Displaying 11,251 To 11,280 Of 11,789 Comments Hey, what’s up with this Vox Populi sidebar? Also, are there any jinkies to be aware of when writing an article? Are we smoothed out? » Posted By Khirad On March 26, 2010 @ 12:00 pm Well, that’s a new one. Ouch! Hope you didn’t lose much. » Posted By Khirad On March 19, 2010 @ 2:05 pm Ah, good thinkin’. » Posted By Khirad On March 16, 2010 @ 10:23 pm It’s only minor, I can rewrite this part. I am curious why i can’t find a simple way to change the size, as in a word document, though. » Posted By Khirad On March 1, 2010 @ 3:20 pm Firefox crashed again. Fortunately, I only lost a few words this time. However; please help me on this: I cut and pasted something, without noticing the formatting change (smaller font). How do I change this in the formatting bar? » Posted By Khirad On March 1, 2010 @ 3:09 pm Thanks everybody. I must say it felt good to vent and to hear similar experiences. We’ve all been here with something. » Posted By Khirad On February 27, 2010 @ 7:21 pm Thanks, but no. It’s lost. Only thing to do now is to get a good rest and slug away tomorrow. » Posted By Khirad On February 27, 2010 @ 7:17 pm Yes, you summed it up AdLib – quirks of Firefox and all. I thinks that what happened. I’ve even had Firefox tell me to log back in before. I think I can retrace it; but it’s just sapping to have to redo a good part of it. Who knows, maybe it will turn out better. Good tip on going through my history. Boy that could be a mess, but could help for a few re-googling won’t help with. The irony is that I think not cleaning out my cache for a few days and having my bookmark library out probably contributed to this. I want a little more intelligence/self-awareness in my computer so that when I scream at it, it feels ashamed. » Posted By Khirad On February 27, 2010 @ 7:16 pm Yes. I still have a draft, but I made a few revisions in the first 1,500 words – deleted bookmarks to source links, and have apparently lost everything since my last draft – over 1,000 words. I already had to start over on this once. Maybe I should take it as a sign. I was putting my heart into this and was working on it all day. That’s actually the worst part. I’ll leave Firefox hanging for now. No need to force quit. I can see the window – why wont it just let me save! I’d rather it just crashed. This is so much crueler… » Posted By Khirad On February 27, 2010 @ 6:13 pm I’m about to cry. I’ve been working on an article for some time and just got the color wheel of doom. Firefox isn’t responding. I didn’t save – and checked on another computer (this one). It didn’t autosave either, and I’m missing only say, the last 1,000 words (and links which I cleaned from my bookmark list as I knocked each off). I’m seriously about to break something. I was nearly done. » Posted By Khirad On February 27, 2010 @ 5:58 pm Just wanted to say that I was working on WordPress. I was about a quarter way through my next article and Firefox crashed. Why can’t Firefox restore WordPress? I lost everything. 😡 😡 😡 😥 Oh, on the bright side, I was informed that Firefox was updated on restart. Hooray. Anyway, not really asking for any help – I just needed to vent. Is that okay? I’m usually carefully cutting and pasting onto Word. Although, I would still have to add links and formatting, so this isn’t ideal. …No, I’d really like Firefox to stop screwing with me, especially crashing on YouTube. I never used to have this problem with it ever before. It’s as if it as continually sucks more with every new version update. And yet, I’m too lazy and stubborn to switch all bookmarks or switch back and forth from it to Safari. Okay. Venting done. For now. » Posted By Khirad On February 23, 2010 @ 6:53 am Oh dear, would appear I filled out the preview, link, new field, apply wrong again. I was sorta thinkin’ about cropping it anyway… I think I did it right last time. It’s not brain surgery, I follow instructions to the ‘T’ – but aargh! » Posted By Khirad On February 11, 2010 @ 1:10 am Okay, I know it auto-saves and I can save it and all, I was just being careful. I’ve in the past gone through a pot of coffee and written them all in one sitting. » Posted By Khirad On February 8, 2010 @ 7:50 pm Darn’t, more rusty than I thought. Scratch this. » Posted By Khirad On February 8, 2010 @ 7:46 pm Just need a reassurance. I started an article earlier today, got sidetracked with life. Draft will work, yes? I have no reason to assume not, I just want to be sure. » Posted By Khirad On February 8, 2010 @ 5:50 pm That red type just reminded me how much fun I’m still not having with HTML. I still remember a bit of simple stuff from the 90’s when we were old school and I was too cheap to pay for Dreamweaver. » Posted By Khirad On February 8, 2010 @ 5:43 pm Took me several tries, Bito! Aargh! » Posted By Khirad On February 8, 2010 @ 5:39 pm blockquote – TEXT – /blockquote Add carrots. <> » Posted By Khirad On February 6, 2010 @ 2:13 pm Hmm, walk me through that more. I may know what’s going on here. » Posted By Khirad On February 4, 2010 @ 5:50 pm That’s what I had surmised. » Posted By Khirad On February 2, 2010 @ 5:08 pm Indeed. Whatever. Whenever. » Posted By Khirad On January 6, 2010 @ 4:07 am I can imagine, when even paragraphs are a no go. » Posted By Khirad On January 6, 2010 @ 2:59 am So, am I to understand that codes and formatting don’t work in profiles? Which, speaking of, a href=”www.sitename.com” target=”blank” – link