My phone's keypad has shorted out. My internet is busted, relaying nothing but a series of blinking red and green lights. My laptop is beginning to sputter towards the twilight years, running high fevers, whirring out strange requests and losing its train of thought mid-command.
Basically, if I am in ANY WAY a carpenter, my toolbox is full of dull, splintering hammers and graham cracker nails.
The thing I find most baffling, in times like these, is the 18 months of system stability that preceded this crash. Why do these things not happen discretely, or gradually? All I can imagine is that the technology gods must operate some sort of God of War style combo system. I GUESS I'm glad to provide a multiplier bonus, but I'd rather be, you know, functional again.
At any rate, that's why I haven't been bloggin or emailin or callin as much this week: I'm experiencing errors. Hopefully I'll be fixed soon.

The only solution is an iPhone. Your 399 dollars at work.

Jamie, welcome to the world of gremlins and snafus, and why I generally refuse to work with servers anymore. (I run Windows and Linux servers for personal use, but I don't do them for other people anymore if I can help it, and try to weasel out of it at every opportunity).
So, as with all tech-terrors, the trick is to make sure your technology is more afraid of you than you are of it. Wield a crowbar and use harsh language, and if the tech-god is hating you, hate him back...he'll respect you more and so will your byte-sized machines.(He might be a she)
Also, never let the smoke out of the computer.
Peter, if you're Preuss...you're iPhone is broken, isn't it? :) Last week you had a message from me you couldn't delete.
