My Life Sucks So Much

Tim Knight said...: See? You posted a picture. My picture, admittedly, but a picture nonetheless ;)

The way I post pictures in the "new" blogger is:
(1) click on 'insert image'
(2) click on 'upload from computer'
(3) wait (ages) for window to open where I can select an image from my hard drive.; September 18, 2020 at 12:25 AM
Tim Knight said...: P.S. I see people have been telling you you might have reached your "limit" for pictures, but I don't believe there is a limit these days (and there hasn't been one for years).

When we both started using Blogger there was a clearly stated limit to the amount of room we were each allocated for pictures, but now, I believe, the sky's the limit.

This is Google we're talking about, they pretty much own the Internet and all the Clouds.; September 18, 2020 at 12:54 AM
Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...: See I can't even download pictures from my computer. I have to wait until I see a picture like the one you had of the tombstone, copy the URL then add the picture that way. It won't let me download several pictures at once.; September 18, 2020 at 6:59 AM
Debra She Who Seeks said...: That photo says it all!

Here's how I post photos now. I see one I like -- I click-drag-and-drop it at the side of my screen. Then I open iPhoto and click-drag-and-drop it into a designated blog photo folder. Then in my draft post, I use the "insert image" button on the toolbar to "upload from computer" and select it from my iPhoto folder. It appears in my post and then I use the size icon on the toolbar to make it x-large.

But I can only upload photos one at a time because if I select a whole string of them, New Blogger posts them in reverse order, the bastard.

Everything takes 3 times longer and is 3 times harder in New Blogger. I hate it. I used to just be able to click-drag-and-drop photos and images directly into my draft post. SO much quicker and easier.; September 18, 2020 at 7:50 AM
Tim Knight said...: I occasionally get some message about something like "unable to connect" or something, but I simply click "upload from computer" again and it works the second time. The system is clearly very glitchy :(

Persevere. Never give up! Never surrender!; September 18, 2020 at 8:16 AM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
