#18.  Another power failure today just after 0900hrs, not bad – only a few minutes.  Lost some of the material for this post even though I regularly save while working – there’s always something I’ll later scratch my head over and say to myself “I thought I had a comment there?”  (Yes, I know.  I comment on everything, almost.)

So when I started up again I decided to just mess around experimenting with the program for awhile so if the power went out again I would not freak out with what was lost – if anything.  (Short interruptions are often back to back.)

Learned some new things – sure wish I had more time to mess with it – think I missed a beautiful day.   Anyway, after feeling reassured of no further power interruptions, I started to work on #18.  Heck, I already had the intro done (I know I can make a template for that, but right now I’m still re-creating everything for each post from scratch) so I figured – why not use my practice stuff in the real #18?  SO, we shall see.

I noticed after an hour or so into the presentation that the dreaded “wide aspect ratio issue” had resurfaced.  Went back and made corrections – may have missed a few.  Evidently some of the “still shots” I pulled from the original “wide aspect recorded video” (Old Olympus camera) were involved with resetting the option somehow.

Heck I’m still not sure why, but even right now I can switch over to the other open window and see for myself that rather large file uploading smoothly and much more rapidly.

Not a YOUTUBE employee feeling sorry for me?  May be someone from AT&T?  Some extra Guardian Angels assistance when needed?  Oh yes, of course the strong supportive psychic power from all viewers focused intensely on the problem always helps.

Whatever!  Uploading nicely for a _______ long posting!  Guess how long?   Nope! Not going to tell you now.   You’ll find out later.    Incidentally, I do truly care what these other folks think – I was just trying to pull a laugh out of you at the  _______ mark.)

 

My best to you and yours, Lew
