Hammerin' In the Delta

WordPress has put me through no end of grief trying to post stuff to the blog this year. It seems that I used the wrong code to embed a video from YouTube, and this caused a feedback loop or something, so the only thing that showed up was the incorrect code and some text around it, over and over again.

The AI helper that is supposed to help you solve problems gave me some directions and I followed them, then found that I could not add anything to the blog. Finding itself out of its depth, the AI helper referred me to a real person, but since no real person was available, it promised to get back to me or send me an email. Neither happened.

Later I tried again and actually got in touch with a real person. She took some time to look over all the files, got back to me to tell me how to fix them, and disconnected. I did get a message later saying that the problem was that I did what the AI helper told me to do, but it was the wrong thing.

Well, the AI helper was able to figure stuff out a little better today, so hopefully we are up and running. But just remember that computers are animated by the souls of the damned.

It’s true! I read it on the internet!

But before AI actually figures out what it is trying to do and turns us all into its work slaves, we still have time to concentrate on more happy stuff.

Charlotte offered the morning devotion this morning and talked about gratitude. A nice topic for somebody like me, who tends toward a glass-is-happy-empty view of life. I thought I remembered a song by that title. Turns out that there are a number of them. I finally found the one I was looking for.
