Le Curve du Learning

Published by Ree at 6:26 pm under Blog365, The Blog Itself

She is steep my friends. But I’m getting there. Slowly, but ever so slowly.

Here’s one thing I definitely learned (besides the fact that I have the patience of a gnat’s lifespan).

No FTP capabilities from you-know-where, so during business hours, all I can do is post. I can’t fix. Which means that the fact that my old template had a 700X200 header and this one has a 750X200 header? Can’t be fixed. Until tonight.

Updated:  Apparently, I also have the brain of a gnat because I remembered that I don’t have to ftp the graphic for this template.  Therefore, ta-da! Fixed.  

Do you know what that does to someone as anal as me? And I’m not even thrilled with the darned theme I’m using. Ack.

And no plug-ins can be added. Until tonight.

So, what am I doing? Getting my post in for the 7th day of WhatthefuckamIdoing Blog365 so that if I completely lose my mind tonight, I can, at the very least, say that I’ve accomplished 1 thing.

In the meantime, remember the suck-ass snow?

This was a picture from outside my office window on January 2nd - a mere 5 days ago.




This is the same view today.




—- It’s 57 degrees outside. And Oh Mah Holy Hell. There’s something yellow and shiny poking through the clouds. —-

    I, too, have toyed with the idea of hosting my own site with a domain name and all.

    It’s people like you who convince me to stay the hell where I am. Thank you for walking the path before me ;)

    What is up with this weather? I’m NOT complaining because 62 in January is an awesome, awesome thing when you don’t live close to the equator.

    I just know we’re going to pay for it later. But I’m enjoying the few days of it as much as I can!

    At least you sound like you know what you’re talking about with all that FTP and header dimensions talk. You go, girl.

    Listen - when it’s 19 degrees in Orlando - you know I was cussin’ up a storm. Now its in the 60s and I’m still shivering like a ****h. They say when you move down to Florida your blood thins. However, my butt has STILL not gotten that memo.

    Huh. We are on day 4 of a snowstorm. The novelty is wearing off REAL FAST, let me tell you!

    Well, lookit you. 7 out of 7. Yay!

    And woooooo hooooo….. ding dong, the snow is gone!

    For now.

    This is Michigan after all…

    Was it really 57 degrees today? Damn. Maybe I should move my ass away from the computer once in a while.

    It’s been a lot “warmer” here too, our low has gone from an average of 13 to 25. I can walk around the house without my down vest on! Woo-hoo!

    OhMeeGee I hear ya…I’m north of ya ;) and we had THUNDERSTORMS today…the weather is definitely weird, first Cali gets snow and now Illinois/Wisconsin gets Thunderstorms in January….

    Sounds like the weather here… Yuck. Blizzard-like conditions just over a week ago and now we have tornado warnings and rain today.

    Isn’t this weather insane? We’re in a severe thunderstorm watch here in Lansing until 10 p.m. It’s so crazy that there are thunderstorm & tornado watches in MI this time of the year!

    I’m enjoying the warmth while I can though! I hear there may be snow to look forward to this weekend… :(

    I’m slurping up the high 60’s-low 70’s (yesterday and today) so that I don’t get so depressed when it gets butt ugly cold again . Alas it is the end of the warm streak but I am lovin’ it!

    What the hell is FTP?

    It sounds like an acronym for something bad!

    I am too much a perfectionist to mess with web pages, I would FOREVER be tweaking it. I am best staying ignorant.

    I drive the guy that does spreadsheets crazy, tweaking the looks, content etc.

    LarryLilly’s last blog post..Its been a long time….

    I get bored with my blog but there aint no way in hell I am going to try and change it…..not that I would even know where to begin.

    Yesterday was 87F here and tomorrow will be 109F. I swear you could fry bacon on the concrete outside.

    LOL…………..I’m new to your blog, and don’t know how you feel about exercise, but the warm weather would give me boost.

    Food for thought…………………:)
