Technical Problems Are No Fun
This is more a little rant about problems I had yesterday than what’s going on today, but I don’t know if anything has really been resolved, especially with my biggest issue: My keyboard keeps randomly freezing. The problem doesn’t seem to be tied to any specific program I’m running, and the more I research it, the more it seems to be an issue with Leopard, which I installed last week. I’m hoping for a fix soon because it’s really quite a pain to have the whole keyboard freeze up and not know when it’ll return. At least the touch pad still works when the keyboard is out.
I was also having some issues with Google Reader yesterday. I was trying to clean up some feeds I don’t need anymore, but it kept giving me errors midway through the cleanup process. I was so annoyed, I even downloaded a different feed reader, Sage, but found it lacked some of the GR functions I really like. So today it was back to GR and thankfully my cleanup worked. Back to business as usual, though even with my big cleanup I still have 1000+ unread items. Thank goodness for the “mark all as read” button.
And on top of all this, I also had some Twitter issues. I made a few posts that just never showed up. My internet was working just fine, so I don’t know what the problem was. Seems to be fine today, though.

Hi Francine -
Is Mercury in retrograde or something? I’ve been having tech problems this week too. Congrats on your ex-pat status. I hear my ex-pat friends in Russia live on Facebook. So, couldn’t remember if you were there too. Stay in touch.

For the keyboard issue, which is still happening intermittently, I’m emailing Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/
Other people on the forum I linked to say they’re emailing as well.
