Sorry to stop blogging for, what, about three weeks now.
A TypePad employee fixed my last Stuttgart blog post, then rather tartly e-mailed me to say that they didn't expect to give customers that kind of help. Which kind of soured me on the whole blog thing for a bit... didn't know how to fix things, and didn't want to wrangle with irritable customer support.
Recently, though, TypePad has told us all that they've fixed a lot of aspects of the new formatting setup (too bad they couldn't fix them before installing them, and too bad they couldn't be more apologetic when people were complaining; but I've heard quite enough from customer support people this month, after minor wrangles with the makers of FileMaker software, and even with Apple; it seems that people are trained to be polite, but not to be helpful, if it involves admitting that their pointy-haired bosses might have made a mistake).
(And I keep getting page errors when I save posts... sigh... but then the posts look okay, at least.)
So I'll stop being so standoffish and get back to this.
The short news? Doing okay; I work some days, not others – which is against the intended pattern of at least a little work each day, but maybe I'll get there. Feeling rather out of touch with family and several friends, but perhaps that's appropriate. Mildly annoyed with bits of the outside world, but that's life ain't it.
More when something, uh, happens....
