This is the New. If I were a phone junkie, it could be called my new precious… Don’t get me wrong I do love it, but I think the iPod is still the clear winner in those stakes…
That being said, this little baby can take pictures big enough to print which is way better than the postage stamps that came out of the last one… I can plug it into my computer (which makes it Veeeery cool) and I can sync it with my Outlook folders and transfer mp3s onto the memory card (!). Yep, this is Premium product…
And it’s very pretty.
Problem is, it has real live ringtones… right now it’s set to the best of a bad lot… Bach. Which is lovely.
So lovely I forget that it’s actually a ring tone…
Missed Calls?
Only 1 today…
Just as well I’m NOT a phone junkie…
The Other Thing Bored Geeks Do
Upgrade their MT Installation… Sheesh… always after the bigger better thing right??? It’s the bloggers equivalent of keeping up with the Joneses
Now… apparently it’s easy as… and if it worked 1st time it would be…
And if you didn’t do stupid things like copy your settings out of excel into notepad picking up dodgy bits of code with it you might be able to get it to work 1st time…
Having said that – I’m pretty happy with myself… I’ve managed to do it successsfully and the new back end looks lovely…
Wish my back end was a bit lovelier…
*wistful smile*
Guess you can’t have it all
Dead Lines
I gave someone a piece of my mind today… Not something in my usual repertoire of behaviour…
I felt it was warranted…
The story is this. I am a web administrator which is short for “wicked genius with code and stuff”, or if you prefer, Web Princess … (Web Mistress is soooo S&M). As such, I am called upon not only to update the site for which I am responsible, but also to create new subsites or sections of the site for different departments.
Or, in this case, for any one of the Big Things that we may be doing. This Bigger than Ben Hur Big Thing has warranted it’s own site and as is customary the dept ordering said site was advised of the 2 weeks of lead time required. This means, provide me the content now and I will use those two weeks to make you a beeyoootiful site.
Yeah Right… who listens to the Web Princess?
And so, lead time ignored, there have been empty spaces for content all over the site and 2 DAYS before the deadline the whole menu tree was changed and presented to me to complete… Bloody Hell it’s the 1st of September today .. The Boss has been telling everyone to check out the site today!!
VERY UNHAPPY Web Princess.
6.15pm I am going on holiday TOMORROW and instead of proofing and link checking I am still putting content in. You get the picture right? Panic. And here’s me needing desperately to head to the mall to get the last few things required for the Hawaiian Odyssey…
Temperature Rising…
For 2 days, aware that this deadline was going to catch up with me, I have been touchy and very cranky at Embroiderer who is responsible for supplying me with the stuff.
She was late.
Later than a Late Thing.
MELTDOWN
It isn’t all her fault and she has worn the crankiness reasonably well and after my very direct discourse (read RANT) on how the lateness affects me, how unprofessional it is, and how unfair to have such ridiculous expectations, she has a much clearer idea of how the site is put together and how slow it can be. And how reliant I am on her to make it all work!
I felt a lot better having delivered that piece of my mind… But of course, tomorrow we have to send the e-card to our massive database to let everyone know the information is now available online…
That should only take 2 business days…
Oh yeah.. the DeadLine is 4pm.
Game On and On
Today was another sick day. I am not dying and as I have a massive meeting at the office tomorrow I will be back on deck in the morning. Probably coughing up a lung as I go…
To keep me occupied today I watched the remainder of LOTR and loved it… Actually I was surprised at how emotionally involved I got with the characters.
Scary. When it finished I felt all sad, like you do when you have been involved in a collective project that ends, like friends were leaving, like someone I read everyday had finished blogging…
Anyway, because if I spent the whole day being depressed about LOTR being over I would have been a sad case indeed I went looking for games on the web.
I found some.
Actually I had played the Crimson and Viridian Rooms before but the Haplands and the Doors are done and game over now… and not easily figured out without a little external help. But fun all the same…
Now there’s rubbish on telly for the evening.
Sigh…
Best find some more things to play.
