    Things I Have Learned Today

    • Technology is a fickle mistress.
    • Things will mysteriously start to work again, flawlessly, once you give up trying to fix them.
    • Windows will always find a way to piss you off, and it will twist the knife at the same time.
    • Failure of one OS suddenly makes you think your alternative (working!) OS is utterly perfect in every single way - even though in real life it is not.
    • Having a second system is incredibly useful and comforting.
    • Being lazy about backing data up results in fear and panic, so it is better to just keep things backed up constantly, no matter how safe you think you are.
