A question for you. . .of what use is technology when it does not function?
My blog, which I run from my home, crashed along with it’s master, Fred the Ornery Server. I have repaired him as of this writing, but it was a godawful thing of a task.
Also, to make my happiness know no bounds, my laptop crashed. My lovely and oh so helpful wife Barb is dropping that piece of broken technology off at the local repair shop in Atlanta. My laptop’s name, by the way, is Surly Shirley. I love her.
Surly Shirley is a Toshiba M200 tablet PC, and I will count the days till I get her back. I kept her brain, because I do not trust anyone else to perform surgery on it when it is working just fine.
A hint for all you WordPress users out there – do not choose Windows IIS6, MySQL 4.1 and PHP 5 as your default configuration for publishing a blog unless you enjoy feeling like the world’s biggest idiot. If arcane software configurations are your hobby, then by all means, pursue this particular cojoining of obtuse diversity.
