Recent Excuses Not to Blog
媒体来源: 中国法律博客

Several days since posting. See if you can figure out why:

 
1. Weather too hot
2. Office too cold
3. Too much work
4. Too much pollution/too little oxygen
5. Bricked PC
6. Boring news
7. Olympics fatigue
8. All energy devoted to office politics
9. Ridiculously slow Net speed at home
10. My mind ain't right.

Give up? A combination of #5 and #9. My PC at work did indeed give up the ghost last week, and the hard drive has not given up its secrets yet. As usual, my work-related files are backed up nicely, but all my personal files have been lost. Moreover, my bookmarks and settings are back at square one, Firefox and plug-ins are absent, a lot of software needs to be reinstalled — you get the idea.

And why can't I just blog from home? Ask my service provider, whose "broadband" connection is a shared line that seemingly connects 50,000 file sharers who never sleep.

OK, enough bitching. I've obviously got things back up and running.
