Whew!!!! Tha-was a close’un!
Some of y’uns might have seen some glitches happening here on the site, last night. Maybe, maybe not, but I thought for certain I had lost 6 days of posting,,,,
And this one was not a “did it to myself” instance,, only, yeah, I did, sorta-kinda,,,,
When I paid for a domain set up, WP also made my site ‘more compatible’ for the server and switched me over to a ‘plug in’ set up, vs the “Classic Blog” set up I have been running for the last 12+ years. THAT was why I was seeing ghosts flitting around this here back room and fighting with clanks and clunks,,,
I finally broke down and got ahold of the help-desk, and talked to a REAL PERSON (omg!) and they ‘took over’ on the Exorcism after we had talked about what was needed done. And they had to roll EVERYTHING back 6 days to do it.
Luckily, I didn’t lose a damned thing, except the last audio file, and I had that on back up here in the MAC so re-loading it was ‘easy peasy’. Fixed one widget that was wiped (no idea why since it was older than 6 days ) and I may yet find other issues that need fixed.
BUT!
Because I am back into the territory I KNOW, not that whackadoodle plug in crap,,,
I can breathe easier now.
More laters,,, Just wanted to give ya an update on what the crazy was about last night,,,

NO, it really isn’t ready for prime-time, but I’m frustrated with the day,,,, my own doing,,, tackling a ‘cast with NO script/mindmap,,, Did it to me-self, I did.
What follows is what ya get for all my efforts (and kitteh-klaw marks on my thigh: another reason I couldn’t keep my head in effort. Thanks Mama!)
This one was recorded straight to the Mac, using my new hardware, and all of it completed without need of changing ‘venue’; No bouncing between phone and computer. The transcript was done by MacWhisper and came out a lot better than the other transcription mode I was using. (and I am leaving it unedited at this stage, its damned close,,, though punctuation, run-ons,,, if you read and listen, it’ll make sense.). Getting my stuff lined up right, now, just gotta get my head on straight, with maps, directions, and GOALS for the point.
Enjoy (let me know if you like ‘the new sound’)
Special Edition add-on
This one is for Mike in FLA,,, Since the bugger can’t hear me when I tell him, NO about giving donations,,, I figured I had better come up with a little sumpin’ for the Mad Bugger.
Special edition podcast, no politics, absolutely NO politics in this’un.
The Sonday post,,,
I want to clarify a little something to y’all. Please don’t take my asking for money as a desperation thing. If I didn’t have the room to manuever, I wouldn’t have made the purchases I have recently, Yes, some of those are on credcards, but that was a logical move on my part: pay slow, spread the damage out.
I am asking for tips and donations, not out of desperation, but one of,,,
TechySatyrday
I sorta recall why I quit chasing computer chips around,,, I don’t enjoy the game of ‘keeping up’ when it comes to what the machines can do. And I have never liked that as things move forward, much of what I did enjoy, no longer works.
Like Mechwarrior,,, The ONLY game I was fanatic about. Worked great up through XP and Vista, doesn’t work on any of the upgraded machines now.
Have you tried making a machine run Vista lately? Big reason why I gave up on WIndoze,,,,
