I just had to share: I have spent a while updating everything I could think of because one of our wireless printers in the office had quit working. I reset and updated everything. Finally, I checked the cables - someone had plugged the USB cable into the ethernet slot. Not surprisingly, that was the problem.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
The company didn't "like" your post. A certain employee of the company liked your post. That employee is probably as frustrated with her employer as you are, and you provided her a means to semi-anonymously express her feelings.

Also, sometimes people "like" something merely as an acknowledgement to let you know that they read it and appreciate you took the time to express your concerns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got some resounding non-help (a cookie cutter email on an unrelated topic) from Zynga, and they sent a follow up asking how their support team had handled the ticket.
Man, writing that response was fun...
I like being vituperative without being profane. Good stretch.

Is anyone else getting a google malware notice on their Dreamwidth friends page? I'm not getting it on any of the other dreamwidth pages, just the reading one!

There's a whole lot of malware going on right now. I can't even get to Google Reader because one of the feeds has been infected.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
GFY yourself has been having problems for a couple of weeks, too.

Yeah, it's GFY that's causing all of the trouble. It had an issue before as well, but I could at least get to my other blogs. At that time, it was one of their side ads/links CeleBuzz that was infected.

Ah, well I have GFY fed to my reading page, so that would explain it...
