Event Viewer was developed by aliens

Any windows user should be familiar with the event viewer by now. When yer system starts going haywire, its a good bet the problem is logged in there for you to troubleshoot. But the problem is, the errors are usually described in some gibberish language that make you wonder if the developers were actually from the 3rd moon of Jupiter.

A sample of this gibberish:

The Security System detected an authentication error for the server DNS/*****. The failure code from authentication protocol Kerberos was "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
(0xc000005e)".

Now only those who studied and practice this alien language everyday would have a rough idea how to troubleshoot this kinda problems. But to a normal everyday person, well, it looks like a big pile of crap.

Luckily for us though, the much kinder inhabitants of the 2nd moon of Jupiter created a website for us to better understand the gibberish. ---> eventid.net

Its a great resource to use when troubleshooting problems on yer computer. cheers!
