The Joys of Technology

I am not good with technology...not horrible...just not good. The computer is one of the pieces of technology that will always be confusing to me. I love our computer, and I know that I could not live without it. That does not mean that sometimes I don't feel like throwing it through the window in our office. I guess if I am being perfectly honest, it is the combination of the Internet and the computer that drives me nutty. I just think I will always be a few steps behind.

What am I getting at, you might be wondering.

Well, five days ago I started to upload our pictures from May and June onto the blog to share with all of you (By the way, there are hundreds). This is something that I do every month, so you would not think that it would take me five whole days to accomplish the task. Well, you see, this month I had my parent's camera. I am so lucky to have their camera considering I lost ours, but it means that I have to learn how to use a totally different camera. To be honest, I had just gotten comfy with ours after two years of owning it. I just cannot seem to figure out the lighting on my dad's camera. One minute it takes a clear picture and the next it is all dark. Well, I uploaded the pictures onto our web album and realized that the shots looked even darker on there. So, I went through all 500 pictures and adjusted the contrast, texture, yadda-yadda-yadda. It took quite some time, but I was very proud of the end result.

This is when the true dilemma stared.

I have literally spent days trying to get my new, clear, edited photos over to the public album. I am sure someone else could have figured it out in a matter of minutes - okay, probably seconds, but I was bound and determined to do it myself. After many a cuss word and few tears (yes, I cried over the computer), I finally figured it out just a few minutes ago.

The point of this rambling is to let you know that our pictures from May and June are now up for your viewing pleasure. Please do not let me know if there are any problems with viewing the pictures. I fear that it might bring on a panic attack.
