Major Upgrade

Post by SHMIV »

About a year ago, I started noticing cans of this stuff called "Wedding Soup" in my pantry.
Around that time, GF started aggressively showing me various pictures of diamond rings, gold bands, and elaborate white dresses, and asking my opinion on these items. She was also pointing out various picturesque locations and making comments like "wouldn't that be a great place for a wedding? "

Subtle as an atom bomb, yeah?

So, the upgrade... I bought a diamond ring last week, and installed it on GFs finger, the other night.

GF will now be referred to as "W2B".

Congrats!

Last year a friend of mine, system administrator as myself, changed the application GirlFriend 6.0 by Wife 1.0 and found that the update was not very successful. First of all Wife 1.0 leaves very little system resources for other applications, not only this, but he has also realized that Wife 1.0 is a prolific processor of Babys 1.x, which are additionally consumers of valuable resources.

There was no mention of this particular fact neither from the product manufacters nor in the warranty, altough some colleagues had inform me that this was expectable, due to the nature of the application.

But surprises didn't end up there, additionally Wife 1.0 configures itself so that it always starts when the system is initialized, from where it can monitor the rest of the processes.

My friend is noticing that some applications like: NightOfPoker 10.3, BeerParty 2.5 and PubNight 7.0 no longer can be run, because Wife 1.0 locks the system when they are selected (even so they always worked fine before).

During the installation, Wife 1.0 installs automatically services not desired, like MotherInLaw 55.8 and the DEMO version of BrotherInLaw. The most outstanding effects of these services are the progresive and daily degradation of the system.

My friend is very seriously considering to change the version of the application Wife, but there are some features that he would like to be added to the next version (Wife 2.0), these are:

A "Forget me" button and another for minimizing.
A new option that allows to install Wife 2.0 with an option of "Desinstall at any time", without losing the cache and other valuable system resources.
An option to run the network controller in "promiscuous" mode, that allows to the system to try shareware version of different applications, to have a better knowledge of the market.

I have decided to avoid all the headaches associated with Wife 1.0, continuing with GirlFriend 2.0. Even so, I have found many problems. Aparently you can't install GirlFriend 2.0 on GirlFriend 1.0, you have to desinstall GirlFriend 1.0 first. Additionally, aparently, the versions of GirlFriend have conflicts to share the same I/O (Input/Output) port. The technical support has said me that it is a known bug and that they are looking for some way to bypass the problem, because it seems to be implemented in the kernel (heart) of the application and it is not a good idea to change it.

Even worse, the program to desinstall GirlFriend 1.0 doesn't work very well, leaving unwished traces of the application in the system. Another problem: all the versions of GirlFriend continually give anoying messanges about the advantages of changing to Wife 1.0. After talking again with the service they suggest me to ignore those messages, and when I point that for that solution it was not necessary to phone them, they go back again on the explanation of the former problem (bug in the kernel).

WIFE 1.0 INCOMPATIBILITIES: If you try to install Lover 1.1 before desinstalling Wife 1.0, this erases the files MS-Money, and after it desinstalls itself. Then Lover 1.1 won't install, claiming that system resources are too low. To avoid this effect, try to install Lover 1.1 in a different environment and never run a file transfer application, like LipStickSpot 6.0. Also try to avoid renting applications, because it's known that they can transmit viruses that can affect Wife 1.0. Another solution is to run Lover 1.1 through a network provider with and anonimous name. Once again, avoid viruses that can be accidentally loaded.

Lol. Looking at that account, I must have downloaded a trial version of the Wife program, inadvertently, when I had intended to download the Girlfriend program.

I had several programs similar to yours that kept crashing or freezing up on me. I finally found a version in California that was developed in Iowa but further refined in San Diego, and found it perfectly compatible with my hardware. I have since developed another program, "Little Bit" based off the original San Diego programming.

Here's a snapshot of both programs. Fortunately, some of the programming updates to both of those have rendered them incompatible with the State of California.

...and might I say, building the Little Bit program was a helluva lot of fun!

And you thought that was a barbless hook she had in you? :hysterical:

Congratulations to both of you! I wish you all the happiness that you can create with each other. :clap:

And as far as losing NightOfPoker 10.3, BeerParty 2.5 and PubNight 7.0, and various other programs, there are updates that cause Wife 1.0 to integrate seamlessly with no loss of resources!

Thank you, Gentlemen! All kidding aside, she's a good woman. I'm a hard guy to live with, under normal circumstances, and she can put up with me while confined to a truck cab for weeks at a time. (Imagine being locked in a walk-in closet with someone for a month and a half!)

@MNM: Seems you've had great fortune with your programs, lol. My own seems to be incompatible with California, too. California causes a great many glitches and erratic behavior. Usually triggers rants against silly hipsters.

Must be a major source of viruses over there. Since they don't allow sufficient firewalls for self defense, the glitches abound.

Congrats man!
