God I hate technology. I like what it can do but I hate the random way it does it. Trying to transfer email accounts, web hosting stuff, update ftp links and will any of it work? Will it hell. My least favourite phrase at the moment is “may take up to 24 hours for changes to take effect.” Ok, thanks, so how am I supposed to know whether it’s worked or not? Does not getting emails now mean I am incredibly unpopular or is there a dot in the wrong place amongst the billion settings I’ve just had to type?
Also means that no-one can read this post so this is possibly the most futile thing I’ve ever typed. No, hang on, I forgot about all the typing that I did when I worked. A lot of that was far more futile.
Anyway, grumble, moan, grrr.
What else? Builders have been working all weekend including Sunday and todays bank holiday to get stuff finished for me. That makes them very good people. Apart from the being woken up by them at 8 am every day obviously. This whole thing is looking very tight but just about doable, featuring giving my keys to a letting agent on the way to the airport later this week. What can possibly go wrong?
I’m trying to fit in seeing all you lovely people before I go but that’s very tricky indeed given the timing. How about I just give you all my solicitors telephone number and you phone him up and swear at him for screwing the timing of the remortgage so badly? That’ll make us all feel better. Seriously, if I don’t get to see you, doesn’t mean I don’t care.
I’ll be at the Red Lion in Islington on Wednesday night if anyone wants to pop in and say hello, wave goodbye. Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo… vote over there>>>^
Oh and have a look at the link of my buddy Simon’s similar website up there in the links bit. He’s doing something even more stupid than me.
