Well there you go, the lesson is use those mouse buttons!
But then again, I’m afraid of a whole lot of the keyboard things, because I don’t actually know what half, no 3/4 of them are supposed to [do]…as long as I can open the webpage and see what I need, I’m more than happy….
I think you’re wise, Cathy. When you go around clicking things, there’s no telling what messes you’ll get yourself into! You have better things to do with your time.
I was planning to stay away from playing with WordPress after coming back from seeing Kaitlin, Torben and the pups. Getting hacked got me involved again. It would probably be good enough to leave things as they are now, but I’m looking into a few things that should make the site more robust. And I’m not doing it just for safety— I’m curious to see how things work.
My first reaction when I faced the “Activate Adobe Flash” problem was, “Oh no. Couldn’t you even let me celebrate my clean site for a bit before throwing something else at me?” But I’m guessing whenever people get involved in a complicated project — it doesn’t have to be technical — there are times that they wish it were easier. That doesn’t mean the project isn’t worth the effort they have to put into it. What do you think?

So be curious.
What new adventures is your curiosity leading you to?
I ask Tom a LOT of questions. He says not to analyze everything. I’m curious. I want to understand how things happen.
That’s the great thing about the internet. We can pose questions and learn a lot by looking for the answers.
A lot only Tom can answer tho’ I do use the internet all the time.
Some new relationships, some new knowledge of geography and potential to use the knowledge and most important, the confidence that I can drive long distances and enjoy a kind of freedom that I have not had for the last fifteen years.
Good for you! I hope you still have time to tell us about it.
I enjoy looking at screens that arrive when I type in letters in my search bar, or click on buttons that say “okay” and so on. Much of what needs to done for academia is through databases, e-journals/books and various other options. Then there is the bricks and mortar library catalogues that reveal numbers and places to look for so much more.
I know how to use the mouse R & L to save items either to my Uni documents or onto the faithful memory stick. I even know how access my Uni documents on the home-drive if I should wish to do that…
Just this afternoon, after I went to an interesting talk at Uni; then came home and found an on-line audio presentation by the same speaker – so whilst I looked at mail, I listened to it in the background…
all without getting tangled up with the keyboard buttons and things 🙂
We are all individuals 🙂
