Arrrrgghhh! I wrote out a post here about how annoyed I am about something but lost everything I just wrote - I’m even more annoyed than before now!!!! Dang it.
I built an app that closes distractive web tabs like this if I’m on them for too long. I hate myself.

Ouch!
No good deed (or intention) goes unpunished!

I have done clever things that have come back to bite me.... Background, I am a bit of a mixture of old-skool geek, state of art new media and luddite (depending on what I feel like). Non geeks get ready to laugh...... I read email using a variety of programs - sometime a terminal based program called mutt. sometimes with a more "Modern" client. Someone sent me a reply to an email which appeared in mutt as " ". I read this as "What the H**ck are you on about Random". SOe I explained. On closer examination the ?? was an emoticon - my friend was AGREEING with me and saw exactly what I meant. The point was very subtle. There is another one that was more annoying but it is too complex to explain (anytone know about fermat's last theorem!)
