POST 253 -LISTEN UP! TIME FOR BETTER TECHNOLOGY! DON'T SWEAR-- JUST COMPLAIN LONG AND LOUD!

Hi,

Like many of you this blogger is on the computer regularly and fairly constantly between blogs and writing books AND FINDING MANY  INCONSISTENCIES THAT THE TECHNICAL WORLD DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ADDRESSING or isn't smart enough to fix !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS OFTEN MADDENING TO GO TO YOUR BROWSER THAT HAS BEEN OPERATING IN A CERTAIN WAY TO FIND THAT THE "FAIRIES" OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD HAVE BEEN MESSING WITH 'THIS OR THAT' WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE OR EVEN OPINION.  THIS BLOGGER REALIZES THAT THERE IS A CONSTANT EFFORT TO IMPROVE TECHNOLOGY BUT IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONLY IN AREAS WHERE THE IMPROVEMENT IS UNNECESSARY TO THE COMPUTER OPERATOR BUT IS  MAINLY TO IMPROVE SPACE FOR ADVERTISING MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ADVERTISING ON THE WEB IS A CONSTANT BOTHER AND GETS MORE SO AS THE MONEY FLOWS IN. IF IT IS NOT INTERFERING WITH YOUR WEB PAGE AND BLINKING OR MOVING SO THAT CONCENTRATION GETS IMPOSSIBLE, IT IS POPPING UP ON A PAGE THAT REQUIRES A CONCENTRATION YOU CAN NO LONGER GIVE IT BECAUSE THERE'S AN AD IN YOUR FACE.

WE ALL KNOW THAT ADVERTISING IS NECESSARY FOR THE WEB TO PAY ITS WAY BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME RULES ON WHERE AND WHEN AND HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  RUNNING A "FLAG WAVING" EVENT ALWAYS MAKES ME DETERMINED NEVER TO BUY THAT PRODUCT.  THE WEB MAKERS THEMSELVES SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF GOVERNING THEIR ACTIONS-- OR NOT !!!!!!!!!!! YOU THINK ???????????? MAYBE A SMIDGEN OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY COULD REAP LARGE REWARDS !!!!!!!!!!!

 INSTEAD OF THE APPROACH TAKEN BY SHILLS, CONS, AND OTHER LOW LIFE !!!!!!!!

MAYBE ALL THE ENERGY BY THE TECHS COULD GO INTO PRODUCING SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PROGRAMS AND SOFTWARE WE CURRENTLY NOW HAVE TO TOLERATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT ONE HIGHLY TOUTED PROGRAM IN THE MICROSOFT FAMILY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE TRASH STORED INSIDE !!!!!!!!!!!

NOW, THIS BLOGGER ISN'T SAYING THAT MICROSOFT HASN'T CONTRIBUTED MIGHTILY TO THE WEB BUT LATELY ITS CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE BECOME A LITTLE SHODDY. MICROSOFT WORD IS TOUTED AS THE BEST TEXT MAKING PROGRAM IN THE WORLD (BY MICROSOFT, OF COURSE). WELL, LET THIS BLOGGER FILL YOU IN MR. MICROSOFT. IT SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! AND THAT'S WHEN IT'S PERFORMING WELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS TO RECOUNT BUT LET'S LOOK AT THE CURRENT MICROSOFT 13 WHICH IS TOUTED TO ALLOW PDF'S (A CURRENTLY USED TOOL BY MOST BUSINESSES) TO BE ACCEPTED BY WORD (EITHER PICTURE OR TEXT) AND EDITED. THAT'S THE BIG WORD-----------EDITED-------------!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT SO MR. MICROSOFT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE TECHIES DOWNLOAD A PDF TO YOUR MICROSOFT WORD PROGRAM 13 AND EDIT IT THEN WRITE THIS BLOGGER WHAT THE MAGIC KEY OR MAGIC WORD OR SIMPLY MAGIC THAT MAKES IT OPEN ITS PAGES TO BEING EDITED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS BLOGGER WANTS TO TELL THE TECHNOLOGICAL STAFFS THAT ABOUND AS "CUSTOMER RELATIONS"--GENERALLY BAD RELATIONS THAT IS---THAT YOUR EXCUSES, YOUR DEFT HANDLING OF THE CONSUMER'S COMPLAINTS BY BLAMING IT ON THE CONSUMER, YOUR INABILITY IN MOST CASES TO HELP, AND YOUR DOWNRIGHT ARROGANCE TO DISGUISE YOUR IGNORANCE ARE ALL GETTING VERY.......VERY........VERY OLD AND UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WORD PROCESSING PROGRAMS ARE THE WORST OFFENDERS BUT BELIEVE ME THERE ARE OTHER OFFENDERS--A LOT OF THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS BLOGGER CAN'T CALL ALL OF THEM OUT

RECENTLY THIS BLOGGER HAS  GONE TO HEAD TO HEAD WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP IN ONE OF THE SMALLER BOOK COMPANIES WHO CANNOT NOW PRODUCE MY BOOK LEPRECHAUN LUCHT 2 IN HARDCOVER ALTHOUGH IT WAS PROMISED IN 2009 THAT IT WOULD ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE IN ALL FORMS. THAT WAS 2009 BEFORE THE TECHIES IMPROVED THE SITE AND CHANGED THE RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!! 

