A bit of venting…
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Avira Antivir premium: For weeks now, this AV scanner is managing to find false positives. I’m close to deactivating its protection. Fail, Avira, major fail. Guess I won’t buy another year of subscription, but use the competition. But maybe the IE8 compatibility is there by now? I’m not betting on it, tho.
Apple. iTunes made it to version 9. And if you edit MP3 Tags, it a) cannot search in the whole database, but only can compare the beginning of strings, and b) auto-completion doesn’t like being overriden the second it goes into effect, but insists on its changes. Dear Apple, even MS manages that in Vista, the OS widely regarded as the worst evar (at least, until Windows 7 sees wide release).
Cisco. Their VPN client, for some reason, saw fit to change my proxy settings in IE. Without telling me about it. Nor changing it back. Lovely.
My fellow students at the Cologne Institute for Applied Science. You guys need to learn to read a clock, and look up “on time” in the dictionary. The whole day, people managed to be too late to classes. With 15 minutes of time to find the next room. And the campus consists of a whopping 2 buildings. Shall I draw a map, if you don’t know where to go?
Public Transport. God knows, the timetable and routes for the busses are a major source of annoyance. Good thing I don’t mind the weather in my neck of the woods, so I can walk the 2 kms, day and night.
