Stupid Technology

Having trouble with Blogger & NYLPM - getting some silly 210 error. Stupid Blogger. Of course, this neglects the service Blogger provides, and the greatness inherent in that service. But, of course, folks don't notice a damn thing with any sort of "making life easier" tool until said tool lets you down.

Should folks be more forgiving of technology, or should such thoughtless kvetching be allowed to continue? For instance, should 50+-year-olds unfamiliar with the ways of the computer be kicked square in the kidneys every time they bitch about a PC / internet / copier / fax machine malfunction?

Do you lazy bastards only check topics if they're in the NEW ANSWERS column? C'mon, now.

The only glitches that should be forgiven are those directly related to products that I have worked on. If the Marines' supplies accidentally get rerouted to Singapore, I expect belly chuckles and reassuring pats on the back.

Ive been really wondering lately if technology creates more problems than it solves, especially IT

Facebook won't let me post a link to my own event on my own timeline. Keeps telling me I don't have security permissions.

Tried to update to iO6 yesterdaya nd it wiped my whole phone - all the music and apps and now I have to download and reset everything.

Furthermore my iPhone says it's connected to WiFi but still says 3G is in operation... what?

And my laptop connection keeps cutting out every ten minutes and I have to manually reconnect to get it to work.

My train was late this morning.

Every number I try to ring at work today is perpetually engaged.

Fuck you technology
