Useful error from VMware vCenter

After what felt like an eternity VMware vCenter server produced the follow error, how nice of it to give me just part of the path to the logfile. After searching the drive for the log I discovered didnt even exist.

Back to Windows

After nearly 7 weeks without having to suffer Windows in any of its incarnations, I returned to work today and had the pleasure of XP on my horribly clunky Thinkpad. Very shortly after booting it I was presented with the following error message.

What a wonderful dialogue box and what a ‘Useful tip’. A Google search suggests it is something to do with the Windows Bluetooth stack. Oh I dont fucking care you stupid program, I just wanted to message somebody, you worked 7 weeks ago, why are you arsing around now.

As an aside, I notice the 8.3 filename, which still at some level seems to exist in Windows XP. How quaint of it!

Dumb Word error of the day

Double clicking a Word document embedded in a Word document, whilst in Microsoft Word results in Word coming to the conclusion that Word isn’t installed. Amazingly helpful error message, thanks Microsoft.
