Sorry in advance for everyone who was nice enough to post on my crappy blog! You rock. I’ve been out of the loop, because I purchased a house, and that has eaten up a few months of my life. In that time I’ve done enough stupid repair projects that...

A Search inside of an Adobe product doesn’t give you anything resembling a fast answer – it just takes you to their crappy website. A google search gives me a faster fucking result. Hire some UI designers you dumb fuckers....

Thanks Asshats. Microsoft updates broke Office 2007, Skype, Mozilla, Chrome. I’ve uninstalled 2 updates ( of the 23 ) which lets me use Excel again, but Outlook still crashes.

So yeah, I guess I’m behind the times. I haven’t browsed categories on the appstore since whenever IOS6 kicked in. To be fair, I also didn’t update to IOS until recently. I don’t like trusting my daily communication to software updates. Late adopter in the hizzy! While trying to...
