Despite rumours, I haven’t ‘snuffed it’ or ‘lost it’ – I’ve just been incredibly busy on my writerly pursuits, plus the steepest learning curve of a multitude of new things, and been totally neglectful of my websites and other places. It’s a vast technological world out there I find – to my delight/dismay (substitute either on any given day – even many times within any given day!) In the wee small hours, I’ve discovered Notes on Facebook, so I’m giving them a go. This may or may not prove to be something I’m interested in, but up above you see the photo I’m leading the note with, and this is what I said –
‘Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Bah! Humbug!
As a result of my visits to and learning curve from local community radio station, 5THE FM 107.7, I’ve downloaded the same sound recording program – Audacity – and am teaching myself (a tiny bit at a time) some new recording skills. Here’s some early results.’
Chrisine, do I ever know what you mean. Everytime I learn something I find out there are five more things I need to learn to understand the first thing. So take heart, you’re not alone. There are other war-horses that love/hate technology. Wouldn’t want to do without it anymore but boy, sure wish I could understand it better.
BTW, I love your best friend Ted Bear, Esq.
Hallo again Lenie,
And the other thing I hate is when you can’t find that techno key (or even the name of it) in the mass of knowledge gurgling around the gray matter, and then you remember in the middle of the night when there’s nobody to tell, and then by morning, it’s gone AWOL again!
Definitely made me smile Christine! I’m not one of those highly demonstrative types but I have been known to jump up and do the victory-arms-in-the-air yelp when I finally ace a technical problem, so yep, I know exactly what you mean. And good for you, keep it up!
Technology is constantly moving and if you do not keep up, you really will be left behind. I gravitate towards some forms of technology and move away from others. I am learning that I need to be well versed in all forms of technology rather than just those which I enjoy.
Sometimes the thought of completing a task is far worse than actually completing the task.
Likely once you get it all sorted out on Facebook they’ll compaletely change it.
