[Moblog] BSOD

I came to work this morning and was greeted by a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on my main workstation. Multiple reboots only resulted in multiple BSODs. Only the "Safe Mode" worked but I didn't know my local login - we normally log in using network domain username/password.

My theory? Last night I left the machine to do a full compilation. Without our knowledge the IT department also pushed a patch requiring machine restart. These two must have collided in a BSOD sort of way.

I am just glad that I didn't come to work at 9am this morning (10am is typically the acceptable starting time for engineers). Otherwise I would have wasted one extra hour of beauty sleep.
