finds 4
Mood:  accident prone

finds 4
I am taking this time to reflect of my finds entry before I am completely finished. I am already frustrated at the technology aspect of this assignment. I found most of my finds entries relatively easy with the exception of one. I decided that I would go ahead and post what I had and then come back and add the other one when I found it. I had scanned almost everything into my picture file whenever something happened. I am still not sure what. I was attempting to scan my birth announcement (that I had forgotten I had) in whenever the scanner froze. I am not sure if I was trying to make it do something that was to much for it or not. Because the announcement was a small newspaper clipping, I tryed to have the scanner crop the image small so that you would be able to read the text, that is when the computer stopped. I was first given and error message that allowed me the option to try again. The second try also failed and then the computer completely froze and I had to end the task. Now whenever I try to open the scanner, I recieve a message that says the computer no longer has the software available to open the scanner file??? Something else must also be wrong because the images already in my picture file will not upload either. I restarted the computer once, which did not seem to help. So, I tryed to contact my boyfriend (who knows much more about this computer than me) but he is unavailable. So, I guess that I am going to walk away from this machine for a while......I hope I don't have to title my next find "Temporarily Out of Order Due to Technical Difficulties"

I am continuing my reflection of my finds 4 assignment as a comment. I am finally finishing posting my finds on this assignment. This has been the hardest assignment for me yet. Not because of the finds themselves, that was the easy part. Once again I am plagued with technical problems. My scanner keeps uninstalling itself from the computer. Intermittently it will work, but only long enough to cause more disarray than anything else. After more than a week and a half of having several people look at my computer, I was able to get some images scanned into my computer. Although initially I thought that was the hard part but, not so. I also encountered several delays trying to get my pictures into my blog. I am not sure where all the problems are stemming from. A virus on my system or just the humidity? Technical difficulties provided most but not all the obstacles to this assignment. I was able to find a newsletter that related to my life by portraying an important, daily aspect of my profession but I was not able to post it. Probably from lack of knowledge. I understood that I needed to have a j peg file to upload on the photo album but I tried to copy and paste the actually content of the newsletter into an entry but that did not work. I wasted a good hour frustrated over how to post this find. Finally I was download the newsletter into a document folder on my computer and under properties find one file for one of the images on the newsletter. I finally settled for that. Not exactly what I originally had in mind, but it works
