I totally love John Gruber (albeit in a very manly, platonic sort of way). After waking up to knowing you have a 90+ page API manual from UPS to go through to integrate some simple shipping costs, his Conjectural Transcript between Apple and Universal for the upcoming negotiations for iTunes pricing gunk had me in stitches.

Also, I’ve been working on some new marketing slogans for TextDrive. I’ve been so <gag>pleased</gag> with their service of late, that I thought I could spend some time on this. Pretty sure this is a winner:

TextDrive. We Go Down. A Lot.

The server that my site is on seems to have crashed twice in the past few days, requiring a hard reboot. If that weren’t enough, it would appear that ‘at boot’ cron jobs are a mere tease and fallacy, because I can tell you that mine sure don’t run.

I’m looking forward to getting away from this steaming pile of TextDrive crap as soon as I possibly can (I wonder if my slogging is against the Terms of Service?).
