Still so tired that I just ache.

I'm so tired. It's been more than a week since the annoying time switch and I think it is still bothering me. My sleep schedule is all off. I've tried not to nap today in hopes of defeating it. This time change always annoys the hell out of me. Just pick a time and stay with it. This switching twice a year is ridiculous. Argh.

Today I learned all more about the NY Times paywall structure. It is a stupid, stupid thing, honestly. It's absurd. The entire article loads, and then an annoying pop up screens it from view. But you can easily see the whole article by pulling up the source. Or you could use four lines of code to defeat it. I think if you spend tens of millions on developing a paywall system, it needs to be a little harder to cheat. Something!

Hilariously, after venting my displeasure on Twitter, I had an email from the NY Times offering me free access for the rest of 2011. I'm pretty sure that's a blanket offer and not a personal response, but the timing couldn't be more funny.

Sometimes I think I should get a Twitter just so I can complain about companies and have them offer me appeasement goodies.

I got that too - I think it was either people who have had a NYT account for a long time or people who were heavy users. Either way, I'll take it.

The time change is kicking my butt harder this year than it ever has before. I think it's because my sleep schedule was already messed up when it came along. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever feel rested again.
