Anticipating my vacation

[mithriltabby]

I’m planning on going on vacation for the week of July 4th, so I wanted to put together a guide for people who need to solve Windows problems while I’m out. I titled it “Fenestral Haruspication”— literally “divination by inspection of the entrails of Windows”.

(Update: changed from “fenestric” to “fenestral” when a bit of searching showed that the latter is actually in the dictionary.)

That's several levels of wonderful! And right up there with the 1337-speak Tolkien inscription.

I particularly enjoy the indirect reference to disembowelment as an image for a program crash.

Goes right along with "defenestrate" as a synonym for "install Linux".

And my older daughter has a T-shirt that reads "If I wanted your opinion, I'd read your entrails."
