Ugh... just spent an hour doing the BlitzMax/MinGW reinstall hokey-bastard-cokey. Finally it's working.

I hate reinstalling.. Such a fucking pain in the arse, sometimes.

Once everything works, I try not to touch any of the settings incase they all fuck up again. But once it's working .. It seems to work happily for a while.

Setting up the Android SDK, MingW etc. etc. etc. on new computers is always a fucking laugh a minute.

Yep, reinstalling old shit again and again is a fucking pain in the arse.

This time, I went all clever-arse and made notes as I did it.

That said, I've made notes before, then lost the text file.

Laptop appears to be fucking up, this week.
Not sure why.
Perhaps it knows it's Black Friday week..

Not looking forward to reinstalling..

You do realise this Black Friday thing is all a con? Just like the January sales - nothing is any cheaper than the rest of the year. All they have to do is ramp the price up for a month, then put it back to what it was before and they can legally call it "on sale".

That said, I will enjoy watching the news, featuring all the smegheads fighting over the last Polaroid TV again. I just wish they'd show them queueing up to return it three days later because it's crap.

I usually find myself using the Black Friday week as an excuse to browse things I normally wouldn't.
Typically when searching for things, I have an idea in mind, but with random oddities showing up, I occasionally stumble upon a decent looking oddity.

I doubt I'll be stumbling upon a decent lappy, though. That'd be a rarity!
