I make no apology

29 January 2010

ome or all of these blogs are pre-recorded for viewing in your time zone.

Do you Americans (of a more chronically advanced state) remember when TV networks used to use similar words on their broadcasts? (Replacing "these blogs" with "today's programs") And also, remember when it was common practice for the networks to put the words "via satellite" on the screen when a broadcast was thus?

Yeah, now some of you know how old I might actually be.

Don't know why I'm in such a nostalgic mood today; but I do know why I brought up the pre-recorded concept. THAT's because I might need to pre-record a few blog entries. Occasionally I just need to pull back. We all do. Helps recharge the batteries, so to speak. So, if in the next few weeks I miss a day here and there, I make no apology for recharging my 9 volt batteries (or are they size "D"?). As a help, I might indeed write a few posts in advance and just release them as needed.

In other news, I do realize that this hunky college-type kid probably wouldn't win any bodybuilding contests, but again, I make no apology for posting his picture on this muscle-oriented site. He is hunky (the "thick neck" element I love so much), virile and gorgeous; and I want to kiss him for an hour, and then put him to bed.

In even other-er news, I did a supposed "upgrade" of the software I use to produce this site; and wouldn't you know, the upgrade was actually a downgrade in disguise. Happens all too often, doesn't it. Lemme give you an example of the pain I now have to endure. Take today's pic: When you click on the word "hunky" in the above paragraph, you'll be led to a larger (and more magnificent) picture of this college dude. But as it appears in this post, it is precisely 350 pixels wide (as are all of the pix I post-- makes the site look consistent and neat, IMHO). Well, in the older (read: better) version of my software all I had to do to make the pic be 350 pixels wide was to type "350" into the width parameters and then the proportion of width to height was automatically maintained (if I checked the right box).

NOW, however, with this new (read: ickier) upgrade, it won't automatically maintain the correct proportions. There is no "Maintain Proportions" checkbox. I have to actually get out my slide ruler (or calculator, or take my shoes off) and figure out what the ratio of the original picture is to 350, and then I have to translate that ratio to the height-- manually!

Oh the things we fantastic webmasters have to deal wif.*

I feel your blog pain. Blogger just did a nasty "upgrade" that totally sucks. Speaking of sucking, hot dude. Holding Tab? I didn't even know that was for sale anymore.
