Tech 3, Alan 0
Last week was bad for technology. My laptop went belly up and moments later my workstation's hard drive failed. I went to take a photo of the carnage and my camera informed me it needed a visit to the manufacturer's emergency room for a firmware transplant. Considering that I telecommute, I should be bothered by how little the two computer failures bothered me. Computers fail, as surely as the proverbial death and taxes. When a workstation fails, I swap in a replacement and keep going without much remorse. My camera though... to pack it up and send it off was like hacking off a limb and shipping it away.
It'll be at least three weeks until I get that body part back. In the meanwhile, posts may be heavy on text and light on the eye candy.

Ahhh... the loss of a beloved. Heheh... I hear you on the camera thing. Heck, I don't know how I'd handle without the digital. It's almost like a love/hate relationship!
I just received word from the camera company that there is a disagreement over who should be paying for the work on the camera. Let's hope I don't have to use the long arm of the law to slap them around. Either way, it can only mean delays. Grr.
