The half of the neuron population on this brain of mine, which was already assigned to that project (Yup it&#8217;s taking that amount of space and energy already), leapt in joy.  In fact it was leaping for almost five minutes that at the end of that period, I could feel some bouncing motion in my head.  And for another hour, my head was nodding involuntarily as if I&#8217;m listening to a certain rock band&#8217;s beat.<\/p>\n<p>So off I went to another client, having that sense of peace which was missing for almost a week because of those &#8216;outside factors&#8217;-induced problems plaguing Valhalla.<\/p>\n<p>When I returned home, the Valhalla.client showed me this error:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana\">Terminating thread due to a stack overflow problem. A VxD, possibly recently installed, has consumed too much stack space. Increase the setting of &#8216;MinSPs&#8217; in the SYSTEM.INI or remove recently installed VxDs.<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nFor a second or two the neuron population went nuts.  Grinding sounds were heard on my head.  When will all these problems end?  BUGS seem to be coming and coming and I am slowly being drained.<\/p>\n<p>I was slowly isolating the factors in my head, calculating the possible cause of the problem.  All of them seem to point to that Shutdown WinAPI.  Then I realized&#8230; I was online and there is such thing known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com target=\"_blank\">GOOGLE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So I entered the error as a query and I got <a href=\"http:\/\/service1.symantec.com\/SUPPORT\/nav.nsf\/docid\/19971031112845\" target=\"_blank\">this result from Symantec&#8217;s support site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You see&#8230; the culprit was Norton Antivirus 2001, but since the last thing that was done on that place was the installation of a new system from me, all computer-related problems are being blamed on Valhalla.  Probably if an asteroid hits the ocean they would blame Valhalla too.  What&#8217;s next, Valhalla as the cause of offshore related problems?<\/p>\n<p>But this is just part of the thing they call as &#8216;work hazards&#8217;&#8230; or whatever.  Besides as the saying goes&#8230; &#8216;Smooth seas do not produce skillful sailors.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Or if we&#8217;ll do it the Master Yoda way:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><font face=\"Tahoma, Verdana\">Skillful sailors<br \/>\nSmooth seas<br \/>\nProduce not.<\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning when I received an sms message telling me that the computers running Project:Valhalla shutdown as expected.
