i'm vanishing

odd start to a sunday morning.

first, i fire up the mac. there's a big question mark in the dock in place of the eventbox icon. i downloaded eventbos last nite, spent some time setting it up and enjoying it (nice app). anyway, now it's icon is gone and the app itself is not in finder anymore. spotlight can't find it either. i shrug and move on to facebook...

...where i can't enter a photo contest because its group--which i joined last week--won't show up in my groups list, nor does it show me as a member, even tho my only option on its page is to "unjoin." the photo itself (on facebook) only lets me post to my wall. the option to send it to a person or group is gone. oh, and i can't find the group at all using search in the iphone fb app. nor send the group anything, since it's not there, according to the app

huh. well. so i go surfing and decide to join a site. it takes two browsers and several tries, but stubborness finally wins. once joined, i can't log in. because--it turns out--my user name has "@" on the end. um, whatever. i use the field to reset the pass and log in that way, only to find i "lack access" to the user cp to set up a profile. wtf?

fine. it's just a site. i move on to google reader, where i see a neat app for upload/download/mgmt of pix on both facebook and flickr. cool! i join its fb page, i go to the site to download the mac beta. clicking the download link does...nothing. clicking the iphone app: ditto. i fire up the appstore on my phone and search for the app: nada. it has users and a forum on pc world, so it's not vaporware. q quick search shows that maybe the mac beta isn't actually out yet. same for the app? if so, why don't they mention that?

having had a few years of my *life* being like my morning online, i did the shug-move on bit and returned to reader to delete an rss feed that never posts but hogs space in my iphone rss app. can't. not there to delete. whoa, big surprise, eh?
