    using System;class Derp{ static int Main(string[] args) { try { if(true) { Exception ex = new Exception("DERP"); /* Look at this .NET, that I just found! When I say go, be ready to throw! Go! */ throw ex; } ... } catch (Exception) { //Ugh, lets try something else... return -1; } return 0; }}
    Pointless, but kind of a fun idea. I like it more than "Let it throw."

    Does this "feature" bother anyone else? I'm programming away late last night and decide to stop and get some sleep. I hover over the shutdown button and apparently Windows needs to update before shutting down.
     
    I never leave my updates run unattended because that's just generally not a great idea. I don't do that for Linux and I certainly wouldn't for Windows. So what now? I can't tell Windows "do that stuff the next time I turn the machine on", it has to be done now. At 1 AM. Do I concede and install the update like Microsoft wants? No, I hold the power button for around 5 seconds and go to sleep at the risk of corrupting my file system. The update installs fine the next morning anyway when I turned the computer on.
     
    Why is there so little control over Windows Update? On the Linux side of my PC, it's a sudo pacman -Syu and you're up to date with the latest in security fixes. It doesn't say "Your kernel has updated! You will restart in 15 minutes!" or "A new kernel is available! It will automatically install the next time you shut down!", the user is responsible for keeping their machine up to date and in exchange, the system doesn't get in their way. That is good unobtrusive design that encourages users to stay up to date rather than disabling updates all together.
     
    Sorry, I just really needed to say this. I'm sure there's a policy somewhere that I can modify to change that behaviour, but I'm on Windows so infrequently that it isn't that big of a deal. It's just really annoying when it does...
     
    (Hah... first post ever on this thing and it's a rant about something regarding Windows. Fitting.)

    So I've decided to turn this blog into a place to record my dreams. This might be useful for inspiration somewhere down the line, plus after a particularly frightening, enjoyable or downright crazy dream, I like sharing them. It might be a while before something crazy like the segway version of mario kart comes around, but here we go anyway with entry 1.
     
    I was the captain on a modestly-sized ship. It was one of those fancy ships rich people own where people could relax on couches on the interior or go on the deck to watch the ocean. Other than myself, Velma, Shaggy, Fred and Daphne from Scooby Doo were on board (Scooby himself noticably abscent.) We were out in the middle of the ocean, clear waters and sunny skies.
     
    Everything was going swell until the sky suddenly turned a deep shade of gray. The sea became restless and lightning flashed violently all around. I looked about and noticed the ship was surrounded by piercing glowing eyes from the ocean's depths. A massive sea serpent / dragon leapt out of the water from starboard into the sky. It must have been football fields in diameter and describing its length is impossible; it must have taken over 15 seconds to fully surface. After breaking out of my fear-induced trance, I leapt to the helm of the ship as it writhed above us and dream-warped to the shore.
     
    There, we tried to hide from the dragon by finding refuge in a small shack on the coast. I can't remember precisely what happened, but I remember Shaggy making a joke about only hating bee's more than dragons and promptly getting stung. It was around this point where I woke up or I've forgotten the rest.
