Sofia's a frickin' genius

Not only is she reading *One Fish, Two Fish* to me at bedtime, she started to learn to "program" today with Kodu Gamelab.

Ok, I was giving her step-by-step instructions, I don't think she could have done anything with it on her own.

Cathy's not impressed.  "She is almost five, you know."

Neat, neat program, though - as a primer to programming it's awesome.  And we could practically have written Schizoid with it - color-coded enemy bashing is built in.  A bargain at $5.

Why has sneakernet returned?

For us, it seems to be the cryptic security and permissions crap involved in sharing files.  We somehow couldn't find any of our memory sticks today and we resorted to attempting to share files.  It never works the first try anymore.  "You don't have permission..." if you're a public user, because the permissions have somehow been set incorrectly...or you need to log on as the owner of the box.  Or whatever.

Windows has taken us back to the dark ages.  Next thing our source control will stop working.

Are we being mocked?

Probably, but I'm getting at least one.

And really, it's not the space lobsters that have to work cooperatively, it's you.
