I’ve worked out what’s been bugging me. It’s work.

I think I'm going to have to admit defeat on a current commission. I don’t think I can complete it. In fact, I know I can’t complete it.

It’s how to tell the client…

Feeling angry, frustrated and sad today. There’s no one thing that’s causing it as far as I can see. Just a cavalcade of things that have been building up over time.

I’ll get through it, somehow.

Ta. Funnily enough, one of my Things To Do has just resolved itself. I'll take that as a win. 👍

Morning world. Yeah, I’m up. What of it?

For all that might need it, what with everything going on everywhere all at once, here’s something for you on account. Use it wisely.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

You know, it makes me very glad I closed my Facebook account all those years ago.

@druid

I guess they’re working on the basis that the vast majority of inmates won’t even care. They can deal with the tiny number of savvy users easily.

(And probably ignore your request anyway.)

Updates on the web site and domain migration thing from yesterday.

I am going through a process with Nominet, which is the UK body that deals with domain registration, to update my contact details for the domain name. I registered it with what is now a defunct email address.

We are currently bouncing emails about because Carol hasn’t spoken with Joel who already asked me the same question. They’re not being clear about what they want from me.

I’m normally the dense one. 🤔

I am afraid I’m at the point of becoming a bit shirty with them.

@suearcher

Nominet have something of a reputation. I’m sure it’ll get sorted out soon.

Now it’s their turn not to be able to read properly.

Now I have to reword my letter to make it as clear as possible what my instructions are.

Sheesh.

Morning world. The heating's still on. It’s going to be one of those summers, isn’t it.

@RolloTreadway

I read that, too. When the Gulf Stream stops, or shifts, we are going to really notice.

Yet nobody seems to want to do anything about climate change. 🤷‍♀️

Best free screenshot and annotation tool for mac?? I need text, shapes, drawing, arrows, etc.

It's time for an upgrade or at least a jailbreak from this shitty old paid Snaggit software I'm using.

@dyani

The OS has built in grab commands. I can’t recall them right this minute, but they cover most situations.

Preview does all the markup stuff, too.

Preview has always been a dark horse app. It’s very powerful if you take the time to play with it.

@dyani

It can be a bit clumsy, but you can copy/paste and duplicate objects.

Of course, another option with a bit more finesse might be Pages.

I think the general malaise is house wide. Best Beloved is feeling a bit under the weather, too.

Ack.

Well, here we go. Time to transfer a web site I've managed for several years to a new owner...

I'm hoping it's as simple as "please switch from here, to there, when you're ready."

It seems it was that easy. It never used to be. When I started playing with the interwebs, back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, there were all sorts of arcana and incantations to be gone through for this sort of thing.

There's always something...

The domain name is registered to me, but with a long-defunct email address. I have to jump through some hoops to prove it's me and I really am who I say I am.

I ought to have warned them about the selfie...

I may get a better shot next week. It’s next door to the health centre where I’m having a blood test.

Ooh, now that's lovely! Very nice.
