Got the lowdown update blues

I have dragged my feet all week about writing a blog entry. I started a couple, then balked. Why? you ask. Well, because all week I’ve had this “update now” prompt at the top of the page every time I log in to the blog. Bleah. Another update, about a week after the last one, which was about two weeks after the one before that (the one that went all twitchy on me and a lot of other people). I gotta wonder what went south this time and on whose computer. Maybe it was folks who use Chrome, or Safari. I use Firefox, and although I also sometimes use Safari, I’ve got all my bookmarks and my toolbar set up the way I want them on Firefox. It would be like rearranging all the furniture in my house — and I always lose stuff when I do that. At least with the “automatic” update feature I have, I get these prompts to back up and download my files and my database so I can’t lose them . Of course folders are like boxes — they mostly look alike, so not always easy to remember which one to look in for something.

And another thing… I needed to recharge my iPod this morning, and, of course, when iTunes fired up there was a message that the newest version was available. So I clicked the “download” button and went about my morning chores. When I came back later I of course got the message that I had to restart my computer to finish installing the updates. Fine. I just ejected my partially recharged Nano and shut the computer off. And went to the store. It’s always frakking something.

  1. Maybe solar flares were burning out computer connections, somewhere.

    Any update on Jelly’s portrait?