NOW CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I HAVE EXCHANGED AT LEAST 30 EMAILS ON THE FAILURE OF MY BOOK TO MEET SPECIFICATIONS (THEIR SPECIFICATIONS BY THE WAY) SO IT CAN BE PRODUCED IN HARDCOVER. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NEVER ACCEPTED THEIR FAULT IN THIS AND ONLY MY PERSISTENCE IN DOING EVERY SINGLE THING THEY THOUGHT ABOUT FOR ME TO DO HAS KEPT THEM ON THE LINE. I'M INCLINED TO BE A "MITE"  STUBBORN WHEN SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT IS THRUST ON MY SHOULDERS. OUTCOME ????????????? ONGOING !!!!!!!!!!!! IF THEY FINALLY ADMIT THEIR FAULT, I'LL TAKE MY MENTAL MARBLES, CURSE MY LOSS AND DEPART THE EMAIL DIALOGUE !!!!!!!!!!!!! 

UNFORTUNATELY NOT EVERYONE HAS EITHER THE TIME OR THE ENERGY FOR THIS SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS BLOGGER PARTICULARLY HATES THE PHRASE THAT THEIR DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN  "CUSTOMER SERVICE EMPLOYEES" USE:
 "WE ARE SO SORRY FOR YOUR INCONVENIENCE:" WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS "YOU ARE A PAIN IN THE  'A DOUBLE SCRIBBLE'  BECAUSE OF YOUR IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY BUT WE'RE STUCK WITH YOU".

 YOU NEVER SAW THE TRANSLATION BEFORE ????????????? GEE, "I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR INCONVENIENCE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BLOG TEACHES A BIG LESSON TO OUR CURRENT CROP OF POLITICIANS--NEVER ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG --DENY CULPABILITY--TURN IT ON YOUR ACCUSERS AND MAKE THEM THE CULPRITS, BLAME THEM FOR ANY INCONSISTENCIES THAT OCCUR.  ISN'T IT WONDERFUL TO HAVE A GLOBAL BENEFIT FROM THE WEB????????????????????? THAT WAY OBAMA AND THE LEFTISTS ELEMENT CAN FEEL RIGHT AT HOME IN AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW'D WE GET SO LUCKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 THE WORD PROCESSING PROGRAM THAT MICROSOFT BRAGS ABOUT IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE WORD PROGRAM THIS BLOGGER HAD IN THE SIXTIES. AT LEAST THAT WORKED AS THEY SAID IT WOULD AND DIDN'T PLAY A "HUNT AND PECK" GAME WHEN TRYING TO FIND SOME FEATURE BURIED IN ITS BOWELS (THOSE  BOWELS ARE NOT A PRETTY SIGHT). HUNTING FOR WHAT YOU NEED RIGHT NOW THROUGH BOWELS DOES NOT INDICATE A VERY CLEAN SYSTEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH ALL THE MESSAGE LINES MR. MICROSOFT HAS CREATED, IT IS ALWAYS CLEAR THAT WHAT YOU WANT IS NOT THERE. THEY MIGHT CONSIDER SIMPLIFYING THEIR SOFTWARE PAGE SINCE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BENEFIT ANYONE BUT THE TECHNICIANS, WHO CAN SMILE AND COMMENT ON THEIR CLEVERNESS AND EXPERTISE !!!!!!!!!!!! JUST THINK THE WORD PROCESSING PROGRAM IN THE SIXTIES COST A FRACTION OF THE COST OF THIS PIECE OF "DREAM WARE" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ONE OF THE BEST PROGRAMS THIS BLOGGER OWNS IS PHOTOSHOP BECAUSE WHEN MICROSOFT LETS ME DOWN I CAN GO TO PHOTOSHOP, CUT OUT PART OF THE PAGE, RESIZE IT, ADD SOME TEXT AND BE ON MY WAY, ALL IN TEN MINUTES. WITH MICROSOFT THE "NEVER FIND IT IN LESS THAN AN HOUR" RULE CONSISTENTLY APPLIES. AND IN  PHOTOSHOP MY PHOTOS REACH THE PEAK OF WHATEVER PERFECTION THIS BLOGGER SUPPLIES.

WHY CAN'T ALL PROGRAMS PREFORM LIKE THIS ?????????????? IF A COMPLEX PROGRAM FOR PAINTING AND PHOTOGRAPHS CAN DO IT THEN PLEASE TELL THIS BLOGGER WHY CAN'T A TEXT PROGRAM THAT IS A LOT LESS COMPLEX INITIALLY THAN A PROGRAM THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH FAR MORE COMPLEXITIES ????????

THIS BLOGGER IS SURE THAT THE RESIDENT TECHIES HAVE NO TIME FOR INSTRUCTION FROM THE PUBLIC AND I'M PROBABLY "WHISTLING IN THE WIND" BUT MAYBE  SOMEONE WHO CARES CAN GET THESE FOLKS ON THE BALL TO MAKE PROGRAMS THAT ARE SIMPLER, EASIER TO USE AND ACTUALLY FIT THE NEEDS OF CUSTOMERS AND THE CREDENTIALS THEY CLAIM TO HAVE EARNED.  TELL THEM TO TRY TO EDIT A PFD DOWNLOAD TO THEIR 2013 WORD DOCUMENT WITH THE SAME TOOLS THEIR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO USE AND THEN TELL US HOW GOOD THE PROGRAM OPERATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 NOT TOO LIKELY TO HAPPEN, YOU SAY !!!!!!!!! TOO BAD BUT TO ENTERPRISING  TECHIES AND ENTREPRENEURS OUT IN COMPUTER LAND, THERE'S A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY TO "SLAY THE DRAGON" AND THIS BLOGGER WILL BE THE FIRST TO BUY YOUR NEW TEXT SOFTWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHEERS, CONNIE
