Bad, bad day.

Earlier today when I went online, all I wanted to do was upload my nice new article to School Survival, and then have a relaxing evening. What happened? First the whole damn server dies, hard disk failure. So I wait for them to restore all the files, so that I can upload my article. When that finally happens a few hours later, I notice all these weird things not working, so I re-upload a crapload of files, thinking some of them must be corrupted or damaged. When that fails to fix the problem, I finally realise they changed a setting in PHP's config (or rather, the new version of PHP has it that way by default, and they did reinstall everything on the new hard disk, after all). So I have to go and figure out how to make my site work with that damned setting (something I should have done long ago already, but whatever...). So while I'm doing that, it gets closer and closer to 7AM, which is the time when we have to disconnect from the internet (gets a lot more expensive after that). So around 6:30 I was testing some changes, and then, POOF, THE POWER GOES OFF! It stays off for about 5 minutes, but no use reconnecting the internet just for a lousy 30 minutes of internet time, in which I probably won't manage to fix the problem anyway. So yeah, I go on IRC with my cellphone, just so that I can yell at someone about my bad luck. Guess what? I'm busy typing a nice sentence containing many four-letter words, and then MY BATTERY DIES! Wonderful finale, isn't it?

But wait, that's not all! I fixed the site problems, uploaded the changes, only to find that the forum script (which I did not write) was also affected! Now I have to first figure out how the hell that works before I can even start fixing it!!!! AAAAARGH!!!

At least the article works now....
