Vacating
A meta-note: as of today, I am on my first week-long vacation since my sister-in-law got married in July 2005. We’re taking a trip for a few days, during which I expect that Internet access will be spotty and I’ll … Continue reading →
Remissful blogger is remissful.
I’ve been remiss (!) in noting that MD Jackson of Skylarking has awarded me one of those blogging award things, this one called the “Versatility Award”. This is because I’m a versatile blogger. (I know, it’s just like the title … Continue reading →

Under the hood….
Last week I reported on a problem with Blogger publishing. Now I’ve discovered another glitch: uploading photos stopped working. After some digging through Blogger’s help forums, I found this procedure which worked for me: 1) Go to Settings, Basic, scroll … Continue reading →
Huh….
OK, that was weird. I wrote that last post, but then the “Publish” button in Blogger wouldn’t work. At all. I clicked it a dozen times, and my post just sat there in the Edit Post screen, staring at me. … Continue reading →

Well, that’s good news.
Stolen from Facebook: Also, I had a few posts ready to go yesterday, either in OpenOffice or in my head…but then I was without Internet for the entire day. Ugh! I’m thinking that my next raise at work will go … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Well, that’s good news.
Just checking in….
I took the day off from blogging because hey, it’s Easter. See you tomorrow!
Bloggus Interruptus
Sorry for the silence the last day or two, but connectivity was hard to come by at Casa Jaquandor yesterday, hence the complete radio silence. We’ll just defer Sentential Links for another week, too. Keep the faith! Keep reaching for … Continue reading →
She dances!
Last night I saw a sudden spurt of traffic here, all directed to this post I wrote a few years ago about Star Trek‘s Lieutenant Saavik, an intriguing character who wasn’t handled particularly well back in the 1980s. I wondered … Continue reading →
