Am I Too Dumb?

NOT AN EMO POST. ;D

Scenario: Computer bugged down. Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) appears at startup after Windows XP’s Welcome Screen. Loads smoothly on Safe Mode.

Their Action: Checked bootlog.txt. Discovered that drivers did not load correctly. Checked the drivers, status is installed properly.

Their Plan: Check registry keys at registry editors.

Everytime I’m in this kind of incident, I get so intimidated (If I can’t solve the problem myself)! I feel that I’m a sore loser or something! I know those commands too, but why can’t I do what they do. From an error, they easily trace the poroblem. Then just a few seconds of recall, they can identify the exact problematic (!) registry key and type it in console from their mind. What the heck, how could they memorize those registry paths.

Damn, I forgot that I dreamt to be a programmer and not a troubleshooter! With my really bad memory, I think I can analyze better than recall. Anyway, analyzing is always better than recalling. Sarap silang sabihan, program nalang tayo! Yabang ko!

Weird post, I admit that. I’m a frustrated writer, so please bear with me. ;D

NOTE: If you feel that I am referring to you, don’t worry. It happens to me often, with different people. ;D

    Hey, at least you can check bootlog.txt. Most people don’t even know what the hell BSOD is.

    Ade’s got a good point. When the dreded BSoD pops up, most people I know of, would scream like a girl. :P

    Then again, there’s Ubuntu. Ah yes, glorious. Just glorious.

    @Ade – You have a point. Does that mean I’m still great?

    @Lui – Ooops, too many links already.

    @Jhay – My problem in Ubuntu is my modem. Haha. I’m not willing to pay for a Conexant HSF Driver ($19.95 / year)!

    @Rey – Sure.

    @Mae (Karla) – Ano nanaman Karla?!!
