Today is Boomtime, day 18 in the season of Bureaucracy, 3269.
Wow, I've just been totally fscked on this Fireworks order. First I paid $150 more than I needed to by not checking Macromedia's site before ordering from warehouse.com (returns were subject to 30% restocking and I had to eat the shipping both ways, so I just left it alone), and now I find that if I'd bought it just two weeks after I did, I'd be eligible for a free upgrade to Fireworks MX 2004 when it's released. Instead, now I get to shell out $150 if I want to upgrade. On the other hand, I'm not seeing too much immediately that makes me want to upgrade Fireworks; I'd jump at it if they improved their craptastic pop-up menu code which tacks 35kb-plus and a significant rendering delay on to every page that uses those menus, but I don't see that in the new features list. Dreamweaver MX 2004, on the other hand, might be almost worth it.
In other news, the print queue is totally wedged, there's a paper jam in the alternate printer, my personal work address (which I'm careful to keep off the web) has been forged as a return address by someone's infected machine, and I generally feel like I've been beaten with a large stick. </whinge>
