Technical tBlog questions
08.26.06 (11:54 am) [edit]Can anyone tell me what does and doesn't work around here? I've learned not to believe everything I read in blogs, but I usually take what the web master says for granted.
- If I click the "invisble" link, I'm told that I'm invisible, but then next told that I'm visible again
- I've clicked profiles only to have the window close
- Today I was particularly annoyed to see that "2 new comments" were reported, when only one new comment appeared behind the link. How common is this one? The only thing I can think of is that a blogger posted a reply on his own blog to one of my comments, then deleted it.
A very old wrong
08.22.06 (10:05 am) [edit]I used to have a friend, who had stabbed me in the back in a most trecherous way. A couple of years later she e-mailed me with intentions that weren't very focused. Unfortunately, she chose the worst time in my life to expect any kind of optimism from me. Forgiveness never was my strong point, and admitting when she was wrong was never hers. Even at that time I knew this, and therefore, knew we could never make ends meet. However, at that time, she had no chance of eliciting any kind of positive response from me unless she was willing to get down on her knees and beg my foriveness. So even though the only bad thing she said was "I can't promise this is going to be a nice letter because I'm still angry about what happened" that was plenty to set me off. She probably went away hurt and angrier.
It's taken me 10 years to realize this, and even though I wouldn't say my reply was unfair, perhaps I was wrong in not giving her credit for having the guts to write me in the first place. Maybe she didn't consider where my emotions might be over the whole thing. (She had a deft ability for self-deception, so she might have disciplined herself to believe that she did nothing wrong, and therefore I'd have nothing to be angry about) But she did make the effort to e-mail me. And I knew that the tone she carried with me was the best I could have expected from her. But at the time I could only focus on what she did to me, and how nothing else could go forward until that had been dealt w/.
Flake report
08.18.06 (3:03 pm) [edit]Ok, now you are going to hear about "my bf/gf is such an a-hole...", although just the metaphysics of such a situation, if not an exact quote.
I just received an e-mail this morning from someone who lives 1.5 hours away saying we can't see each other for reasons that should have been apparent well before I went to see her. Fair enough, but this is in stark contrast to the enthusiasm she was demonstrating a few days ago. I wish I had thought to say "for someone who loathes the idea of driving a standard, you sure are swift shifting gears!" in my reply--hehe, that woulda got her.
