Exhilarating malfunction
2009-01-14 | Filed Under Amusing |
Today, I had an interesting brain malfunction.
As I was rummaging through the attic, I bumped into a box of old 3,5″ diskettes that were full of software I wrote fifteen years ago. Excited and eager to see what my code from back then looked like, I ran to my notebook only to realise that I no longer actually have a 3,5″ disk drive.
“I know what I’ll do!” I triumphantly declared to my startled cat. “I’ll just use VMWare to create a virtual Windows XP installation, and set that virtual machine up to have a disk drive.” Exhilaration, as they say, is that brief but exciting interval between having a brilliant idea and realising why it is actually a stupid idea.
