Well it must be ed anyway.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Have you considered asking your company to stop being cheap and cough up the money for a real license?

I'll ask myself!
This is just for one customer and not a very big one (yet).
I only need to change these reports now and maybe once or twice a year after that.
A license would be paying €479 for something I need for like a day a year.
I could consider a license if the customer got bigger or if the CR work becomes more frequent.

So? Bill the client. It's in their interest to have the right tools to fix the problem. There you go, problem solved, my bill is in the mail!

Sure, I'll tell them I'm using a tool that they didn't ask for, but they now have to pay for.
A tool that their previous programmer never charged them for.
We all know this is how to keep clients happy and make sure they'll choose you for their next project
I'm already a lot more expensive than their previous programmer because he was a retired friend who did it for fun.
If only politics didn't exist and every customer was happy to pay whatever you charged them

Fair enough, but then I don't see why you complain about the free tool. There IS a free tool at least... What would you have done if there wasn't?

What's the point in releasing a free tool if it freezes literally every three seconds? (and I mean literally "literally", not figuratively "literally")
And it's a free tool by one of the biggest IT companies in the world, SAP, so you'd expect some quality.
And just because it's free doesn't mean I can't complain about it.
I downloaded and installed the latest version which fixed most of the issues though, so at least there's that.
It's actually workable now.

I'm paying nothing so I was expecting nothing.
They're giving me something though, pain and frustration.
What's the price on that?

I wouldn't know; I've never used that kind of service.

Apparently it's less than the €479 it would cost to get the nonless -crippled version of the tool.

Villagers of Ioannina City - Age of Aquarius[^]
This one has been in my Spotify library for a few weeks, listened to it once, but quickly forgot about it.
Until this week, that is.
And unlike last time, I loved it immediately.
How could I have missed the amazing 70's inspired rock songs, infused with Greek folk music?
It's almost hypnotic!
Especially the second half of the song is simply amazing.
Somewhere between 6 and 7 minutes a flute-like instrument joins the song and it gets all folky up in there and I love it.
An awesome SOTW even among SOTW's!

Probably because of your post, YouTube put Slift in my recommendations. Don't know if you will like it. It reminds me of old-school rock (Black Sabbath, etc.). Pretty decent psychedelic rock that I'd never heard before.

Just in time before the new SOTW
Good stuff