name – /a is totally not working for me in regular posts. Just get that odious rel=”no follow” after submitting. In any case, I’ll work this out later, profile wise. This site is a labor of love, and it may be harder than I can imagine, but the whole process is kinda cumbersome, right now. Or, maybe I’m just not accustomed to it yet, either. » Posted By Khirad On January 6, 2010 @ 2:37 am I always use jpeg format for this sort of stuff. » Posted By Khirad On December 26, 2009 @ 7:47 am I swear to god I did all that. » Posted By Khirad On December 26, 2009 @ 7:46 am That little fairy is my nemesis as well. I found it a little non sequitur here, but all the funnier because of that. I could devote some time on that one and her ilk at huffpostextended. » Posted By Khirad On December 26, 2009 @ 7:44 am Okay, question. I follow the FAQ to get a preview picture but it doesn’t work out – I suspect it’s either adlib or Kalima fixing it (well my first three it definitely was as I totally missed those directions the first times around). Oh, and by the way, I tried a few times and ended up noticing too late that the same picture was being uploaded like three times, me ending up on another file name altogether… thus, you have three unneeded Montazeri.jpg 1,2,3 (I think) pics taking up server space. Sorry about that. » Posted By Khirad On December 24, 2009 @ 6:23 am Wow, we seem to be in sync! I sort of thought that’s what you were doing with them. Like they exist because of the others, to call them on it. I just wasn’t sure. Anyhoo, you’d already gotten my thumbs-up and 10 stars. And, a 100% on Maher. Besides the self-promotion thing, maybe he wants to overcompensate in trying to be objective (or at least outside the box, I don’t think he would ever describe himself as unbiased). By the way, doesn’t BBC do the same Winter Solstice, pagans on the rise story every year? I have some neo-pagan sympathies, but think I knew where you were going, and yeah a lot of ’em can be pretty spacey and out there. Others have been the most intelligent people I’ve ever known. In any case not the point of your article at all – and it makes me sound as if I didn’t read the whole thing through, which I did, laughing all the way. I too find Festivus so much more viscerally authentic in it’s inception, rather than reconstruction. One year our sermon in church was on it, in fact and we performed a little of it (not in full, of course, but there was the pole). » Posted By Khirad On December 24, 2009 @ 6:51 am I have absolutely nothing to add, whatsoever. I will admit to watching Keith here and again, but yeah the histrionics totally started losing me over a year ago and that O’Reilly thing, and other stories he played up that ended up wrong, were never corrected. Ed has totally been pissing me off too – whereas before I just couldn’t take the non-stop outrage (I mean, seriously, I worry for his blood pressure). Nate Silver or Elijah Cummings or some voice of reason has to contend with some etheric dogmatist from the left, that somehow believes there’s still enough political capital to scrap HCR and start over… and so on. I guess the only real problem I had was why you had to rag on pagans and Stewart/Colbert (whom I would argue are new iterations of an older satiric tradition, but hey, I’m but a pup). In any case, quite ironically, I found this to be cathartic and what I needed to hear. That someone else is thinking the same things as me regarding a plethora of ailments in our discourse and information gathering, and having to deal with the dumbfucks from both fronts – all criticism, few practicable solutions. And worse yet, the Obama supporters who made him all things to all people. I, too, never got swept up in the mania, I simply sat back, realized he wouldn’t be perfect, but in the end saw him as a politician whom I thought was the least of all evils (no offense meant to Hillary supporters) who could actually get elected (yeah, that’s to the Kucinich people – of whom I share many of the same ideals, just none of the pie-in-the-sky delusions or orthodoxy – his wife is a hottie though – makes me wonder what he could accomplish in office if he worked some dark magic to get her). » Posted By Khirad On December 24, 2009 @ 6:18 am Yes, I’ll take Karim Sadjadpour over The Walrus. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I almost COMPLETELY LOST IT when watching an interview a couple months ago after the demonstrations where he said the same thing about Israel doing it now or never. What’s new is that he still believes in the almighty power RFE and BBC Persian to set things aright (apparently he’s read Countercoup: The Struggle for the Control of Iran by his hero Kim Roosevelt and think that can work again). I completely lose it and become exasperated, because, how do you argue with someone with such Intellectual Integrity Deficit Disorder? Thing is, he is, I believe, smart enough to know better. But, like men like Kissinger and Brzezinski, has his own interests and ulterior plans. This guy is a total AIPAC shill. Nothing more. He couldn’t care less about the Iranian people. That is self-evident. By the way, correction/clarification, the 50 arrested was in Isfahan, Wednesday alone. And stuff has proceeded along throughout the week, with stuff seeming to start to heat up a little again after a lull Thursday and Friday. » Posted By Khirad On December 26, 2009 @ 8:00 amComments Posted By Khirad
