Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
Last week, I dragged you guys into the bowels of my technical support journey with the WordPress Happiness Engineers. Along the way, I offered some hope that the future wouldn’t hold too many of those technical travelogues: "Computers can do those things, easily, but they have to know all the steps in the workflow,...

It’s a special Saturday here at the bar, but we’re still going to play along with Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday challenge. Her prompt for today: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘rib.’ Use it as a word, or find a word with ‘rib’ in it. As always, use any... Continue Reading →
After two longer than normal posts, both dripping with technology, I decided you guys deserve a break. Rather than continuing our tour of Concord, Massachusetts, today I’m just sharing a bunch of doors. I don’t know much about these doors. I see most of them every day, but that’s all I’ve got. Thursday Doors is... Continue Reading →
I had two reasons for spreading my WordPress-issues update across two blog posts. First, the issues seem to overlap, but they really don’t – not seeing the ‘Like’ button has nothing to do with the editor the post was created in – Guttenberg is off the hook for that. Second, my experience dealing with the... Continue Reading →
Remember that old joke? Well, computer technical support is like that, sometimes. This week, I thought I’d try to combine my on-going technology journey (the one inspired by Pam’s Luddite Wannabe post) with an update on the mysterious case of the WordPress “Like” button. Yes, we’re still working on that. One of the chronic problems... Continue Reading →

Today, in keeping with the April A-to-Z thing, she gave us: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘lip.’ Use it as a word, or find a word with ‘lip’in it. As always, use any...

As I was walking around Concord, Massachusetts last month, I did what most Thursday Doors participants do, I took pictures of doors. Every door I noticed. I figured that, as has often been the case, I would be able to fill in the blanks later. I already knew that my favorite source for history and... Continue Reading →
I was conducting research at the bar on Saturday – yes, that’s my story – and I couldn’t help but overhear a man, I am glad I don’t know and with whom I avoided making eye contact or exchanging polite conversation. He was one of those people who seem to feel they were put on... Continue Reading →
This weekend saw repairs, both physical and virtual, being made around here. During two significant storms this winter, high wind removed most of the top course of my new vinyl siding from my newly sided garage. When I purchased the siding, I opted for a type of top-course treatment that didn’t require nails. I wasn’t... Continue Reading →
