Recently I have been having massive issues with my main laptop, it had a decent size memory leak. The page-file would fill up every 3-4 hours requiring a cold reboot. At first I just dealt with it, having to stop what I was doing(read: coding) and reboot my computer 5x a day. Well at 4AM this morning I was composing the release notes for XtraUpload 1.6 RC1 and the page-file ran out of memory. Right when i was finished and i was about to save. I lost everything. Including my mind. So after I rebooted I shut down explorer.exe, opened up the task manager and sorted all processes by User, Process Name. 3 minutes later i was down to 40 processes, mostly created by SYSTEM. I was hesitant at first, but then I remembered my uncontrollable rage when my computer last froze, so I said screw it! Screw them all! One by one I killed the innocent looking for my target and once I found it, with it’s unstable memory allocations occurring right in front of me, I reached for my mouse(I call it Judge Dread) and let “The Judge, Jury, and Executioner” do my dirty work.

Once I rebooted again(I stopped my video drivers in search of my victim, explorer was having a fit) I scoured the Internet looking for this BCMWLTRY.EXE. Turns out it is MY DAMN WIRELESS MANAGER. AHHAHHA!!1!!1one111. So I Decreed that all computers I touch must hack the Matrix through an Ethernet connection.

And now back to writing up the release notes for XU 1.6 RC1
