Nov. 9th, 2006 05:25 pmTo quote a famous fanzine headline, Bastards! Scum! Bastards!
Amazon has just lost my entire 160-odd item shopping basket/saved-for-later collection, like, between clicking to add Blakes 7 and Naked Video, there it was, gorn. Oh, the dataloss panic!
The moral is: Trust Thou Not In Websites, But Back Up Thy Stuff, and verily, I had done so a couple of weeks ago and I think I can remember what shiny things I've fallen in love with since then. Thank goodness, because otherwise my xmas list would have been totally stuffed. (Yeah, I suppose I could ask for, like, cushions and saucepans and whatever useful things it turns out I don't have. But you need a leavening of books and QI DVDs, si?)
ETA
Last night, 5.18-5.47:
-Do one quick look at Amazon before leaving
-Amazon screws up mightily
-Scream quietly, blog in haste (could you tell by the way the writing becomes more, like, teenage? LOLs.)
-Realise it is now 5.25 and aargh, I'm going to miss my damn train, insult-to-injury or what?
-Healthy Aerobic Exercise
-Catch train by skin of teeth, spend five minutes recovering from Healthiness
Oof, will be glad to move somewhere with more frequent transport.
