Confessions of a Self Confessed Technophobe


So, I was thinking about all the sexy new sigs and thinking 'WOW I wish I could do that' and knowing it was never going to happen.

 

And then this pm popped up and I opened it and there was this angel flying around who blew her trumpet and announced... Lo I bring tidings of great joy, for this night shall be born on GA a sig of great sexiness.

 

No, seriously, it was Cia who offered to make me a sig.

 

And then we met on MSN and we chose a picture (which incidentally Cia took. I think it's in the gallery so go and look). Then we agreed the writing and I got over excited and said things like OOH OOH.

 

And then came the time when I needed to download it (upload it?) into my gallery. Sooo. I tried for ages to get it into my gallery in a variety of ways and got totally confused (This is the person who gets photos from her phone into her 'My Photos' via Facebook and the, after a few attemtps, into my Gallery.

 

Anyway, back to the story... So there I was completely incapable of getting the sig into my Gallery. After a tutorial from Cia I managed to get it into my Gallery but it was tiny. I tried to make it bigger and... surprise, surprise... failed

 

So in the end Cia put it in her Gallery then waved a magic want and... poof... there it was... MY NEW SIG.

 

Soooo the moral of the tale

 

NEVER ask me to do anything technical

NEVER expect me to understand anything you do or say that is technical

NEVER assume that anything technical that affects my signature, forum, webpage etc was done by me

Cia is a fairy :)

 

 

Okay, and I would like to edit with the comment that it took me precisely one and a half minutes to work out how to publish this blog. I got it to Draft easily enough and then couldn't work out how to publish.

 

It occurs to me that it's miracle how I managed to find my way around GAStories... again thanks to Cia and Lugh :P

This was great!!! I was laughing out loud!!

 

I, also, am technically challenged, so I feel your pain. If it's not called a thingamajig or a doohickie, I'm lost.

Awwww, you're sweet! Making signatures is a lot of fun for me. Sometimes I open up pictures and just play with them for fun when I'm stressed because doing it is relaxing and often amusing. So really it was my pleasure!! I don't think the original picture is in the gallery but I'll upload it later on my main computer, the file isn't on my netbook that I'm on now :) If anyone else wants a graphic let me know. I really don't mind at least trying to make something :)

I feel like that when it comes to some things with technology. People tell me i'm good, but when the tech guy at work starts talking to me about networking and routers... I swear all I hear is "Technobabble Technobabble Technobabble and then you just plug it into the socket and technobabble technobabble."

 

I feel you on it, but it's always good for a fairy like Cia to be around :)
