MAGiC
It becomes clearer on why one feels throttled using windows. Today I was after some programming that involved using dynamic linking in set-top-box. Its more like trying to make a (messy, by external standards) program have one of its components dynamically linked. I am comfortable with the code I can see but not the one I cannot. Chasing the flow I find there is nothing apparently visible in two consecutive statements that could probably cause a memory protection fault. The scare I get from imagining the probable situation where the underlying layer ([Not so] opentv) might be guilty is pretty ugly. What I am trying to say is this : Open systems - breathe easy.. I don't like magic in computer software (and believing that its magical - though it appears that way often).
New interest in a peculiar kind of painting by Tim and Greg brothers. Found it in a WindowMaker theme called StormWatch that I recently got.
Trying to shake off the uneasiness of not having fixed or found the problem.
