...and 5!

Sorry, but I'm currently at my Spanish blog, at twitter, at tumblr ...you name it!
Check the links above ;-)

4 years already!

Google Calendar just beeped me: it's 4 years since I started O.K.! O.K.!

I know I've neglected this blog, and am too busy tweeting away or frenetically adding blurred pics to Flickr, or having a beer or two with my friends, going to some concert -or even working!:P

I've mentioned this anniversary on my Spanish blog -with a parallel post, slightly different- and I can not resist the idea of recommending you, English readers to check out the great idea Papel Contínuo has had: they've compiled a CD worth of great '70s and '80s songs, plus a couple of current bands, related to ghoulish stories suitable for Halloween: Tonadillas para un Guateque de Jalogüín ;-)



See you soon, I hope, and have fun!

Back to Basic (s?)

Over a year ago I found out which file extension I am. I'd swear I'd taken the Programming Language test too, but I may have drafted it soemwhere and left it fall into oblivion.

Tiem to find out which programming laungage I am today -as usual, I guess if I took the same test in a different mood, I'd have replied differently and become something more exciting... Though I DO love the GOTO:Hell idea ;-)

Which Programming Language are You?

By the way, I DID get to program in BASIC, way back in my teens. One of the two girls in the computer group at school :D

New error encountered

001 java.io.IOException: No space left on deviceblog/56/1/okokitsme/archives/2006_08_01_okokitsme_archive.html

... what?

Still alive

...but not kicking. Sick of football. Sorry, Mousey!

So what do you think about Beta?

Just wondering.

By the way, I can't migrate yet, would like to know from people who can.

AND... don't know what I typed in last night to do the Beta trial, I can't get back in today :(

Missy Pro Blogger, there I go again!

UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED!

Erased your blog by mistake?

After seeing how many people at the Google Blogger Help Group are as silly as I was and manage to delete their blogs by mistake, and after making a way-too-long comment on Blogger for Dummies, a highly recommended place to get your blogging ABC, I decided to copy and paste the said comment I made, so as to make a post out of it and have it handy as a reference instead of going on and on and on at the Blogger Help Group about this matter.

The big news is this: Blogger CAN RESCUE your deleted blog.

It happened to me in February, while playing around with my Spanish*, much more active, blog Ok, ok, it's me!. As I was trying out a specially complicated hack I decided I'd open a new temporary blog to ruin completely, and not use the one I already have for template experiments... but when I had to copy part of my good blog and opened a new window to have both templates available at the same time, I should have felt that ominous feeling... which didn't come until the second after clicking the "erase" button. As my finger was on the down movement a pray the mouse would get stuck came instantly, when I saw the name on the bar...

At the time of deleting I had 455 posts -a tad too many for the cache rescue, which is what I frantically did while waiting for reply from Blogger. So I would like to encourge people to try this -although getting a grip of caches in the meanwhile is also reassuring:

OH NO! I DELETED MY BLOG!

1. Immediately, OPEN A NEW BLOG -under your same username- WITH THE SAME URL (the name you should see on the bar) of the deleted blog. This is VERY important, so that no-one can claim that URL on purpose or unknowing your problem. You can paste there your template, that should be saved as Peter explains every time you change it, and the cache versions of the latest posts, at least, and -in my case I did this- an explanatory post so that readers know why the archives etc are gone.
2. Before all the cache recovering and pasting, SEND AN E-MAIL TO BLOGGER SUPPORT explaining what has happened. You shall get an automatic reply within a day or two, but don't let that put you off: Blogger seems to have a centralized staff for the whole worldwide community, so they get rid of silly questions like that. REPLY TO THE AUTOMATIC E-MAIL YOU RECEIVED and state clearly what happened, that you erased your blog by mistake.
3. Now you can go through caches, cry and tear your hair out or write 10,000 times 'I shall not click on a button without reading it' while you wait for the next, personal, email you shall get from Blogger. A staff member shall contact you and ask a couple of questions but IT DOES TAKE A WEEK OR TWO -In my case, about two weeks. Once in touch with a Real Person, though, I got my whole blog back again, comments and all, and a warning that the new version i had done meanwhile to keep my URL would be replaced when I republished. So,
4. Make the temporary blog a new one, if you have been posting actively in the mean time, by modifying its URL before republishing. This way, you shall have your old blog, a new temp one to copy&paste posts from and a lesson learnt -one hopes!
   

Exchange of e-mails between Blogger Support and me -It finally happened!

Don't worry,

I know it looks weird but am fiddling on the HTML.

You know how I do the "bit by bit" changes, so it'll take a while till I get it fine!

Freedom in Blogdom

As I was aha-ing and ahum-ing to my bosses over the phone a moment ago, I checked Bloglines for my favourite feeds and bumped into this.

