Bumps and Hiccups

By Roger DeWitt2

Yesterday, for those of you who are subscribed to my blog, you got a bizarre little post that read “test podcast, test, test.”

Whoops.

You see, there was a problem with the blog, some of the funtionality and there was drama “in the code.”. It’s a scary proposition when the authors of the template you are using tell you that their mind is “boggled” by your problem. It just goes to show you how fragile our electronic lifestyle can be. I also realize how much I rely on my computer, websites, audio-and video player and all that stuff to simply… work.  When it doesn’t… well… it is a new form of stress that our ancestors didn’t have to deal with… micro-digito-compu-screwupo-lose-yourdata-o stress.  (I think I will submit that term to the DSM-IV people at the American Psychological association!)

I know, I know… when things don’t work you have the opportunity to learn about them… it’s not an exact science, it’s an art… blah blah blah… but it still sends a stab right down to my gut and I became obsessed.  I am relieved now… but I was totally obsessed. (I am sure there is a brilliant coaching lesson here that I am totally missing… but I am too tired to think!

So, bottom line this post is about saying, “sorry for the funky post yesterday” and celebrating the fact that I learned a little bit more about technology. It took about 36 hours… and I still really don’t know what the problem was… but, all in all, my podcast is back up and running and I am back in business.

Look for more posts coming soon and have a great weekend.

  1. You are a hoot. When you submit micro-digito-compu-screwupo-lose-yourdata-o stress to the American Psychological association DSM-IV, you could easily include my picture, hair ablaze!

    I’ve been there, experienced that, and am older and grayer as a result.
