complaints

Because the calendar/event system thinks that seven days after a Tuesday is a Monday, I'm simply scrapping the event system on the site before I get any angrier. I'm already feeling a whole lot of RAAAAGE!!!! right now at it, and I'm seriously considering just trashing Drupal and creating myself a new site from scratch. At least that would work right.

Tomorrow morning, I think I'm going to delete all my events on the site, and start over from scratch. It seems that the Event Repeat module for Drupal enjoys completely messing up my event nodes every time I make any kind of change that should be propagated through a series of repeated events, and not only in the nodes in the series being changed. Oh no — if it doesn't screw up other event nodes as well, it's a waste of effort or something. It really pisses me off.

'Nuff said, but you'd probably like to know why I say this in my curmudgeonly fashion. First of all, a disclaimer: Text editors with highlight support do not an IDE make, even if they give you a task pane of files. Second, I'm writing this from a Windows perspective; any PHP IDEs that don't run on Windows are useless to me.

Although I'm hearing about it a bit late, I just read on Michael Geist's blog that Rogers is intercepting bad DNS hits so to earn more ad revenue and pretty much break your internet.

Am I the only person who has found that Firefox 3 won't keep you logged into various sites between sessions, whereas Firefox 2 would? Between this and the fact that some of my favourite add-ons won't work with the newer version, I'm considering switching back to the older version of everyone's favourite open source browser. I'd rather not, as some of the changes in Firefox 3 are real improvements, that I have found quite useful.

Perhaps the problem will be fixed in 3.1, which I hear is coming out in a month or two. I hope it will be.

Twitter is overloaded, Facebook keeps logging me out for site maintenance, and the Pickering Public Library's wireless internet service isn't working the way it is supposed to. I'll be lucky if this article even shows up.

I didn't even get to wrestle the bear that wandered into my neighbourhood this morning.

I've had more than my fair share of USB key drives over the years. Unfortunately, because of the way the downtown computer stores do things, they only seem to have drives with both the qualities of useful size (1+ GB) and decent manufacture about one third of the time. So the last time I had to replace a (stolen) key drive, I was stuck with one from Dane-Elec.

Or at least some of them are. Unfortunately I've had to put Drupal's download method to public as well as change some other things around to do it. So, now I can't keep track of downloads until I figure out just what is broken this time with Drupal. I swear, if I had the option to switch to a self-built ASP.NET site, I'd do it in half a second. Drupal is really becoming too much of a pain for me.

Earlier in the month, while wheedling about providing feedback, I mentioned that I would be more or less getting Office 2007 in the mail. Well, unfortunately Microsoft decided to use CanPar as the delivery service, and CanPar screwed me.
