And the Morning Full of Errors
The simple things just won’t work today. The one of you who frequents this place may have noticed the Newsmine/Blog feeling a bit under the weather. It is sickly because it is not working. It is not working because every solution I find is blocked by another problem.
When the RSS feed from the previous incarnation would not export, I should have taken caution but I found the SQL import solution.
When the SQL failed to import via phpMyAdmin, I should have taken a nap but I tinkered and managed to create a swell confusion of things.
When I found the answer(hopefully) on how to import a large database, i should have been overjoyed but it is in video form. This computer has no audio card. The laptop has been running a chkdsk for half the night/morning(with no signs of finishing) and as it has the needed A/V capabilities, I am at an impasse until it finishes.
Then there are the widget problems on the working blog and the unnecessary time wasted finding a theme that would work for My Bits.
So here we sit. No news is bad news and I am very tired.
On days like these, I would not mind a Web Elf. Hell, taming a Web Goblin would be less trouble.
