(They need a sad icon.)
I'm bored.
I'm supposed to be developing software to control a piece of hardware.
Only the software engineers at this company are on the bottom of the totem pole (so to speak) and thus it's rare indeed that I actually have access to the hardware.
Without access to the hardware, I can't test my code.
And without being able to test my code, I don't know what (if anything) I need to fix in it.
So I'm really just bored and waiting for access to the hardware so that I can actually do my job.
And, I have to admit, aspects of my darker nature are enjoying all of this bickering between everyone over AMD and Intel and blah blah blah.
I know I should rise above and be better than all that and just not argue. But it's just too much fun to insite further arguments.
Especially when I'm already annoyed that I can't test my software.
And, I'm learning. You know that AMD/Matrox AGP card problem? I've been having what would appear to be the same thing happen whenever I'm running Win2K and VC++ 6.0. And while I have the Millenium G400 AGP, my CPU is a P3 750 Slot1.
So I'm guessing that something about VC++ 6.0 in combination with Win2K and the G400 manages to corrupt that memory as well even on a P3 system. (Even after updating ALL of the drivers on my system.) Which lends me to believe it's actually a VIA problem, not an AMD problem.
I don't suppose anyone else has run into this problem?
