Termyn8or -> Son of a bitch computers (8/20/2009 1:34:43 AM)
|
The last time I ranted about computers the thread got pulled. I was not warned but I suspect there was just too much profanity in it. I offered those who did not have solutions to share to join the rant, but I guess it was just too much.
This time I dunno if it was the internet got a cosmic ray or whatever, but I typed for a long time and then proofed it, which isn't quite proof because I do miss a few things, but this is my time.
I hit send then something encountered an error, probably my own friggin browser. I discovered a workaround for this inefficient asshole based software called Windows.
When you have composed a longish post, right click the text and hit select all and the text will all blue up, or somehow indicate that it is selected no matter what your color scheme. Then hit Ctrl+V, THEN AND ONLY THEN hit send.
I forgot to do this and wasted at least a half an hour of my time, the only irreplaceable resource.
And just a helpful hint, newbies on PCs maight think yellow text on white is cool, but do not realize the it is too hard to read, well just right click it and hit select all. It will make it readable.
Son of a bitch. Half an hour at least, wait, looking at the clock it was more like an hour by the time I proofed it. DAMMIT.
Anyway, words to the wise, select all, and if it is a post you are about to send Ctrl+C and THEN hit send. If something happens just get back here and then hit Ctrl+V and it should all reappear.
Just a Termy public service announcement, which I thought I would mention again because I just failed to take my own advice. Dammit.
Like I said; Son of a bitch !
