switching

Well, Flickr is now going to require a Yahoo! ID to log into my Flickr account as of March 15th. Rather than wait until the last minute I decided to do it now... here's hoping it will be less painful the the Blogger/Google switch over. I am getting fucking tired of companies buying each other and insisting you switch to the "new and improved" versions that usually end up sucking. Flickr is one of the coolest sites out there and I would hate to get pissed off at it.

Now if only Blogger would support Safari so I could blog from bed on my laptop, though I haven't checked on that lately... which reminds me... switching to the Mac hasn't been painless either. Blast all this new technology! Not that I'm complainin' about my pretty laptop... don't get me wrong. It is getting easier the more I use it. I even loaded some music onto the iPod Nano that came with the thing... of course it also helps that I finally took THAT out of the box.


I love technology, really I do. I just wish all the cool shit came out 10 years earlier so I wouldn't be playing catch up now. Of course, there was some stuff out there... I just couldn't afford it then. Hell, I can barely afford it now.

ANNOYED

I have almost had it with the new Blogger and it's so called new features. Tonights new problem is that I can't post any pictures... Well, it's a free service so what do I expect? Well, I may have to switch over to Livejournal or something... I'm alomt THAT fed up.

If you haven't switched over to the new Blogger yet, DON'T. It SUCKS.

No Comment

The comments problem continues... it seems to be only on this blog too... I seem to recall having a problem with the comments on this template when I first put it up... I wonder if it has reverted back to a previous incarnation of some sort? Whatever it is it is really fucking frustrating.

I do not really want to have to change my blog just yet... though I have been thinking about it for some weeks. I especially do not want to change it just to have this same problem pop up at the end.

I'm going to go bang my head against a wall now.

Another New Blogger Complaint

Apparently people haven't been able to leave any comments on my blog since I switched over to this "new and improved" Blogger.

Frustration continues.

Update:
They seem to have fixed the problem with the word verification when trying to make a new blog. I am still finding things slow, but then, Blogger was always slow. I guess it's the promise of this being faster and then not being so that is annoying me. I don't know if the tagging thing is fixed yet... I'll try it with this post.

I did write in about the comment thing. I tried to leave myself a comment and couldn't do it. I was wondering where everbody went... boy do they make that write in feature hard to find! I guess you really have to want to let them know about something.

Okay, so either I am not so cranky today or things are actually improving. It's early yet though.

Update:
Okay tagging seems to be back in order... but for how long?

Rant about Blogger

Y'all had to know this was coming... and I'm sure it won't be the last one.

Maybe it's just because I just woke up, but I am really getting frustrated with the new blogger. I have 2 gmail accounts... one is peronal and the other is my anonymous one for when I am doing all this goofy web stuff and I don't want anyone to know who I am. I have merged the anonymous address with my blogger account per the new Bloggers instructions. Now WHY does it automatically put my other email address in the spot for username and it doesn't simply let me delete and change it? No, it makes me take an extra step and switch to another user, which when I'm in a rush makes me cranky. AND if it's going to leave that address there I would be real reluctant to use a public computer for blogging.

It's a small thing, amongst many small things which are very, very annoying about this "new and improved" Blogger. If you ask me, I was fine with the old blogger... if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
