This post is in lamentation of its recently deceased older brother post - the tyranny of telephones. A victim of a bizarre tragedy involving a Blogger server error and a composer (me) foolishly relying solely on the Blogger web interface to compose.

Tyranny was an unassuming post, relatively lacking in content given its considerable size, but dammit - it was my post! I put a lot of effort into its composition, venting various frustrations and espousing frequent witticisms. Yet not 20 minutes ago I watched in agony as my 'Publish Post' request was answered by Blogger's servers with an curt and somewhat flippant 'Internal Server Error' response. I can still feel my stomach sink as the back button yielded nought but a starkly bare composition form, the content of my aborted post forgotten by the overly tricky web magickery that is Blogger.

So here's to the tyranny of telephones... and the thousands of senselessly inaccessible articles floating in the ether just beyond the internet. Good night sweet tyranny... and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