I'll quote the introduction:

Blogs have given individuals of any and every background the ability to freely speak their minds and share information with anyone who chooses to read it, at any time they wish to do so. Bloglines was created for people as a window to access this world of dynamic content and a way to participate in its creation. We believe blogs have helped enable an open exchange of information that has never before been possible. As some of you may have heard, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) is reviewing its regulations concerning political speech on the Internet, including blog activity. Bloglines is committed to the continuation of open exchanges of information and opinions throughout the blogosphere and the Internet in general. Today, the Committee on House Administration is having a hearing on this issue. In the spirit of these beliefs, I have provided the Committee with the following statement.

Follow the link to read the statement... and tell me once more that All Americans Are Bush

Fortunately, THEY ARE NOT ALL BLINDFOLDED REDNECKS.

Soon to come...

• Changes on the template. But when I have time to do it, and a secure pc... Am usin lousy cibers now because they are cheap, and sometimes they don't even warn you of your remaining time... You can guess the rest ;)
• Pics from my trip to Colera, nera Portbou... beautiful place, just waiting for my photos to develop ;)
• Dedication. There I go, I am feeling like coming back to this blog a bit more often again, so...

And, I hope, a few changes in my personal life. Am making my mind up -now it's a matter of actually going ahead with it!

Somehow, I could have guessed...

Yet another silly test I needed to try ;D

I'm Krusty, who are you? by NoHomers.net

Tell you why I was so silent...

...Because I was concentrating on my new career. That, and more in the Okokitsme mood.

Right, first I was studying, and had a load of homework to see to. Also, dedicating ever sooo much time to jobhunting, and getting involved with a few blogs and bloggers who kept reading my Other Blog, specially because it was in Spanish -but not only.

I didn't have much time to blog here too. Nor did I feel like the thoughts were for this one, but the other blog.

Take it as it is, or forget about it. I know a few other people with more than one blog, and they tend to do this sort of thing every now and then too. So enough about this.

Then this new job turned up. Very promising, but really hard to get used to -once again, loads of new info to get used to, and if this time I didn't have to learn by heart the codes for medical equipment and every little dangly bitty in plastic or wire we may need to replace, I did have to get deeply involved in Procedures, and corrections, and almost forcing people into sticking to newly implanted procedures in a nice, happy-go-lucky environment. And try not to be the Bitch From Hell to them.

Which seems to have been the case. Quite integrated now in the team, I've been given the assistant they'd promised me for September. She has started today. And I have been given a higher pay rise than agreed, and after only a month and a half, instead of the six months we'd accepted.

So, I guess, it was well worth dropping this blog for a while ;)

But am back.

P.S.: For those of you who used to read me... Summer Season has been officially inaugurated... New lovers Whiskey&Red Bull Artistic and Cultural activities for free in the street, freedom after work... You know what I mean ;)

Back at last

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Shame on me and all that shit shite stuff. Blah blah blah.

Funny how who most complains is who regularly reads my active blog and, probably, hasn't bothered checking the secretarial one -no wonder! ;)

As soon as I get my stuff organized, I'll be posting here again. Summer >> No son around >> more spare time after work >> loadsastuff to read, gals!

See you soon... and if you do really miss me, let me know ;)

By the way...

I admit I've abandoned this blog a bit, while posting up to twice a day -or more- on what was supposed to be the Alter Ego. In fact, have seen some signs of decay coming up. But as am gradually getting back to my Jeckyll moods, and shaking out Mr. Hyde, I guess I'll get back into these shoes soon.

One of the main reasons is I got read by quite a few bloggers who I appreciate and who wouldn't follow me in English, so I got used to my Spanish blog. Another reason is, as I stated when I created it, that I was not feeling comfortable with my old blog... but that's over now. I've seen the same old thing happen elsewhere so I know I'm not the only one out there getting in and out of blog-moods ;)

It's funny, I don't usually go for this sort of thing, but it came from my Birthday Alarms for free... and its quite accurate!!! Ô_o -What do you think, Mary-Anne, Vel? -better than the .extension thingy yesterday :P

Fun (?) ;)

Going through Brian's page I just had to take this test.


Which File Extension are You?

Yes, you guessed it: I found a cheaper cyber un town ;)

Hour&half at ciber + a can of Red Bull (R)

Not been too avaolable on this blog, though you can catch me up on the B-sides...

Money driving me mad, getting less from the State from this month on since I've been on the dole for over 6 months -which no-one had been bothered to inform me about!

The other thing is the looong selection process O'd been in has ended with a virtual tie-up between me and someone else, and guess who was finally left out? Sigh times 300!

Anyway, down to the cyber with a can of Red Bull (R), to check on job offers once again, and set my mind to work.
