Windows Live, you bitch!
Windows Live Messenger is now forcing people to upgrade! What the hell. I don’t want a new upgraded messenger. There’s nothing better about it. There’s no need for it. And since when do IM programs force you to update to one and only version? Dictatorship! Boo.
I couldn’t sign in unless I upgraded, and then of course something was messed up with the install. Dumb msi file. Made me all frustrated for a couple of hours. I started imagining life without messenger. Will I go back to the 90s and ICQ? Holy molly. Looking at wikipedia, 330,000,000 people are connected to live messenger. Are they all hating it now? Probably not.. just my fellow geeks. I kept watching the install process and that dumb roll back, whenever it hit 80%. After a long day at uni, I was ready to kill someone if it meant I could somehow reach 100% and see Johnny Depp smiling at me from my display picture.
I eventually uninstalled everything related to windows live, and the anticipation for a full install was sickening. THEN, live messenger resurrected. Magic. I still hate you, bitch.
Now I should just sit back, forget about messenger being Mussolini, forget about neorealism and its precious Rob Rossellini, and maybe hope for pasta tortellini. Oy, italian theme. University days are over, weekend started. I love wednesdays after 8pm.
