The Big Birthday Party

Recently, my boss told me that her son is about to have his very first birthday party. I am amazed at all the work this seems to involve. Not only do you have to get the must have presents perfect for the boy who is about to turn one year old, but also there is a lot of thought involved about how to plan a party where lots of other small children are going to be. Most of them will be between one and two years old. This can be pretty chaotic if you ask me!

Another thing I noticed is that in addition to gifts, a lot of attention is being paid to preparations for games and invitations. I guess it is pretty important to keep that many small children occupied and happy, unless you want to hear a lot of crying and screaming!

I did notice that my boss spent a lot of time picking out just the right birthday invitations for her son's party. When she asked me for help in choosing a design, I was happy to help. I got pretty hooked on going through them all, trying to find just the perfect one. I think this birthday party is going to be a great success! There is even going to be a caterer!

Now all that is left to do is order the balloons and the miniature pony that is going to be the 'surprise' for the kids. I wonder if a one year old should have a pony at his birthday, but I'm sure there will be a few children there old enough to enjoy a ride, not to mention all the moms will have several adorable photo opportunities!

Writer's Block and a Deadline

Everyone has something they are good at; I'm a writer.  I have been hired as a freelance writer on multiple occasions, to the benefit of both parties.  I have written many different types of custom writing for various clients, depending on their needs and my knowledge of the subject they need written about.  Sometimes, though, after a long while of not doing much on the writing front, my skills can get somewhat rusty.  Enter every writers nightmare: writer's block.  Sometimes inspiration can be difficult to come by so it's necessary to have several sources at hand to give a boost when needed.  If ever I get stuck on a particularly technical piece or with a subject I know little about, I can always get a professional to write my essay .  I can always turn to writers with advanced postgraduate degrees and professional business experience to help me get a paper that I can use as a source for my work.  It's nice to know that I don't have to worry abo...

Fixing Speed Dial in Opera 11.10

In case this doesn't get fixed in the final version of Opera 11.10, here is the fix for the giant speed dial boxes that scroll, thereby defeating the purpose of speed dial in the first place.  In the address box type the following with no spaces  about:config  Then, in the search box, type speed dial, which will bring up the speed dial config section under user prefs box, there are some options: number of columns, speed dial file, state, etc.  Under speed dial zoom level, lower the amount from 100% to about 70%.  This will make it look about like before.  Enjoy!

Photobucket Sucks

This is going to be a 'Douche of the Day' award post that I usually do on my Wordpress blog . I was a happy Photobucket user for 11 years.  That's a long time to stick with a service so they were obviously a good one.  I was completely happy with the services provided on my free account and a couple of times, I made use of the print store in order to make custom gifts for loved ones for various occasions. Then all of a sudden, in 2017, they start sending me nagware. For those unfamiliar, nagware consists of popups/emails/messages etc that 'nag' you to buy their product. It's irritating, true, but not a deal breaker since I had a free account.  I just unsubscribed to the nagmails and just put up with it on the site. Then, however, Photobucket decided to do something I consider to be truly despicable. They made it to where you CANNOT download your photo albums (for backup or for account changes).  They actually REMOVED the download album links.  Why is that p...
