My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written. |
| As I posted in the Newsfeed, my email went on the glitch and wouldn't open the next email. Not a big problem, but kind of a pain to always go back to the inbox. I checked my settings and everything looked fine. I downloaded Chrome, my Linux came with Firefox, and it did the same thing. Robert Waltz   suggesting the settings, so I went back in just in case I had missed it. It was set for next message. I decided to try switching it to previous message and tried it out. It worked fine. I next went back into settings and switched back to next message. I tried it out and it works like a chimp champ!I don't know why it stopped working despite being set properly, and I don't care; it's just nice to have it work correctly again. Hopefully what ever caused the glitch is over and done, but if not, I know what to do to fix it now. I guess if all else fails, jiggle a wire or a switch, so to speak, and hope it does the trick. Now, since I mastered that, I'm thinking of trying a bigger build of Linux that will do more. I'm currently using Mint, a small but nice formatted operating system, but it's somewhat limited and difficult to add to. The old laptop I put it on had a major Windows failure, but it has plenty of resources to run a bigger system. |
| After a comment I received, I was going to get a few pictures of Max, my Husky and post them for anyone interested. I have some pictures on my phone, but I'm using a Linux operating system with Firefox on my laptop after Windows crashed. I can, but with some difficulty and a lot of messing around, transfer pictures. So, I thought I'll use the camera on my laptop and take a couple new photos. I have tried several times today to take Max's picture when he's been doing something cute. But, by the time I get the camera ready, he notices and comes over to see what I'm doing and ruins the shot. I even tried while he was sleeping, but he notices right away and heads right to me. Two of the shots I took captured his nose quite well, the others were all blurry. I then decided to just use my phone, since it's faster. I kept it close by all day to try and get a couple of nice pictures of him. Fat chance! Anytime I activate the camera, he notices and moves, blurring the shot. I tried a couple outside and thought I had finally gotten a couple of pictures. However, a warm camera taken outside in single digit temps results in a steamed up lens and more blurred photos. Back inside, I dried the lens and left my camera on and ready. But, as soon as I pick up my phone, he moves. My wife just texted me she's on her way home. I picked up the phone to answer her and before I even got the phone in front of me, Max scrambled out of the room. I think my boy is camera shy! Tomorrow I'll try being more tactful and try to get a couple shots when he's not noticing, and hopefully post a couple for anyone who is interested in what he looks like. |
