Faccio una lunghissima e piuttosto ben riuscita recensione di Jan Dix e il browser si pianta prima che io possa pubblicarla. Provo a fare quella di Midnight Nation e si pianta ancora prima che io riesca a inserire l’immagine della copertina.

Tutti quelli che stanno aspettando Jan Dix da due settimane possono mettere qui i loro più accorati insulti al proprietario del computer. Ora vado dal parrucchiere a riprendere la ricrescita della ciocca bianca e quando torno, magari, ci riprovo. Ma non garantisco risultati soddisfacenti.

Non c’è niente di più irritante di dover riscrivere una cosa due volte…

    Ti capisco, a volte mi capita la stessa cosa con l’editor dei blog di Libero che è assolutamente odioso… un giorno o l’altro Uncanny X-Men passerà a WordPress… prima o poi… xD

    Quello che dovresti fare è… spostare la guida di Dada. Mamma mia, più la vedo più mi domando come faccia ad avere tanta fortuna, quella piattaforma.
