Computers

You know the feeling, you are staring at the computer and it won’t do what you want it to do. You want to pick the monitor up, shake it and say “Wake up to yourself. You are supposed to make my life easier!”

After my experience with Customer Service Experience Part 2, I was ready to get onto the web site to load my diagrams onto my post, Operations Dashboard for a Matrix Organisation, I needed to change them quickly as I did not believe the ones on the post were correct. I was already having problems with the yellow in diagram 3 but diagram 6 was fine the yellow was perfect. I load the new diagrams up and the yellow has turned into a dirty green! It was yellow, it is yellow in power point, it is yellow when I change to GIF file but when I load it up it is dirty green! Why?

After fidgeting around a bit, I look up support forum, it says delete these files under /include/js. I am a bit wary of deleting files from the server, don’t know what I’m doing. So I delete some files, website still works, ok, load diagrams, still dirty green! I go and delete all the files and you know what is going to happen now, I lost my website after not having for the past 36 hours, just all this script . Luckily for me there is an upgrade on the server so all I have to do is patch my wordpress, phew! Ok, it has to work now. Nope. Still dirty green. Defrag and clean my computer. Five hours later (yeah, hadn’t done it for a while), still dirty green. Ok, I’ll try and save under another directory, it’s finally yellow. YEAH! But not the same tone as diagram 2 and all the diagrams have changed size . Who cares, I’ve had it.

The next day I have one more go at it and for the first time diagram 3 has the same tone yellow as diagram 2 but diagram 6 could not get there. But why? I had not done anything different, it just decided to behave for diagram 3, only.

Why do these things happen? I mean I had been working on my website for 4 months and then all of a sudden it decides to have a complex problem. Diagram 3 which has never been the right tone of yellow is now perfect and not for diagram 6 which was the right tone before all of this! 

Do I have all this bad feng shui around me at the moment that it is also affecting my computer? Or was I just being too fussy about my yellow?
