Deinstallieren - To Uninstall
It’s about time I got my teeth stuck into something good and relevant to my degree! Software! How exciting! The thrill of uninstalling a program to free up space on your hard disk. Your hard disk. I spent three years studying computing at university and where’s it got me? Making rubbish smutty PC-related jokes on a readerless blog. I don’t see that student loan getting paid off any time soon, do you? So anyway, when was the last time you cleared your hard disk of unnecessary stuff? And not in a Chris Langham or Gary Glitter kind of way? You could make your computer run tons faster - getting rid of those old files (not in a Chris Langham or Gary Glitter kind of way) will definitely increase the likelihood of mechanical legs sprouting out of your CPU and it winning a track-based medal in the 2012 Olympics. Perhaps. No matter how hard I try, there’s very little in the way of hilarity when it comes to circuit boards and software. Web pervs are only funny to a point - then you realise they’re really just creeps who don’t have the balls to be public masturbators or flashers in the park. Hmm. Piracy is a pseudo-necessary evil. I don’t ever download movies, although if I did it wouldn’t make a difference, as working in a cinema I don’t pay to watch films anyway. But as I’m never in to catch the latest episode of 24, and for lack of Sky Plus or even an ancient VCR to grainily capture Jack Bauer‘s ludicrous antics on magnetic tape, I download it every week. I’ll even pretend to delete it after I’ve watched it too, so is that a bad thing? I don’t know, but again it isn’t that amusing. There’s not a huge amount of other material to cover. No wonder most computer science students are humourless and lame. But eventually very rich. Oh well, at least I still have my…..actually I got nothing. Except 24.S07E20.HDTV. So I’m out of here.
