The internet works in mysterious ways.
Jan. 11th, 2008 01:38 amI give up. This computer hates me. Or it hates the SGA ep 'The Game'.
First it installed updates that were *crucial*, just of life-and-death importance, when I was about three-quarters of the way through saving this ep.
Then the server was reset because of an incoming call- LIAR. Who the hell calls at 1:30 am?! NO ONE. It was a stupid excuse to screw with me.
On my third try, it didn't bother getting creative with the excuses, it goes with the time-honored favorite, you know, 'internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost'. What do you mean IF I was doing something? MIGHT be lost? What a pathetic apology- like there's the possibility that there was no inconvenience because people log onto the internet for no reason other than to leave it running with no purpose at all so when random shut-downs happen, they have nothing to complain about because they were sitting there in the middle of doing *nothing* on the internet other than contributing massively to their carbon footprint.
What I find really amusing is that I logged on *again*, - then just when I'm checking my mail and wondering whether I can cope with another attempt to get this ep, because I'm a glutton for punishment, this lovely pop-up appears...'Link to Bigpond failed. Reconnect pending...' I hadn't even started the d/l yet, I was just thinking about it! And it cursed me anyway. Ugh.
OMFG. I know this is a sign, but what could it possibly mean? [Other than I really need to kick the dren out of this laptop.] Don't bother d/l eps with little Sparky in it? I'm allowed to like an ep even if the Sh/Weir interaction is non-existent, aren't I? I just love the scene where she's pounding some sense into Zelenka and Lorne. *sniffles*
Damn laptop.
