Needless to say, there is just about 1 week left before I graduate. The only thing left is a word that will cause students to flee a room: FINALS. How am I doing? Eh, if you call having severe cravings to burn all of my textbooks and do nothing but sit around and watch Law and Order all day normal, then I say I’M DOING FINE THANKS.

So, today. Hmm. Let’s just say that I was having a nervous breakdown using Visio 2007. For those that do not know, Visio is a program to help one visualize models for a computer system. (such as a system for content control, for example a blog) Either way I was using Visio because I had a group project due and I was the person checking to make sure all of the page numbers aligned with the other milestones that we’ve had throughout the semester. On one of the diagrams, I noticed that there was a misspelling in the model. All I had to do was view the properties of said model in question and change it, right?

WRONG.

SO WRONG. In Visio 2003, when you click on a part of the model, the properties will automatically pop up in a neat little box on the screen. What happened when I clicked on a part of the model in Visio 2007 to view the properties? Nothing. Nada. Zip. I tried everything short of throwing my computer out the window, and so I started to Google certain phrases to try and find a solution for my problem.

Well, unfortunately Google wasn’t helping, and the results that turned up were not helpful at ALL. Also, I had no one to vent my frustration to, so therefore I present to you my auto-fill for Google search:

Annddd here is a blown-up portion of the part in question. I hope you can share in my frustration as you see how horrible Visio 2007 is.

Alright, I am going to need rope, duct tape, knives, a blow-torch, small puppies and an outraged computer scientist (shouldn’t be too hard to find, you might have to wait until the right season though). I’ll bring the ransom letter.

Meet me at Bill Gates’ house. The puppies are to be used ONLY in case of emergencies (ie. they don’t comply)

Frisbee got its name from William Russel Frisbee, who was a pie baker. He used to sell his pies in a thin tin pan, which had Frisbee written on it. When Walter Frederick Morrison thought of the idea of making saucer like disks to play catch, he visited the campus of Yale and noticed people there were using the pie pan to play catch so he therefore renamed his invention to Frisbee.
