I'm being punished for something I've done. That's the only explanation. Yesterday I tried unsuccessfully all day to post to my blog, but Blogger kept kicking back java errors (then, late last night, the post magically went through on their own). Today, my mail server is apparently borked, such that my outgoing mail is taking freakin' forever to go through (but my incoming works fine, as the glut of spam will attest). I'm so damned addicted to electronic communication, of course, that both of these aren't just minor inconveniences, but are more along the lines of Biblical plagues. Yeesh!
