There are times when I hate technology.

So far today:

• My development environment at work crashed about twelve times today while I was trying to get work done.


• My PDA mysteriously rebooted for the second time in five days. I lost all the Polaris programming meeting dates I'd entered at Sunday's meeting. (I think that's all I'd entered since the last time I'd synced it.)


• There is no number three, but the first time I wrote this a mysterious stray list item tag found its way into the HTML and left an empty bullet, so I edited it to add this, which is equally annoying. And then I forgot to close the tag. *argh*


• LJ has crashed my browser twice in the past five minutes, both times when I clicked on "post" in order to start this entry.

Can't we just start over with abacuses again and try to make technology that works? *headdesk*

Oh, and I got a weird comment today on the post I made on October 31:

The Toronto Crime Stoppers School Police Officer just viewed your LJ in front of a group of students at a school at an Internet Safety presentation... We are concerned about your privacy... For more information call the school police officer at Crime Stoppers 222 TIPS

Has anyone else gotten anything like this recently? I have to wonder what the police are doing looking at my LJ... particularly a post about Fred Phelps being successfully sued. That wasn't even my most recent post, so it's not as though they just decided to leave a comment - they must have specifically chosen that one. I don't know if I ought to be worried or not - I don't think I've ever posted anything that crossed some murky legal line I wasn't aware of. I know the Crime Stoppers phone number is legitimate - should I call it and find out what they're on about?

Oh, and for those who hadn't heard: Bruce Greenwood has been cast in Star Trek XI, as Captain Christopher Pike. Thanks go to kairi_kiss for bringing this news to my attention.
