my evil computer

computers can be intuitive. my boss indicated to me yesterday that we may be getting new computers. it was as if my linux somehow sensed it and decided to be extra nasty for whatever time it has left to be nasty. its favourite trick is to kill firefox without warning. silently and deadly. somewhat like a commando strike, in fact. and the best time to do it is when i have written a LONG and IMPORTANT mail and am just about to send it. or a blog. that is why i have picked up this strange habit of copying the text every two lines or so. could i BE more paranoid?

its other favourite trick is to make 'open office' a misnomer.. as in, i open 'open office', i write something, i turn away for a moment, i turn back, and it's 'closed office'. as in died without a beep.
