There are days...
... when Blogger is just all fucked to hell and back. After I spent so much time a few weeks ago getting things looking the way I like them, I decided to make a tweak today to a font. As far as I can tell it's all messed up again - meaning what shows up in their preview screen is not what you get to read here. I'll have to leave it for the time being because I'm just not in the mood to fuss when fussing likely won't work anyway. At least you can read it.
I have been tangling some large 8 1/2x11" pieces, and I actually have one that I like! But I haven't taken it to the other room to scan it into the other computer and send it to my laptop yet. I think that's what I have to do. I probably have to put it into some sort of program so I can resize the huge image as well. And then I have to save my tweaked image into my pictures folder so I can add it from there. Does that all sound about right to you computer savvy folks? Jan? Sherri? (is she still out of commission?) Anyone?
Remember, I'm on Linus OS now, and I am not in love with it - because I have not been given a tutorial on it. DH seems to think that his somewhat cognitively impaired wife whose memory is like a sieve and who dislikes all things computer should be able to figure it out on her own. Bastard. Eventually when I do get him to assist with something, he finds that there is an 'advanced' glitch in my way which needs his expertise to fix. Oh, bah.
I have been trying to download Fall of Giants by Ken Follett and to download books from the library, (I may have already told you this) I first need to boot into Windows, then convert the file using a video converter program DH found [and which takes a looooongg time to do], and then reboot into Linux to listen to my books while I either crochet, tangle, or play MahJongg or Solitaire or some other simple computer game. Sometimes this girl can multitask!
Well, I have tried this twice with Fall of Giants and it hasn't yet copied the entire book! Aargh!! So I am reading A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks instead of reading the tome I was only half through before the digital library unceremoniously snatched it back from me. Zoomdoggies has referred to this rude behavior on the part of libraries, yet finds it fortunate that when she re-reads the book it's nice not to remember all that happens next. Well, I agree with her that there is something to that, but I'd like to have something more to show for listening to many hours of a very thick book, 'ya know?
Alright, I'm off to doing something else sedentary.
Good Night, TTYL, and Be Well,
