“I seem to have forgot my HTML,” I said, all gloom and doom.
“Does that matter?”
“Not really. Though you’d think that after all these years, running from GML onwards that it’d be stuck in my brain well and truly.”
“Yeah, but does it matter?”
“No, of course not. It’s just that I’m wrestling with the annual index update for my journal and it is proving darn difficult.”
“Have a nice cup of coffee and see if it helps.”
Funny thing is that it did. A good deep and rich espresso along with two little caramel biscuits got my brain ticking over and I was able to get the job done. Not well, but well enough.
“What will you do now?” Graham asked, all bright and innocent.
“I think I shall learn HTML5. For the challenge, you know.”
“Ah. That’s my boy.”
Okay, Happy New Year to you and Graham. May 2012 show many improvements in your health and happiness.
That’s our Old Grey Poet!
Glad it got sorted for you, John. I’m convinced that, absent brain injury, we don’t lose our memories, but that the amount of data accumulated is so vast that it sometimes takes longer to sort down to the right level. Where do I go to get a processor upgrade?
I know what you mean – I moved my blog from WordPress.com to cloud hosting with Amazon Web Services over the holidays. It wasn’t terrible to do – but it did cause me to add a couple of extra bumps to my head.
That’s the problem with moving higher on the ladder, you forget what you did when you were on the lower rungs….
I keep telling myself that I need to learn some of the newer programs for creating web pages. However, the last one that I created (in November), I created with Front Page. Luckily the design had to be as simple as possible without bells or whistles that would cause problems for challenged readers. I can no longer write HTML. I have gotten lazy. I admire you for taking on the task of learning the updated code.
Shall I do that too? It seems more confusing to me than html. I’m feeling old.
