Offline (my computer is busted and hirap to use my ipod)

could this be because of the mercury retrograde thingy?

update:

prior to this, my 2-month old training watch conked out on me for no apparent reason.  good thing is, it's still under warranty.  i had my housemate bring it back to the store as he is currently in manila and have it checked.  hopefully i won't be needing to pay extra or something like that.
