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.

Thankfully my PC ald laptop have been behaving quite nicely (knock on wood), so at least I have that.

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 Matrix movie downtown, mostly overnight, so this means that it may or may not affect my commute. Heh.

Other than that, it's been quite a nice weekend!
