Breakage, breakage everywhere!
- Thunderbird freezing on HTML loads.
- Half Life 2, Episode 1 crapping out at the beginning of the Exit 17 level.
- A Cisco 5520 firewall box is chewing up our inter-site networking schema.
- My Blackberry has decided that Macarena is the only ring tone for me. Damn it! Actually, that’s a disturbingly catchy tune.
- My left rear power window has started squeaking if the ambient temperature is between 43 and 48 degrees.
- My TV, long in need of degaussing, now looks like some digital miscreant urinated on the upper right corner.
- The cat ate my headphones and has had terrible gas ever since. Honestly, it’s the cat.
Technology: the masochistic scourges and whips with which we moderns flail ourselves.
…(moment of reflection)…
In recognition of the “Giving Thanks” blogging model being pioneered by our own Cari Lyle, I should point out that not everything is broken. Helping build things that work makes me happy. And my life is far from dismal!
UPDATE
Strangely enough, as soon as I finished writing this and published it, my email client started working again. The power of positive thinking?
