Last night I was ready for bed, checked a couple of things on the computer, and when I went to shut down, there was another update available. As usual, I OK it, and it starts staying at 0% and telling me not to switch my machine off. Then several restarts and loads of times, it stays at the same level. You never have a clue how long these things take, and the various indicators never tell you how long it's going to be.
Eddie Izzard nails the situation in his Computers and Terms and Conditions stand-up routine, which you can watch here. This happens time and time again. Also, recently, Microsoft applications stopped giving you a timeline and replaced it with a blue spinning circle, and you have no clue what is happening.
#AnimalAugust is going to be "The Bonny Black Hare" by Fairport Convention, the thing is, it's a traditional folk song, and it's not really about a rabbit-related mammal, but the title will do for the sequence.
