Wednesday, May 10, 2006Yet Another Good Reason To Be Married To a GeekAsk me how well I cope with not being able to post anything to my blog for several days. Then ask me how well equipped I might be to deal with asking technical questions and sending "tickets" to the Nerd Squad of a web hosting company. To my daily readers (yes, I really do know you're out there), my apologies for the interruption in what I strive to present as fairly regular content. And for those of you who tend to be on the chatty side -- my apologies for the missing comment box. Which brings me to the Very Good Reason to be married to a Geek. Eric posted Monday's blog by hand for me, which meant no comment box for that particular entry. Withered my heart, it did. What's the point of writing into a void? Readers are human beings, after all -- and I like to know that I'm actually touching somebody's heart once in a while. And if it weren't for my beloved husband, there wouldn't have been anything new on here since last Friday. There's more, too. Eric's the one sending the "tickets" and calling the "Tech, Level 2" folks at ipowerweb and trying to figure out what the heck the problem is and why we have been unable to FTP via Blogger since Sunday. (Hey, that paragraph almost made it sound like I know what I'm talking about.) In the realm of the World Wide Web, I would be lost without Eric. As of this writing, we're still having problems. Don't you love it when nobody will come out and tell you, straight up, what's going on? On the Blogger forum, I've read everything from, "We don't support third party problems" to "This is a known problem and it will be fixed in 12 to 24 hours" to "There is nothing that can be done, so you'll have to purchase an upgrade." Oy. Like I said, I'm ever so glad to be married to a Geek. I write, he deals with the Techno-poop. All writers should either be married to a geek, or be a geek themselves (right, Dave?). Let's hope things get straightened out. I wouldn't want you all to shrivel up and die whilst pining for my words of wit and weirdity. Till next time... |

6of my readers are feeling chatty:
Well, I'm not a writer...but I'd just die without my husband geekiness(did I just admit that?)! He's my computer guru and can fix my seemingly unfixable problems in a heartbeat. Although he then must EXPLAIN the entire process to me.........
Jamie, you just need to perfect that 'look'. The one where your looking him in the eye, nodding your head like you know what he's talking about and at the same time thinking of all the things you need to get down once he's done rambling. I've almost mastered it.
The problem with a geeky husband is if anything goes wrong with your computer, you can never blame him....unless you keep track of date & time that he's been on it.
I'm Henry the Geek I am I am!
From the Geek's perspective, it ain't easy being Geek. Everybody is very savvy when it comes to screwing the things up, then "HELP! SAVE ME!"
I have a fly-swatter for such occasions. Squash yer own dern bugs!
ARRR! Long day at work. :)
Long live Techno-poop!
((Jill)) thank goodness for Eric. Three gold stars for him!!!!!
Fortunately, My personal geek is never on my computer...unless I've specifically asked him for something.
Dave -- what, you don't LIKE being everybody's hero??
Well... I do like to help people out, it's just nice to be able to offer my service rather than have it surgically removed from me.
