I tried to get on blogger this morning and it told me my cookie functionality was not working. I usually yell for Jon or Darla to help on that sort of thing. Well, Darla is at home, it being Saturday. Jon is still asnooze because he likes that last hour of sleep and I like an hour to myself in a people free house. But I’d just watched him fix the cookie problem late yesterday. I saw how he did it, so I thought, what’s the worst that could happen? Don’t answer that.
But the end result, you are reading. I fixed it myself. Yay, me.
I must say that working on the comic mostly via telecommuting with people around the country and out of the country has helped a great deal towards my technophobia. But also the MySpace page and the LKH forums and boards have helped as well. You guys and the comics have all help convince me that maybe tech isn’t evil, it’s just differently organized.
Jon and I did the one audio podcast and it went so well, and was relatively painless, we plan to do more. I’ve now done two video blogs, or is it v-casts? I’m not truly sure if there is a difference between the two terms, or perhaps the tech is moving fast enough that the term hasn’t been settled yet. One video blog for Fanboy TV, and another for Marvel. The one for Fanboy TV is up, though there were technical difficulties, but it worked. The one for Marvel will be up soon, and that one was done in person with me sitting in front of the camera. It worked more smoothly. I guess in video interviews over the computer you need everyone’s software to at least like each other. It’s better when every one’s computer stuff loves each other and talks in that fluid short hand of long established couples, but the software and hardware has to at least know everyone’s language well enough not to fight about it.
Hmm, humanizing the computers. Maybe it’s a way for me to cope and try and understand this brave new world. But my brave new world has cookies in it this morning. Cookies on the computer that I can’t even taste, but they let me talk to you guys. Somehow I don’t think cookies every thought they’d be part of the computer revolution. What’s next? If we’re naming stuff, I vote for chocolate cake next, or maybe just cake. The programmer who’s naming stuff can pick their flavor.
