As further evidence that yesterday was my Bad Karma Day, I crashed the LJ update script while posting (note to self: umlauts don't work here). Then I broke it again in a different way, but eventually got it to post my update. So for good measure it did it twice. Of course, it would be easy enough to delete the last entry, if the server admitted it existed in my entry history. Once wrested from the server the entry refused to be deleted by me on the grounds that it wasn't owned by me. So I went to bed, and this morning it works fine.

I guess I should have been suspicious after I crashed a self-checkout register at the supermarket in the afternoon. Actually, I double crashed it, since it crashed again trying to print a crash report. Joy.

My bizarre chaotic effect on electronic systems is not particularly new, given that my biggest problem with my last watch was figuring out how to reboot it after I got it to die spectacularly. Nonetheless, the frequency of annoying errors from yesterday just adds a surreal perfection to it, like the Platonic Ideal of suck.

That's an impressive quantity of bogons you're emitting, there. Stay away from my stuff. :-P
