Incompatibility.
My computer programmes are up to date, modern versions, so not necessarily entirely compatible with decade and a half out of date versions...
This wouldn't matter if it didn't involve six thousand words and thirty five photographs, a lot of work. Hours and hours of work, especially when you begin everything from scratch again, then spend hours searching for something which (doesn't exist) may be corrupting that file.
Frustration, exhaustion, worry.
It drains energy, zaps the life-force.
This is how I feel at the moment.
Normal service will be resumed soon. I just need to recharge my batteries!
All that doesn't sound good, hope you get re-charged very soon
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue. I am nipping into town for a haircut - that will either pull me up, or sink me to the bottom! Thank goodness for mugs of tea and books, books, books!
DeleteTechology has a lot to answer for - hope you get your problems sorted soon and are back on track. Enjoy your time out.
ReplyDeleteThank you. A bit of sunshine and some time away has definitely helped to put things back into proportion!
DeleteI'm cursing my computer here too...and the digital camera....commiserations!
ReplyDeleteThank you, gz. I hope your problems are soon fixed.
DeleteThe computer may be easier than the haircut! My last cut was perfect, until I ventured, "Oh, if only it were just the same only shorter!" I bet you said the very same to your computer. Only time will fix that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne. The haircut was a success, for a change. My computer is fine, it was a publisher's software which was the problem - yet no problem at all, once I knew about it and could make the adjustments. So much time wasted!
DeleteI am so sorry for all of this. But totally in-the-dark, about what it is about. All I can think of is your book of Miss Read. But that wouldn't be all of Lincolnshire.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you will take a minute, to clarify... Just a minute or two.... :-))))
Meanwhile... Hugssssss...
✨🍁🎃🍁✨
Thanks, wow! Gratefully received. I have emailed you with the saga.
DeleteI am so sorry to hear this - you sound so frustrated. I hope the cups of tea and quiet walks around your beautiful countryside put you back into harmony. A hug to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan. I feel much better now. A decent haircut, copious cups of tea and sunshine in the fields have worked their magic!
DeleteI keep my photos on separate hard drives not just my laptop and that gets chanedcevery three years. I've had enough Greff with busted hard drives to worry over things, there is more to life
ReplyDeleteSounds very sensible and well organised.
DeleteI had been asked to prepare a 20 page document for a small print run - in the event it turned out simply to be that my up-to-date software was not compatible with someone else's 15 years out of date software - unsurprisingly. Once I found out about the age of the software which was trying to interpret my document, it was an easy fix...it was the long journey before making that discovery which caused the stress and bother.
New technology is wonderful when it all works but a right pain when it doesn't and, as you say, it is often fixed quite easily once one knows what the problem is.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a heavy cloud following me for a while now - one flap of a feather duster and it was gone - it really was that simple, Susan.
DeleteGlad to read all is well again, a break away to hairdressers and copious amounts of tea seem to have worked their magic.
ReplyDeleteOoops! Sorry, I missed seeing this one. The haircut is excellent, thank goodness. (I was trying out a new hairdresser, always an unknown quantity.)
DeleteI hope your weekend is going well!
