Huh?

If you work in tech long enough you will, inevitable, come across a fix that leaves you going “Why would anything be designed to do THAT?”

Or, as I tell coworkers when I come across one, “I don’t know why it works, I’m not even sure why those two things are related, but it works, don’t argue with it.”

In that spirit I give you this link over on Pocket PC Thoughts about fixing intermittent alarm problems. Not a difficult workaround, but certainly one that makes very little sense.

  • Nice weekend.

    I just had someone at work ask about my weekend and I had to admit that, for the most part, we didn’t really do much. But in reality that’s not true. I finished reading Gonzo Marketing, (which was very good, and really makes you think!) made some adjustments to the PCHelp page, went to work…
