Amongst other things I've discovered today, one of the most major is that Squaresoft, while a good RPG designer, doesn't know how to program Windoze. This is evidenced by two factors: 1) The ONLY way to quit Final Fantasy 8 is by Alt-F4, and 2) After a session of said game, the computer is in great danger of being BSoDed down. A new ultimatum was presented to my brother to reboot the damn machine every time he's done playing the game.

Besides that, I found it is also much more reliable to write Day Logs the day OF the Day Log itself, rather than the day after, when you forget everything. Though writing it the day after allows you to take into account things that happen really late in the day/night, nothing usually happens, and you end up forgetting half of what happened that day.
