I may have mentioned this before, but I hate technology. And it hates me right back! Don't get me wrong, I love having a laptop and all that you can do with it, but when things go wrong - and they do, often - it drives me demented! Everything seems to go wrong together.
I'm hoping to get a new laptop soon (apple) as the one I've got is so awful in so many ways. I've not been able to upload photos since I moved the ones on my laptop to a hard drive ( cos they were causing the machine to crash, using up too much memory)
So how do I do my annual photo calendar? I had to get Nick to muck about and somehow use a back door method to upload my photos onto the big computer. Then I chose the ones I wanted but had to get Richard to put them into a new folder (ok I should've been able to do that, don't know what happened there). Then I loaded them onto a memory stick and transferred them to my laptop that way.
So far so (exhaustingly) good. Tonight, feeling a bit shivery, I took myself off to bed with the laptop (did I mention it regularly crashes for no reason?) and after getting back up to get the memory stick (cos apparently they HADN'T uploaded to anywhere I could find them) I finally managed to get the chosen few uploaded to the Truprint website.
And that's as far as I've got, cos now the bleeding website just sits there saying "Flash Player detection" and a big fat nothing happens.
So peoples, if you're looking for a calendar this Christmas you might get one by the summer, by the time I work my way through the myriad of shortcuts, ways around, fixes, longcuts and general crap that is my life online!
Is it just me?
Maybe I better not answer that or I will be waiting a LONG time for any Christmas presents!
