Cloudy printing
Maybe the trick is to read the FAQ. Save some time. Ease the frustration. Etc. I didn’t. I won’t the next time. Move along; there’s nothing to see here.
Case in point: something called Cloud Printing from Google. I want it, maybe. We have these tablets that haven’t gone beyond the “Look at this!” level of sharing, and I’d be willing to waste a sheet or three of paper if the need arose. So now I have a new(er) copy of Google Chrome, and I’ve updated the drivers for the “all-in-one”, and I realize that the only way I can share this printer with the tablet world is to dedicate my laptop to the cause. Not likely.
Come on, you marvellous tablet thinkers. If my printer “does” TCP/IP, why can’t you find a way to stream some Postscript across the gap? Please?
Tonight marks the arrival of WordPress 3.3 and it works just the way I hoped it would. No glitches. No keening over lost posts. Even the user interface is cleaner than before. In fact, the real test was when I logged out and the logo wasn’t fractalized. Woot! (Whatever that means). Give credit to the development team. WP is Gold Standard, from where I sit. If only the proprietary (read expensively packaged) software people could do as well. I’m almost willing to start another blog, just to have the pleasure of using good code. I won’t, but my kids may feel some pressure to start writing (beyond their minimalist efforts on FB). Come on lads; let’s generate some posts for the ages.
