Bye, Bye, HDL Designer

Filed under: personal,Proprietary Crap,Windows — Antti Kaijanmäki @ 19:40

I took part in a digital design course at the university where we had to use Mentor Graphics® HDL Designer™ for exercises. After a long hassle we students were able to install the software to our personal computers. I probably can’t say anything about HDL Designer because of the EULA/NDA, but maybe it’s better for Mentor’s sake :twisted:

The course exam was held this week so now it’s time to nuke the software; something that I’ve waited from the day I installed it. It’s great that I don’t have to use it on any remaining courses. Hopefully I don’t have to touch it never again, not even with a gross-feet pole! I really hope it will uninstall nicely through Add or Remove Programs so that I don’t have to nuke the whole Windows installation while I’m at it.

edit: Breaking News!

The only thing the Mentor’s god damn custom Uninstaller was able to remove was it self.  Now my machine has a pile of steaming uninstallable crap! perkele!!

removed project desription

Filed under: personal — Antti Kaijanmäki @ 23:45

I just removed the Kesäkoodi project description from the main page of this blog. I think it was time for that, too. I should probably do something about my main site; actually it would be ideal to have uniform theme, but I don’t think I got the time to modify the main site template  to play nice with wordpress. Besides I truly like both themes alot, I probably leave the blog and main site as they are.

Talking about themes I’m afraid that this wordpress theme becomes bit-rotten as WP adds new CSS classes and the theme is not receiving any updates. I wonder if there’s any documentation what kind of CSS classes WP uses.. I could add them to the theme myself.

I don’t know how come it is so hard to make time to write something in this blog. Many times have I been thinking how I’m going to write about some events, but it has not happened. Maybe one reason is that I don’t want to write anything hasty. I really enjoy writing when I have the time to write and produce text of some quality at least. Well, maybe I work the same with almost all the things I do. I don’t like to crash through anything :-)

I’ve been very busy with my ordinary (yeah, right..) life so I’m happy I’ve managed to work and sort out the most important stuff. Unfortunately blogging is not very high on the priority list. I have some ideas how I could improve my blogging rate in the future, but let’s see what comes out of it. Anyway there has been quite a lot of events and stuff that I’m going to cover in this post.
