And for the end I thought I should also mention (as a sort of a continuing of the "about.html" page: /other/about.html) a few of the computing-related things that I hate the most; in fact I passionately hate most of them.

THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT BOTHER ME
As first, I become almost agressively bad-willed, if I've run computer over night, and in the morning I discover that there were no DC-projects were running for all night long, i.e. that I forgot to execute SETI, or forgot to trigger "continue" or "start" commands for FAH (with Psservice CLI programs from Sysinternals) before going to sleep. As second, also "projects-software" related, it's about forgotting to execute the BeWeS MouseTracker application, and so I am clicking for more than an hour or even two, three, without MouseTracker monitoring and saving the results (distances and number of left/right clicks) of the mouse-clicks. This occurs quite often to me, since I go used to exit the program over night (because as mentioned on the "software.html" page, it generates 20% CPU spikes every 20 seconds or so) or when I am going out for more than two, three hours. As third, since I am still a 56K dial-up modem user (and I need to be careful because of the phone-bill), I totally hate if some user of Soulseek p2p sharing-program I am using, deletes or moves some file that I am currently downloading, especially if it is a more than 50% finished live set or a video file (short clip, serie etc), so I am left with these various useless "unfinished" files on my hard-disk. As fourth I totally hate when I downloaded some for instance 30 or 70 MB video-file till 90% or so (the usual size of South Park episodes), and then that user doesn't log-on for few weeks or even months, and then I use the Soulseek's "Search Files" function just to find out that there exists an only 19 MB in-lenght version of this particular clip/episode. As fifth, I also totally hate when I am connected to the Internet, and I mute the mp3 player with which I am listening some audio stream (as already mentioned above, I mostly listen to the show by Alex Jones on conspiracy theories etc.), and then I forgot that it's playing and that I've mutted it, so therefore I am connected "for nothing" since instead of downloading that stream (I surely see with DUMeter program that "something" is downloading), I could be downloading other stuff or simply disconnect from the WWW.
Then as sixth, I especially hate it, when I start to download some file, for which I though I don't have any of its "fragments" yet, but only to discover afterwards (when I already started with the new one from the beginning) that this particular file was indeed already partially downloaded residing on my hard-disk; namely for example when I already downloaded some for instance 30 or 70 MB video-file till 50-90% or so (same as above), and then the user from whom I was downloading that file doesn't log-on for some time, and therefore in that time I totally forgot that this particular clip was already partially downloaded, and so I start to download it from the beginning with the different file-name and realize it when this new file is at 50-90% again. One such recent example was when I was downloading 406 episode of South Park titled "Cartman joins NAMBLA", and then the user from who I was downloading deleted that file from it's hard-disk. Therefore I totally for got about it, and when I saw other users with this same file after few weeks, I first of course searched my download directory for a file, which would contain words: "Cartman", and "NAMBLA", and since I haven't found any, I started to download it from scratch. But you see, the problem is that I should obviously also look for a word: "406", since there in fact there was alaready a file containing that South Park episode, but the problem was that the file (which was already almost 1/2 finished) didn't have the full name of the mentioned episode of South Park in its name, but only the number of it. Yeah, you can bet that after I've discovered this, I was mad as hell. And finally, I've already mentioned elsewhere on the site that I am a "formatting maniac" (i.e. I am pedantically caring about formatting), but let me also mention one of the things that I hate in this regard (or as a result of this); it's that I totally hate if I mis-formatted some sentence or HTML/BBCode element in a comment on such a blog where editing is not possible. Urghhhh, urghhhh, urghhhh.
