So after being up until 4 AM on Friday and Saturday, today I woke up at 5:30 AM and couldn't get back to sleep.

This seems hardly fair.

The Toshiba DVR/DVD writer combo unit that I own last night corrupted its disk while I was deleting programs, with the result that it lost everything that was recorded on it. How nice.

At least VCRs could only eat one tape at a time.

The spam filter on my Speakeasy shell account's e-mail is broken and has been for some time. No matter what I do on the web interface to try to turn on the spam filtering, nothing changes. I mean, I press the button to enable the spam filter and the screen replots and shows that the filter still isn't enabled and nothing goes to the spam bucket.

Now, it's not that I actually use that account, but it would be good if the spam went to the spam bucket in case I ever get a real message there. So I filed a service request.

The tech working on the problem deleted my shell account with all the saved e-mail and replaced it with a brand-new useless shell account of a different name.

I have a new tech now who is getting operations to restore my account from a backup. At least I didn't save any mail today.

*sigh*

I have completed the very rough mix for [livejournal.com profile] catalana's album. This will be primarily useful for telling us what still needs to be done. And it's a long drive to Worldcon...

Speaking of which, we've dropped all but the front seats in the minivan and have loaded 17 boxes of ISFiC Press books to take to the con with us. This should be -- I hope -- the last time that we're able to pull that trick off. (Because I hope to have a young passenger in the future.)
