Technofrustration Mark II
Posted by Nayomie Baihn on November 9, 2007
Why is it that just when you REALLY need it the technology fails you? While I understand that Edublogs needed a server upgrade; the timing could not have been worse for me
Here I am now trying like crazy to get an additional assignment completed (I must be crazy because it’s not compulsory) when I really should be concentrating on other things (such as my final assignment for Research & Inquiry).
Having used up my monthly data allowance downloading Second Life I went off to work yesterday (on my uni study day) with the specific intention of using the wireless connection there to access Edublogs so I could finish the Evaluation Criteria for Module Three. However, the best laid plans and all that stuff….. Anyway, I found that the promised server upgrade was taking place and that I could not get to the page on my blog I needed to work on. Very frustrating indeed!
Today I am stuck with the frustration of having finally at 2pm, being able to get onto my blog and actually navigate around it properly (I tried this earlier this morning and it was a non-event AGAIN). The BIG ISSUE is that I am very time poor and still speed-limited.
Funny, I actually had four more lines here and they just disappeared when the connection dropped out during publishing!!!!!
Oh joy, oh joy – you will just have to wonder because I do not have time or the patience to rewrite them!
Here we go AGAIN……………….
