Beginnings

Exercise 3: Day One of Summer 2.0

After several aborted attempts to create a blog, I finally accomplished this task. I'm using Firefox these days because I just can't get no satisfaction with IE no mo'. Even Firefox proved to be a challenge tonight when Blogger's server refused to recognize my incoming. After resetting the network connection to stxproxy and taking out the numbers and asterisks and other coding in the advanced mode, eureka! success at last! It'd be nice if someone dropped a note to the Blogger folks that their security words are becoming dangerously unreadable.

These types of problems, which we've been experiencing constantly with our networks and other technologies for a long time now, have left me feeling frustrated and frazzled. Ordinarily I'm very good at dealing with technology issues and I usually have unlimited amounts of patience, but facing these obstacles for such a long time now has eroded my calm and left me feeling short instead.

For example, as I type this, I am getting red messages next to the "SAVE NOW" button that Blogger is not connected and attempts to save and publish may fail. What's a poor librarian to do? Retreat to the rainforest and become a luddite? That's the QotD . . .
