By George, I Think I’ve Got It!

14 Jun

If I’m right, when I publish this post, you will see a You Tube video of me singing the South African National Anthem in five languages.  I wanted to show it in this post, celebrating the first year of the 101/1001 challenge, but technical problems stopped me.

You can thank the Hub – and blame him: he fixed the problem, by re-installing IE9; but he caused the problem in the first place, by doing something with the browser that shouldn’t be done; but I don’t know what it was, so I can’t tell you.  He says it wasn’t him, it was Internet Explorer; but he would say that, wouldn’t he?

All I know is, the Hub is back in his rightful place: the wrong; and I can upload videos again.

Expect a rash of posts with all the videos I’ve been dying to share, which I couldn’t, because, the Hub says, of Internet Explorer.

I suppose I ought to apologise to WordPress, because they insisted it was my browser and I insisted it wasn’t, because the Hub is infallible on computer stuff.  Which, he says, is correct; because it wasn’t him, it was Internet Explorer.

Talking of internet problems, if you are a fan of Pseu (and if not, why not?), she is having WordPress problems and cannot access her blog. 

All WordPress bloggers are having the WordPress problem of being unable to access the techies to ask for help, so I posted a request on the forum to which WordPress steered me, but there was only one response, with advice which Pseu followed, but that didn’t work.

I wonder if there’s any way I can pin it on the Hub?

    Yeeha – it opened up and I saw you – wonderful and hilarious. No, sorry, just wonderful. You certainly have guts and a great voice – hehe – and an even better laugh! Fyi it took my computer many minutes to view this so do you think I need a new computer?
    Love you Tilly! You make me laugh every single day! Juliexxx

      If you let it play in bits and pieces until it’s through, once, then replay it, it will be whole. (I have poor Internet service, too.)

    That was great Tilly! You stayed on key the whole time and that is hard to do, your laugh is lovely. I’m with you about the Hub, if he hadn’t touched the Internet Explorer the first time… The balance has been reset, you’re in the right and the male is in the wrong. All’s right with the world.Don’t tell the Hub I said that.

    Worked first time for me. I use Firefox as my Browser, Elly tells me not to use IE,

    You were terrific, well done for singing all the way through. A special thanks to the camera man, the zooming skills gave added interest.;)
