Ok, so its that time of year again, where my fingers are crossed and my sphincter is taught, otherwise know as SolidWorks (SW) upgrade time! For those that might not be "in the know" SW is the software program that I use for all my "real job" mechanical design work. It is also a stressful time as sometimes the process doesn't go as smoothly as one would hope. I've taken all the precautions that I could, such as uninstalling the older version first, cleaning out the old registry files, and sprinkling chicken blood all over my cubicle and computer. Luckily I don't work around any vegans.
30-minutes into the process and I am at 18% completion for installing the new version, SW 2011, SP4! The funny thing about upgrading on this particular date is that the beta version of SW 2012 was just released today. That's pretty confident of SW Corporation to do. Why you ask? Its because everyone knows that the world will end in 2012, or more specifically, there will be a major change in the world on or after December 21st, 2012. I'm not a betting man, but my vote goes towards the start of the Zombie Apocalypse on the 22nd.
