Day of reverses

Blogger is having trouble with my template, and re_invigorate (the open-source site-tracking software) is slowing my pages down to a crawl, and now ecto is unable to edit posts (at least Adriaan is on top of this, natch).

Blogger changed their Atom code and in the process broke stuff. The new ecto has a fix for that, but the public beta won't be out for a week. Please have patience.

yeesh.

Not to mention, one of my external firewire drives (a maxtor 60 gig drive that I should have returned while still under warranty) ejects itself when my iPod is updating, and causes failures, requiring me to boot in OS 9 to fix.

Uhh, lessee, what else can I kvetch about? Got a cavity filled, but that wasn't too bad actually. A work-related contract dispute is actually much worse than any of these minor blips, and that is still unresolved, but I won't bore you with details (suffice it to say, when the other party of a signed contract says, "Contracts are made to be changed", this doesn't bode well. What's the point of having contracts if one party can suddenly, arbitrarily alter the damn thing? I mean, "Contracts are made to be changed", might as well mean, "Contracts are made for litigation", or something more scatological. )

All this on a day when I posted Haymarket news on a high traffic wobblie page, and a local weeklypaper wants to publish my photo....

can I start drinking heavily now?

jes kidding, it isn't really that bad
