The Morning After The Nite Before…
Well what did I accomplish today: figured out (finally – thank you God) how to add classmate blog info. to that of my roll. Thomas and Glen directed me with/in this endeavor. I had to contact Thomas via the “landline” – I know I’m an Anti-Christ (3 hail Mary’s and 1 garlic glove should do) and Glen kinda gives you hints (Discovery Learning on the ICT channel) and you are to go from there. So here I am: still going – like an Energizer Bunny caught in the rain. I am still not done: What I’m trying to do is add an address (with descriptors) and then go to the website and comment on each and every blog contained there within before moving on. By the time you get down to the “Hello World” blog, you are pretty much in “Yup” mode.
I was also able to upload an avatar of my son: had to do some security unlocking in order to get the picture to view and for cropping purposes. At 1st when I uploaded the picture, it would view on the 1st page, and then after cropping… show up blank and black – similar to that of a White House news release: you know more before than you do after.
Next… I uploaded my football pool address and site information just to keep track of how I am doing (I’m near on last) while I’m hard at work here… Yeah! Right!
Lastly, I went to my widget section and was actually able to drag and drop a widget into the box above. The widget was that of the “Flicker Photos”. Well by this time I was feeling fairly full of myself, and then (foreshadow)… I arrived back to my weblog site to find my “Flicker Photos” alive (and all a flicker) but with that of my blog address/access information gone! WHAT? If by chance you thought you heard some cursing and a cussing, you did, it was I, I will have to eat some soap (not Irish Spring, I hear that makes it worse) as penance. What was I to do? Invoke Plan “G” young man: call the G-Men. So I did. I “G”-mailed “G”len and he prompted me to ask my classmates as to how to undo that which I had done? “To See or Not To See”? that is the question fellow citizens of the Roman Republic. In between time, I went back to the widget smidget section and drug the flicker photos back into Pandora’s Box wench they came.
All in all it was a good day…
PS: The Bombers are killing me… “Why have though forsaken me Blue?”

I was working away on my wiki not feeling to impressed with anything. Then low and behold my bloglines told me that someone had done something on their blog. I quickly clicked on the feed and came to your blog. I then spent the next minute doubled over with laughter. Your style of writing is wonderful. You seem to have a way to express the frustrations we encounter with technology with laughter….I really appreciate it. Cheers!

Dana, Dana, Dana you have quite a way with words!! I love reading your emails and blogs as they always give me a smile….you are very creative. You make all of your errors sound so poetic. Unfortunately, my errors and cusses are far from poetic and I share in your frustrations with all of this technology. As I told Jolene, we need to get together to practise some cooperative learning. I am game if you are all game.
