Hello there,

recently i started massively working on my game project again, and i really fall in love with doxygen and mercurial

Check it out

Hello,

normally i don’t care much if people use windows or Linux or mac, i just try to show people some new site when they never heard about Linux and help them with some install stuff if they want, so i am not a big fan of flame wars and fanboy-bashing.

But this morning i needed to work shortly on an windows machine, my windows optinion changed from “i don’t care” to “wtf” … The System was an WinXP on dual core with 4G ram, i was asked to help with some updates.

I started updating, everything went quite well, but then acrobat reader hit me straight in my Balls …

I never understood why document viewing application need a 70Mb download and about 150MB space to install, but this time i was really surprised, acrobat (only the reader) started downloading and unpacking and checking and installing, and checking again, and cleaning up and seriously ask me to reboot the windows system (that took 19min on a dual core system) … i was quite speechless already, but after the reboot he started again cleaning up registering components ands so on …

As he finished, i checked all the functions i could find in that app to figure out what that is all about, but it is basically the same simple PDF reader it was many years ago, i don’t get the point.

I checked out of curiosity some other components as well, i found a HP driver that uses 110MB of memory (some wired management stuff that can’t be separated from the driver). I thought gnome was already getting to heavy (using awesome now) but well, memory and new CPU’s are cheap these days ….

Cheers
