Sometimes the small hates are the most consuming ones.

My desktop uses Gnome. I mostly like it; it’s certainly not hate-free, but it’s not the topic of today’s rant.

OpenOffice.org.o.OoOO.Oooo runs on my Gnome desktop. I don’t really like OpenOffice, but some idiot has sent me a picture as, of all things, a PowerPoint presentation, and I need to be able to look at the benighted thing. So. Now I can Alt+Tab between the thing I’m actually working on, and the stupid picture stuffed into the stupid PowerPoint document.
