Status: Still waiting on "All Hat and no Cattle" @Polygeekery's story writeup.

Status: Aaaa the vet just called.
The good news: The back part of the wound healed fine, so she didn't need to re-stitch that part although she left in the stitches that were there.
The bad news: When she re-incised the front part of the wound she found that some fluid had leaked into it, so now my cat needs a DRAIN INSTALLED IN HER like a shower I guess and also not only does she need to go back in in 3 days to have the drain removed, she now needs more medications. And of course to wear the cone for another week at least.
When I took her in this morning I expected Blakeycat to be done with the medical procedures, cripes.

Status: WTF is going on a Mozilla?
Freshly imaged computer, installed Firefox from official source (even checked the SSL cert), got a ransomware notice.

The kind that malicious websites pop up in your browser using JavaScript or the kind that encrypts your hard drive?
-
@ben_lubar It looks like a JavaScript thing or a Firefox extension. The number it tells us to call is 8776643539. It must be a pretty new "exploit", there have only been relevant Google links for that number for 16 hours.
I sent a bug report, so maybe Mozilla will try to figure out how it got into the official default build.

Yeah, got this on a legit chrome installation yesterday. Seems someone manages to spoof DNS or something, because very quickly it goes back to google.com...

Status: Not going downtown for a meetup tonight was the correct decision. Made a bit more progress on my Doom II playthrough. Looking for a good next item on my personal project's backlog to address - most of the outstanding items at this point will probably need to be broken down into smaller chunks. I'm using a dependency plugin with Trello to keep track of everything, and it's nice to be able to make complex graphs of cards that depend on each other.

Status: Half the documentation for VxWorks 653 is tautological. Here are a few examples:
- The ApplicationDescription document is an XML document conforming to the ApplicationDescription document type.
- The Shared_Library_API document is an XML document conforming to the Shared_Library_API document type.
- The SharedLibraryDescription document is an XML document conforming to the SharedLibraryDescription document type.
- (Repeat the above for all 9123989746567158297690 XML document types)
- Platform providers are responsible for developing the platform.
- Application developers are responsible for developing applications.
This manual would be less than half the length if they cut out the tautological definitions.

@Tsaukpaetra One of my co-worker's PC is doing that, only the average response time gets as high as 15K ms. I called Dell and they were like "if the built-in diagnostics don't find anything, can you try reinstalling windows?" and that was the end of that, because I couldn't.

Yes, the word "fuck" has two different meanings, one metaphorical and one literal. Ha ha. What a hilarious gag. Laugh-a-minute.

@Tsaukpaetra Is it spinning or SSD?
If it's spinning, check the DMA level in the driver for it. Windows has a tendency to turn-down the DMA level when it encounters any errors, but never turn it back up afterwards. This can happen to a perfectly fine drive which happens to have a bad disk controller.
If it gets to the point where Windows gives up and puts the drive into PIO mode, then... well you'll notice because everything runs like shit.

@Onyx It looks like Full Throttle? The LucasArts biker/rocker/adventure game?
I remember it had wind up bunnies that you have to use to set off all the mines in a minefield, that might be the icon for them.

Reminds me of a certain DB documentation consisting solely of a schema dump and tautological definitions like "Table FOOBARS, field WIDGET_ID: ID of a widget for the foobar".
Some poor sod had to write 50 pages of that. I wonder if he's out of the asylum already.

Spinning, and it's been slow enough that I moved my Steam library onto a USB 2.0 external drive (to put things into perspective).
I'll have to google around to check that DMA thing though. I remember setting something like that in BIOSs forever ago, didn't know Windows had its own setting...
-
@Tsaukpaetra Last time I saw it was in Windows XP, so. Grain of salt.
But the way Windows handles weird HD errors is to lower the DMA level of the drive. Back when I saw this, there was no mechanism to raise the DMA level back up once the weird HD errors went away. And on the computer I saw this behavior on, the HD errors were due to a faulty motherboard/disk controller, the actual spinning disk was perfectly fine.
Anyway, just a possibility.

Huh. I will definitely check that on my coworker's computer. IIRC you can do that in the device properties in Device Manager.
