That Thing Still On?

I say a commercial promoting the new season of ER. I realized that there are kids starting high school this year that ER has been on their entire life. That is mind-boggling.

Some People Should Not be Allowed to Own Computers

I was asked to update a website for a local private school. I've been emailing back and forth with the principal about the needed changes. This afternoon I posted what I have done so far and her reply was when she looked there was no changes. I wrote back instructions about how some web browsers save a copy of web pages and so when you visit it again it just loads the old version it has saved. I gave her instructions on how to clear the cache so she could view the changes I made. Her reply: the content had not been updated. ARgh. Grumble, grumble.

Don't Send a Fish to Do a Puppy's Job

Meet Spot, he fetches files for me much better than a blowfish. Metaphorically it makes sense.

A local private school asked me to update their website for them before the school year started. They gave me most of the necessary information but I could not connect to the FTP server to save my life. I don't why I'd need to connect to an FTP server to save my life but I couldn't do it, I'd be dead like dinner.

I called the help desk of the web host and they gave me some useful information but not much of a help. I could connect through Firefox but not Dreamweaver or Fugu (the aforementioned blowfish). Of course no one at the help desk knew anything about the programs I was using or about Macs. Oy with the poodles already. While I waited for a supervisor to call me back I decided to try to download a different ftp program to see if I could get it to work. I read a review about Fetch and low and behold it worked.

I'm not sure how that will help

I read "suspect" as a noun not an adjective the first time.

Latin Skills in My Sleep

Two nights ago I couldn't sleep. In my restless, half-coherent thoughts it bothered me that I couldn't remember what antediluvian meant. I figured out it had to do with something before a deluge so my restless brain was satisfied.
A couple of strange facts:
- I wasn't even aware I knew the word antediluvian
- I know "ante" refers to a time period before when I'm awake but how did I know that when I was half asleep.
- I rarely use the word deluge so how would I know the Latin form.

In conclusion, my brain is weird.
