Last
1. What was the last TV show you watched?
Coincidentally, the last episode of "Sabrina, the Teenaged Witch." Yes, I'm serious. I've said before that I can only get three broadcast channels in my hovel: UPN, WB, and KQED (public TV). It was the best thing on, and I wasn't really paying attention anyway. But I forgot how totally cute Harvey is. So "aw, shucks" and cuddly.
2. What was the last thing you complained about and what was the problem?
I can't remember exactly, but it was probably Windows again.
3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?
My co-workers, I know, but for what I don't remember. Oops. Guess it doesn't mean much, does it?
4. What was the last thing you threw away?
An embarrassingly old dish of coleslaw. It was about to get up and walk out by itself.
5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?
The Iconfactory.
So I fixed the blog. It was, in a roundabout way, another Windows fuckup. See, sometimes I like to post my entries from home, on my Mac. And I do remember looking at the template on my Mac. And when I did so, I inadvertantly fucked up the template, but I didn't really do it. The simple action of viewing the code changed a < to the text < in part of my Javascript rendering it useless and the rest of the page empty. So, because Blogger doesn't really seem to care about its users since they've been funded by Google, they're not really developing more solid and more compatible interfaces for their little application, and they're relying on their Windows-based interface to do all of the work. Of course, I don't have the full story, but since no one at Blogger or Pyra Labs will return my e-mail, I can only surmise. That's what you get for paying for a service. This seems to follow the trend in declining customer service in anything and everything, except L.L. Bean, but I've said that before, and I'm not in the mood to regurgitate it all here.
