windows install adventure 

Apparently you have to use a 3rd-party tool called Rufus that is Windows-only to create a 'Windows To Go' install on any non-MS approved external drive. The official windows install mediums themselves will all just refuse if they detect a drive attached over USB. Unfortunately this is a my passport drive so I can't just shuck it to get a SATA connection, so I had to setup a Windows VM just to use Rufus, to install Windows.

I had no clue that Windows will whine and kick like an unhappy mule if you try putting it on an external drive.

programming 

I always forget the JVM is supposed to make things easier when the time comes to actually try building a project on it. It just makes way less sense than traditional compilation and project build management regardless of what tools you use. I love several JVM languages but they will always be held back by their ridiculous and bafflingly complex build systems. I would kill to just be dealing with regular old compiling and linking errors, this is torture.

I'm surprised. This is my surprised face.
