Techno Crap

I've been having some issues with my phone syncing up with my computer recently--it hasn't been. I've connected and reconnected each end of the tether, but it doesn't see the phone. I've rebooted the phone and the computer, reconnected the tethers, and pounded the phone on the counter.

Clearly, something is amiss.

I don't actually enter my appointments on my phone--I hate the itty-bitty keyboard--which is also why I'm a text-o-phobe, but I do check to see if something is conflicting. Therefore this lack of technical meeting of minds is irritating.

Anyhoo, hubster (techno-geek that he is) took the phone to work (they use the same phones and have had issues with them) to wipe the memory and restart it with factory settings. Well, I had taken a few pictures on the phone, mainly when the kiddo had her hair cut and she donated it to Locks of Love. He pulled the pics and saved them for me. But they sucked. They were blurry, out of focus and just plain lousy.

I thought it was me. I thought I'd jiggled the camera, or rubbed my finger over the lens, etc. Turns out the little plastic protective thingy was still covering the camera lens.

Huh, talk about feeling stupid . . .

So, of course, he had to point it out, and took before and after shots at his office to show me the difference. Basically, made me feel horrible. I'd missed a milestone in my daughter's life by an oversight.

Until I remember that I didn't set up the phone--the hubster did. Not my fault!

And YES, I did point that out to him. HA!!

Techno-geek waves his hand over something and I'm given a computerized whatchamacallit that is up and running. I used to ask to read the manual, but he's always say 'why bother when I can take care of it for you'. I gave him the 'what if you get run over by a car' argument, but it falls on deaf ears. So I stopped asking and let him do his techno-geek thing.

So while he resynced my phone to my computer. He notices that I haven't had the auto updates in awhile.

I looked him in the eye and said as blandly as I could. "Couldn't have been me. Remember, I don't have a clue about this stuff." And walked away.

I now have an updated computer and phone. And since he hasn't bought a computer in awhile, he's going shopping to update mine.

Write on!
