No more hissy fits,No computer will I flog,
Bugs and outages were the pits,
So I've moved to a beta blog.
I know, I know -- I was being the Queen of Procrastination about moving. Well, hell, I had visions of idiomatic formatting, odd symbols showing up in my posts, or -- horror of horrors -- losing everything in the transition. Didn't happen, of course. The anticipation is almost always worse than the reality. The entire process took about five minutes and, as far as I can tell, everything is intact. Now I can sit back and thumb my nose at tonight's scheduled outage, as well as the surprise outages. This ain't half bad.

Woo HOOOO! You joined the leite.....no more cake eating with the masses during blackouts!

arghh
Damn straight. I have a cake in the oven for the peons. I may eat it myself, though -- darn Comments box is still freakin' screwed up. That ain't so elite. Grrrrr.
Doctor W, that is entirely too much information for a blog comment, too convoluted and too lengthy to absorb in one sitting. Comments, by their very nature, are predicated upon brevity. I'm unsure whether I'm being called out as a heathen or simply having some fairly voluminous research information imparted. But thank you for stopping by.
I think the good Dr., needs professional help......
Wow...holy spammer batman, literally.
Welcome to the wonderful world of beta where you must choose between the new features or custom HTML. =D
I doubt that I'll mess with custom html, but everything else is pretty cool. I am delirious with joy at not having to sit and wait on that stupid spinning thing any more. Saves me some cuss words, too.
ROFL. I like the preview picture. You picked a good time to switch. Less bugs right now. Welcome to the fold =D
I'd have done it long before if I'd known the transition would be so easy. So far, so good -- once I remembered how to log in from Beta. Duh.
Hey Serena, mind if I link you to he PWZ? Kan, I sent you an email about becoming a contributor, but I am not sure if I did it right.....
The PWZ is totally diffeent then the pub and Stir is permentantly AWOL (I asked him to do it)
Sure, Rex, that's fine.
Cool....I am working on figuring it out....Its like have a car without the keys.....
When you have a car without keys, it's good to know how to hot-wire. LOL. You'll figure it out; getting there is half the fun.:)
Serena, you were very polite to Dr W. His post was like somone knocking on your door and refusing to let you get back to cooking dinner. I'm a born-again Christian but I would have shut the door in his face, I'm afraid. It was so intrusive!
Anyway, I have yet to convert to Beta. I'm scared of losing stuff! You promise me it's okay?
I wasn't real sure what to do about that, Liz. I thought about just deleting it altogether, because I truly don't like being proselytized at, especially in a novella-length diatribe.
Re conversion to Beta -- I promise you, it was ridiculously easy. I didn't have to lift a finger; once I clicked the button, the entire process was automatic. About five minutes later, I got an e-mail telling me that the process was completed and I could go play with it. I didn't lose a single word of the original blog. If you're ready to make the change, I can heartily recommend just going for it.
Serena, what forbearance to reply to Doctor W. with such calm equanimity! What a role model of civility you are. You'd do great calling strangers to get out the vote <grin>.
Hey, I'd seen something about beta, but feeling comfortable as I am I haven't moved in that direction yet. May now do so soon.
Some days I'm more civil than others, Mori. LOL. I think I'll leave the voter calling in your capable hands -- I'm much better with the written word than the spoken. All things political can get very heated very fast, and I'd hate to end up in a shouting match with somebody's little old grandma. :)
