    <content type="html">So apparently February is UI Fail Month, because I've been encountering system and software crashes all around me lately. Granted, the Day Job crashes recently were due to a classic system test that...didn't go so well...and we've been cleaning up the pieces since. I've been trying to buy symphony tickets since yesterday and the site's refusing to accept a gift certificate number. I tried to order a FasTrak doowacky online and the site kept erroring out (but not telling me *where* it happened), so I said hell with it and bought one at Walgreens. I bought a USB plug for my mp3 player that *should* let me play tunes through the speakers (I mean, it's your generic line-in audio connection, right?), but it refuses to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thankfully my PC ald laptop have been behaving quite nicely (knock on wood), so at least I have that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, It's been clear but ridiculously windy today! Apparently a window pane popped out of the Millennium Tower downtown (that being the slowly-sinking slightly-askew building that's been having issues since before it opened), and I wouldn't be surprised if there have been wires and trees down in and around the city. Very weird weather indeed. Oh! And they're filming the fourth &lt;em&gt;Matrix&lt;/em&gt; movie downtown, mostly overnight, so this means that it may or may not affect my commute. Heh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, it's been quite a nice weekend!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=972673" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
