I'm hating putty at the moment for just hanging my session.

I use it to log into a linux machine and port the x display back to =20
the cygwin X server. It just hung the session on me so I just lost a =20
dozen xterms and other stuff besides. This is downright evil.

It hung the X server too, or maybe the X server hung it. I'm hating =20
quantify as well since I was trying to close its window when the whole =20
thing froze and also because clicking the buttons on its crappy UI =20
doesn't work, or maybe I hate the cygwin X server for that. Still, =20
opening another session and killing the quantify process didn't save =20
me so it's not all quantify's fault.

People seem to like putty because its the best ssh/terminal program =20
for windows. Well it does seem to be, but I hate it because it's still =20
crap compared to almost any ssh/terminal combination on almost any =20
other platform.

The main problem with this software hate thing is that it's often not =20
trivial to know which software to hate. Although almost all software =20
seems hateful, so that's one solution I guess. Fuck it.

Cheers,

Martin.
