I'm a futurist. I love technology, I love progress, I love new solutions to old problems. I tend to privelege ideas just because they are novel (see my entry on Laser Guillotines). But this recent problem with Blogger has really helped me see how we have built our digital house on a foundation of lint. Our reliance on tech has become so narcotic that one electromagnetic pulse could send the nation into drooling, barfing seizures of tech withdrawal. Remember how freaked out I was about y2k? You all called me crazy, and maybe I was -- but at least I was prepared.
So there's a problem with posting new posts and I freak out. I know that you, the reader, are absolutely FLIPPING YOUR SHIT wherever you are, totally at a loss for what to do, scrolling down your "favorites" or "bookmarks" menu over and over again every five minutes, checking to see if there's a new post, and dying a little each time you see that same stupid post about The Matrix. "Oh God," you think. "Where's UD? Is he hurt? Hello? Can he hear me? HELLO? CLICK ONCE FOR YES AND TWICE FOR NO!! AARRGH" Heh. Yes, that really is what you sound like. So howbout the help on the Blogger site? They seem to be telling me that the problem will just "go away." Ha! That's what they said about the zombies, and didn't they just KEEP ON COMING, no matter WHAT WE DID? Well, I fixed the zombies then and I fixed the Blogger now. Tune in tomorrow for more exciting shit. 0 comments |
