Aggravation

I had the most wonderful idea for a post yesterday that required the use of a vintage picture. I have a handy dandy new three in one printer -- not color and not photo which is fine since this a vintage photo -- so I scanned in the photo and then proceeded to blow it up, save it and get on with my post. When I tried to insert the picture it wasn't big enough or bright enough. Well, I went back to square one, made it bigger and brighter and carried on. Still not right. After about 30 attempts at this I thought I had it perfect, scanned, saved, wrote the post, inserted the picture -- still too small. Consulted A on this. His response was "that just seems to be the way they scan". Not a suitable answer for me. So, do I blame the picture? Do I blame the scanner? Do I blame Linux? I am beginning to have a love/hate relationship with Linux so I am ready to blame everything on it. So, today, I am going to try to take a photo of the photo with the digi camera and see if that works any better. Maybe one day you will actually see the post.

Rollie

I have a cat named Rollie. Actually his name is G. Rollie named for the stadium -- G. Rollie White Coliseum -- at Texas A&M University. I had a picture of Rollie up but I took it down so I can try to put it with this blog. We shall see if I can figure it out. I really like pics with the blogs, if appropriate, so I have to figure this out. Bear with me -- it might take a while because my technical brain cell is rather small.
