| Which reminds me of computers. I've been using
| them for a long time. For the past six or
| seven years, I've been a devotee of Linux.
| Linux, or more properly GNU/Linux, is a free,
| open source computer operating system. Several
| tech-savvy guys recommended it to me, and I
| invested many hundreds of hours in exploring
| it.
|
| The good news: it works, it's fast and
| powerful, it is immune to all extant viruses,
| and it's free. The bad news: it was a steep
| learning curve, although more current
| "distributions" or brands of Linux are easier.

Linux made me feel dumb.

| It's true. Linux made me feel dumb. It is
| not a nice feeling to feel dumb yet I did.
| Me, the great Locutus who prides himself on
| his technical wizardry and knowledge of all
| things involving electrons, had to resort
| to calling a help desk to solve a problem.
| The solution of which produced a Homer
| Simpson style DOH! and the aforementioned
| dumb feeling.
|
| It happened like this. Recently our online
| banking authentication procedures changed.
| For the better I might add. While these
| security measures are far more secure they
| also prevented me from accessing our joint
| bank account whenever I wished. The end
| result was that I didn't check the account
| status often enough and an automatic
| payment didn't go through. Enough was
| enough I shouted out the window at two
| o'clock in the morning. After dodging a few
| smelly shoes and empty beer bottles I
| decided to set up my wifes phone to enable
| it to use the new security measures.

|
| Thank you Linux for making me feel dumb.
| Thank you Linux for making me forget about
| that rebooting thing. Thank you Linux for
| being such a wonderful operating system
| even though you have your quirks and
| foibles. Next time I will try and remember
| to reboot after making configuration
| changes on anything that does not run
| Linux.
