Test Drive

I can't keep beaming hateful thoughts at Mr. Jobs - too much guilt/ bad juju - but the "no flash" bugaboo just reared up and bared its pointy little teeth in yet another aspect of online "life": This. Blogger. I know. I'm a noob, a 'tard, a retrograde, whatever. Don't care. Blogger has mostly "worked" for as infrequently as I've cared to "blog," and I'm too damned "lazy" to try anything more "elegant."

Anyhow, trying to add a pic last night from the 'Pad - FAIL. Uploading images directly from the iPad in Blogger is impossible,* o' course, but the url method seemed to be working. Until.

"The "done" button is flash?"

"The button-which-must-be-clicked-before-upload-is-complete button?"

"You're shitting me???"

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fucksticks.

But retrograde or no, I figured I couldn't possibly be the only iPad junkie still using Blogger, could I? Could I?? In other words, "surely there's an app for that?"

There are probably several, but this one - Blogger+ - was cheap and, from what I've read on the developer's forum, has been tussling with Blogger.com ithyoos for a while, so here we are.

So far: in portrait orientation, the text doesn't scroll, it disappears under the "keypad." Flipped to landscape - "problem" "solved."

I think I'll keep "documenting" my "experiences" here. Then maybe I'll "post" my "fixes" in the "feedback" at the developer site. I'm sure they would find my "insights" "helpful."

Now to try some basic "tasks" - saving, uploading, etc. - I have caffeine. I can do this.
