Dear Windows,
If you feel the need to download printer drivers at 3 AM, please don’t announce it by playing cutesy chimes. People are trying to sleep ya know? That goes double if the chime is just to announce a prompt to ask you if you want to search for updated printer drivers.
In other news, I’ve been using git at work a lot lately. There’s a steep learning curve and it took three tries to convince me that git is better than (version control of the day), but once I grokked it, I was hooked. So many hours have been lost waiting for subversion to show commit logs or perform commits. Also, I’m going back and forth to my laptop without being able to connect the latter to the network, so git-bundle and git-svn are much better than my previous solution of extensive use of patch(1). Branching and merging is so easy that I invent excuses to do them.
