One day the proverbial straw will come along and I will do something violent to my computer.
I have this wonderful writing program called Writeroom. I have mentioned it elsewhere, and I turned to it today to help me focus on writing a lecture. I turned it on and was told there was an update.
`Ok', I thought. `An update from the nice people who made the nice program; I am sure that is a good idea. They area always improving and patching and generally working very hard to make my life easier. It is very kind of them.'
And so I clicked it through.
The update ran, and Writeroom told me it had to restart for it to take effect. I clicked `restart'. It turned itself off.
And stayed off.
`This is not normal behaviour', I thought. But sometimes technology is temperamental. I know that. So I decided to help things along, and clicked on the icon in the dock.
