07/23/01 - With a little determination, anything is possible. I'm persistant. I don't give up all that easily. Well, as long as it's something that's important to me and in the best interest of all concerned. So, I was getting impatient as The Scientist went to stay a few days with some friends and took his computer with him. I had always used his computer to make changes to my web site. I could never get my computer to work. I was never able to work on my web site from my own computer. That's one thing that was hanging me up on the online entries. I was at the Scientist's mercy. So ... I couldn't take it anymore. There must be a way, there's got to be a way! Voila ... I bypassed AOL. It was AOL that was messing it up, firewall or something. I accessed Page Builder from Internet Explorer. It worked, yippee!!! I'm free at last. It doesn't take much to build my confidence either. I feel really good about this. Seems each little accomplishment brings such rewards. It's a pity that some don't realize how easy it is to lower that confidence as well. There were many reasons, none important, why I hadn't gotten around to figuring out the fix for getting this program to work on my computer. In the meantime The Scientist assumed things about me. He didn't help me. He made me feel bad for being dependent on him. He didn't realize that it just hadn't come up before, the real need that is. The problem is solved, as all problems eventually are. Now I can write whenever I want, as much or as little as I want. Except, darn ... I always used the Scientist's computer to download my pictures from my digital camera. Woe is me ... woe is me ... back to the drawing board! |
