Melantrys’ Page

Either that, or I do.

Today I wanted to add a picture to my profile. No problem, blogspot points people to a program that can upload and host them and ties in nicely with blogspot. Got the link from the “edit your profile” section.
After I failed to find a way of uploading that picture and obtaining the URL, I read the help and followed it step by step. Which results in creating a post with said picture in. Which was not what I wanted at all. But this seems to be the only way to obtain the picture’s URL. Because then you can look it up in the post, copy/paste it to your profile and delete the obsolete post. I couldn’t find any other frigging way and soon tired of that picture-uploading-wannabe-chat-client thing by the name of “hello”.

Do I need to mention that trying to add a frame to the pic showed no results?

So I was pissed and unhappy about the whole thing and removed the picture URL from my profile. But does that remove the picture from my blog? No, of course it doesn’t. Why should it? After all that’s what I wanted to do now - remove the damned pic. Maybe I should try to find “good-bye” and download it…
I thought, ok, it seems logical that removing the URL will remove the picture, but maybe that is not the way it is done.
Luckily blogspot is offering a large help section online. Unfortunately I only found help in uploading pictures, none for removing them.
But you can also upload an audio file, which seems to work on the same principle. And there was help for removing the audio file. Now guess what the help read? Yup, “remove the URL in the “edit your profile” section”. So I did it right. Why, oh why doesn’t it work then….?

*wrings hands in frustration*

“Pin me down” Zak is singing on my Winamp. No, up, mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I’m giving up on changing the colours and images of this page for the moment or else I’ll be up till it’s time to go to work again.

Damn, is the weekend really already over?

Anyway, I am sure that you will all share my grief concerning my okra plants, which seem to be dead now for sure. The new warmth spell came a few days too late.
*§$*#%* this filthy German weather! I mean, what else could I have done except putting them in our greenhouse thingy…? Bah.
Maybe I should really try to raise one in my living-room…. I want fresh ones for a change.

I also ran out of sweets and chips. Maybe I should just go to bed?

Good morning faithful readers (*sighs* Yes, I know that I don’t have any, but somebody might stumble onto this place )!

Please excuse violent colour changes and clashes. Obviously I’m toying around with the look of this thing. This might take a while. Please have patience. Tons thereof.

Thank you.

Ok, so I was not happy with my MSN blog, let’s see if this one works better.
Don’t really have anything to say now; I just want to get this baby out of its cradle.

So… welcome new blog!
