The Challenge Rambles and riff raff about all this and that

The IT revolution

Sorry, this is not a post on breaking technology, new applications, interesting developments or stuff like that.

This is an "AAARG!" sort of message.

In the past week I had my Linux's desktop power source blowing up (and taking the stabilizer with it!), a router strangely going "poof" (and required firmware hacking to restore), Google not accessible from just one of my computers, and the big-brother stuff on my Corporative computer doing all sorts of funny things.

On a very sci-fi sort of way technology turns against its creators. I feel like I live inside a terminator sequel.

That crazy idea of living on a cave and becoming a hermit starts to sound so tempting.
