Twice this week, I’ve been bitten by software I count on. \u00a0It’s painful, especially for someone like me who relies on his computer.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
One is really my fault. \u00a0I mean I shouldn’t have gotten so dependent on Alpha-level software. \u00a0I signed up for the OmniFocus test program and I’ve been downloading the daily updates to this GTD software — a very fancy to-do list. \u00a0All was going smoothly when something hiccuped and it crashed, permanently. \u00a0I lost my action lists and I can’t seem to recover, or even wipe it clean and do it all over again. \u00a0Oh, I trust the Omni people. \u00a0I’ve used almost all of their software and OmniOutliner is a critical part of my writing process, but at the moment, I’m stuck.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The other problem software was the just-released update to iWeb from Apple. \u00a0I bought it at the store yesterday and tried out a few of the updated features. \u00a0All was going well, and then suddenly, something glitched and all my photos vanished out of the file. \u00a0I’ve been working to repair it, pulling the photos off of the published website, but something is still glitchy, and I have this creeping fear I might have to rebuild the site from scratch. \u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If I weren’t heading off to Armadillocon in just a couple of hours, I’d be at this recovery process all night long. \u00a0I guess I’m lucky it’s more important to go meet friends than grumble over the keyboard.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
