I need to vent; I finally brought a device for making industrial music! I spent 1hr last night plugging it in, searching for the right software to download.....no joy. The only explanation I can think is that my laptop is incompatible which is stupid because it's only a few months old. I give up! Sticking with guitar distortion pedal....that's as close to industrial music I can get.

I believe him because their are many tips in life you can take to make your life better, things people don't know!

tip 1: If you don't use somethings negative name and use its positive name you can sell it easier, Life insurance sounds a hell of a lot better then Death insurance for example!
tip 2: What he is saying is true, You just need to prove you can do the job and your ahead of all other candidates that haven't proved it, AKA passing a software interview test if its
software dev.

Of all the stupid, slimy hack programs I've had to write...this one is just incredibly dumb...shouldn't be necessary, but is.

A customer purchased a PC upgrade to run their old machine control system HMI (Human Machine Interface) software. The HMI was written like 20 years ago, originally ran on an OS from 1996, and now needs to run on this newer embedded PC / OS. The HMI loads and runs, but will not redraw its background correctly. Through experimentation, I found that it actually does refresh and redraws itself just fine when you change the Windows system colors (like changing the current theme, etc.). This dumb little C# program automates this. The function call to SetSysColors() triggers a message sent to all running programs, forcing them to redraw. And that makes this 20 year old HMI behave. So now I have this dumb little program auto-start, and run in the background, in conjunction with the actual operator interface software.
