Something old, something new

Hi team

I have just downloaded and installed the latest build (1804) and find the old 'failed to create uninstaller' chestnut has popped up again. This has been fine in all the recent builds, so a definite regression here in this one.

Also, as part of the ongoing title bar font saga, which for those unfamiliar is where the title bars in details view were always minimised, which meant you couldn't read the titles. This has since been fixed and all looks beautiful, until you move the centre window 'pillar' (the movable border that separates the local and remote windows). Grab it and move it a fraction either way and the titles corrupt and won't refresh into anything legible until the title bar is clicked.

Neither of these bugs are a show stopper, but they are annoying. Running Windows 7 Ultimate with the usual stuff, administrator account etc.

We actually just reverted back to build 1796 as a few strange issues appeared in this version. Our lead programmer is out of the office for the week for a death in the family, so I don't think we will have an update anytime this week.

Well, since no software, or update, or in fact anything is anywhere near as important as family, I for one understand completely. And it isn't as if this is a big issue anyway, so there is no problem from my end. In fact, I now feel like a heel for posting this in the first place.

Someone I know has just been diagnosed end-stage cancer and is isolated in some horrible ward (which I'm sure has incredible staff, but is just not his home) so my company is raising funds from our clients to match the amount we have thrown in the pot to provide him a nice laptop with a cellular Internet link for as long as he is able to use it. I'm sure after that the ward can give it to someone else in need of keeping in touch with the outside world. We gave a couple of laptops last year to the Child Cancer Foundation which, and I know you'll find this hard (or not) to believe, gets no funding from our wonderful Government. It is funded solely by benefactors and volunteers. The difference it made to those kids, who are almost all from out of town, being able to chat to their friends on Skype from an isolation ward still moves me; I can still see the smiles and it is awful to realise that not one of those original kids is still with us. I understand the computers still get well used.

I can't believe it is 2010 and with all the money in the world there is still no reliable cure for a disease that takes far too many far too early. Of course, there is more than enough money for bullets and bombs - not that I'm against using them when the balloon goes up - but there never seems to be enough for research.

Thanks for putting it into perspective. I'll wait however long for an update; it doesn't matter one bit in the greater scheme of things.

Oh, and great work tagging the build number to the file name - it helps me immeasurably with my filing system.
