The Capt is now going through the learning curve with the software he's installing on his new laptop, and the new hardware bells and whistles, including a mounted camera with a skewing feature he can use to get a funhouse effect. He got everything to work except the one program he wants most: GarageBand. So he sent me this shot after the last time GarageBand crashed on him. You'd think with all that cranial capacity he'd have no problem, wouldn't you?While he's messing with his MacBook Pro, I've been fiddling with Facebook. I decided to link my blog to my Facebook page, reasoning that if Steve did it, it must be a good idea. That's the kind of little sheep I am! After wading through dozens and dozens (sigh) of tiny icons and buttons, I finally did it (just click on the blue Notes tab). Friends were asking me for instructions, and it was reassuring that I wasn't the only one who had to struggle with this procedure, but daunting because I can't exactly explain how I finally succeeded. It was...um...sort of by accident. I hate it when that happens, I don't learn anything!
Next I started adding some of my music favorites to Facebook, but only a little sample of the song would play. How disappointing! So I'm putting the YouTube link on each one.
When I told my maestra Lolita she should get a computer for her music, she said, "Oh, nooooo! I know what would happen, I would never get off of it!" Though she finally gave in and bought one, so far she has had to compete with her grandson for it. But I can tell the hook has been set, because she wants to get another one. And then life will never be the same.
