I spent a lot of time today trying to resolve techie issues with computer equipment or services…nothing resolved.
UGH.

Somebody showed me how to do some animation in PowerPoint today. I've never done animation in PowerPoint, but I have done it in Keynote. Here's an example (only it doesn't look the greatest on YouTube): This is part of a bigger project that I haven't had time to finish. It plays too fast on YouTube, but [...] The puppet-finger monster in the above image represents my annoyance at USB devices that don't come with covers! Hello! Metal scratches things! And, the plugs are not protected from dust without lids. Why can't they provide covers?!?!?! It can't cost that much more to make a cover/lid! Why does one end of the cable have cover, [...] Missy is a fan of Pride and Prejudice Facebook style. Well worth the reading. A few of my favorite lines from the above link: Elizabeth Bennet and Caroline Bingley are attending the event Take a Turn about the Room. Fitzwilliam Darcy is proposing to Elizabeth Bennet. It is not going well. :-/ Mrs. Bennet KNEW that single men with good fortunes would want wives. It's all [...] Those of you that know me know that I've been "tottering on the brink" (to borrow from the 1940 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice) of sanity for some time. Today I went over the brink…I signed up for Twitter and Facebook. I suspect I'll fade on Twitter fairly quickly, but until then you can check my [...] More and more applications are being added to the iTunes App Store each day. I’ve read that there are over 800 applications available now, but I haven’t counted them. I’ve downloaded nine of those 800…one of the heavy hitters I’m sure. Here’s a list and a review of what I’ve downloaded: AIM: This is for [...] Apple, the U.S. computer, iPod, and iPhone manufacturer, has the wrong food name today. Egg, as in on their face, would be a better food-appropriate name. Apple attempted several upgrades and new product releases today: none of them have gone smoothly well. MobileMe is a day late, is crashing, and, when up, is not working well. [...] I decided to rant about all the irritating things of my recent past. I recommend all readers skip this post. It’s mainly here for posterity for me to re-read in the future for stupid reasons. I think everyone else should simply pretend it isn’t here. I could spend more time on the post and make [...] Since I have a new a few months old Mac toy laptop, I’ve been learning how to use the software that came on it. Right now I’m focusing on the iLife ‘08 software suite, which includes iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, and iDVD. An Apple Trainer was introducing me to GarageBand and decided it hadn’t installed [...] During the Oscars, Jon Stewart poked fun at people watching movies on their iPhones. And, yes, there is something funny about somebody watching the chariot race in Ben Hur on such a tiny screen. (I think that’s the example he used, if not, he should have.) Here’s a link to a YouTube "movie" of director [...] |
