Confusion Reigns in Altopia

Things are rather at sixes and sevens here in Altopia today. The thing is I've just started blogging and though I now at least know what a blog is, I'm on a journey along a steep learning curve to know how to use them. The problem seems to be that every time I have something new to learn, things drop off the other end of the line. That's the way a computer recycle bin works. You shove stuff into it until it gets full and then eventually the oldest stuff gets cast out into the darkness (where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth). And that's pretty much how my brain works. OK, so if I keep going I will understand all about blogs, but will I then still be able to make a video or deal effectively with my websites?

And in any case it's never that easy. Having come to terms with creating a blog (just about) I then have to learn to put all my pictures into albums, so I can access them from the place like this where blogs get made. When you consider that I'm a professional writer, a seasoned traveller, a husband, a step father, step grandfather and all the other things I am, that's a hell of a lot of pictures on my computer. The wretched Picasa program is still trawling away, unearthing all sorts of horrible things from the bowels of my machine and arranging them into stacks.

Life in Altopia is generally interesting but it isn't always easy and it regularly makes my head hurt. What I really need is ten times as much brain power and a good forty eight hours in each day. Computers are supposed to make life easier, but in Altopia that is so often not the case.

Ho hum - I don't think shouting into the void is going to help. Is there anybody there?
