How’s it going, guys? Anyone still out there?
I’m at home today, awaiting a very important package from Fed Ex (there will be a separate post about it when I get it), and supposedly working on a paper for my Historiography class. Except my Macbook Pro battery is borked, so I started backing up files for that in prep for my Genius Bar appointment on Sunday morning and that took longer than I thought it would. But I felt so good about cleaning up stuff on my laptop that I thought, hmm, perhaps I should do the same thing for the blog. So I installed plugin updates and WordPress updates. And that was great, but it didn’t clear up the most annoying thing in the world, one of the reasons I have not blogged in so long because it just annoyed the crap out of me: my WYSIWYG toolbar was missing when I tried to post. You have no idea how annoying that is.
Yeah, turns out the fix was so easy I could kick myself. I went through a big long list of things it could be and looked for the easiest one, because Murphy’s Law is always in effect around me. And yes, it was a variation of that easiest one. I went into my WordPress profile, clicked the “Disable Visual Editor” button, saved it, went right back in and re-enabled it, and damned if my WYSIWYG isn’t back. *facepalm* I should have done that months ago, but didn’t have the patience. My tech fu, it comes and goes in cycles.
My writing lately has been either tweeting or one page critiques or papers, and it shows in this post. It’s like I have no idea how to blog anymore. With the WYSIWYG toolbar back, I’m going to try to fix that. I pay enough for this blog Well, actually, I don’t, my hosting company is really cheap, but I do pay for it, so I should start using it again.
But in the meantime, I should get back to writing this paper about Ben Franklin. So I’m going to do that.
I know the feeling. Sometimes I wonder if I should disengage from Twitter so that I’d be more inclined to blog. And then I wonder if I should ask Twitter if that’s a good idea. *sigh*
You could always ask Remnants.
I get you on the Twitter, though. I feel like I’m connected to all of you all the time with the microblogging, so why real blog? I’m going to try to get better at it though – I need to think in more than 120 character bursts.
You know who to call when you need the tech support. This is about the only place I look for you as I’m not a big twitter (or facebook for that matter) guy. Understand the writing of the papers as I’m doing two case studies right now. Hopefully we’ll see you round more.
I’ve done that before with my toolbar too. So annoying!
You know, if we owned a car that would die in the middle of the effing road, and would only start again if everyone got out, shut the doors, stared at it for 20 seconds, got back in, and then you had to turn the key while cussing the car in order to get it going again, how many of those cars would be littering America’s waterways?
All of them. So why do we put up with it from computers?
Because it’s the only damned game in town, that’s why, right? Argh.
Yayyyy Julie is back luv it !
