There’s some technical issue with my smart phone settings (I presume) where I can’t e-mail photos to my laptop. It wears me out! It also complicates doing my blog posts since that’s how I create them each day. So, until I work it out, I’ll post old photos I guess. Ugh!
Dougy, December 2018: Enjoying the sun.
Andy, March 2019: He enjoys a serious “scritching”!
I hope I work this issue out so you can see the kitty boys’ new haircuts. Yes, today is the day they go to the groomer!
I joined following you late enough that what is an annoying break for you is a chance for me to catch up. I am considered a geek by many but technology more and more drives me crazy.
Me, too, Angela! There’s quite a lot to catch up on. Hope you had a good time sorting through the old posts!There are videos from their kittenhood through 2014 or 2015, when an updated wiped out an editing program I liked for videos. One of my personhal favorites – these are on my YouTube channel, phainopepla 95 – is one I called “The Visitor” https://youtu.be/FWUCbp12_Bs
I would love to try helping you Doug, these devices are more complicated today then ever before today. Hard to do when one isn’t present!
It turned out the photo emails were queued. There was an option to release the emails, which I did, and they went promptly to my laptop email. This is the first time this has happened, so I freaked out, thinking I had a miserable challenge ahead to restore the connection. When it turned out to be something simple and stupid, I thought, “Yep! It’s always something simple and stupid!”
Well I’m glad ya got the flow going again Doug! The brains that build these devices love to change things…
Isn’t that the truth!?
I like the expression on Andy’s face in that one
Me, too! It’s his “stoned on catnip”face, though he just gets it when I find that special spot by his tail. LOL!
Good luck with the phone, Doug!
It took very little time to correct, amazingly! As predicted, it was something simple ans stupid, a matter of emailed backed up in a queue.
same here… I do it the old way with an usb cable and a photo software.. it drives me crazy…
I located the place on my smart phone where the photos had queued up – 34 of them, mostly duplicates since I tried resending them more than once. Once I resent the top one, the whole mess popped up on my laptop. I’ve no idea why they queued, nor what I did (specifically) that resolved the problem. Main thing is I found the answer (?) and was able to repost the photos I intended to post today. I even have a few to use later. Ugh!
The most frightening day I had using computers (other than the day I accidentally deleted a day’s worth of work that I’d not backed up yet) was the day I retired and realized I no longer had access to my company’s IT specialists! On the other hand, I learned a lot watching them fix my boo boos, so manage to survive and learn new tricks based on a misguided confidence all fools have because they know no better than to dive from the 100 foot cliff in
to the maelstrom.
