Well, I’ve been burned by the crappy standards the computer industry has accepted because of Bill Gates’ desire to become wealthy even at the cost of destroying American minds and the American computer industry.\u00c2\u00a0 I use Netgear wireless transmitters to connect to my sister’s broadband connection and Netgear, along with an open-source, group supported by Hewlett-Packard have been trying to fix up all the problems with connecting a Linux computer using hardware designed to MS’s screwball standards which are set to tie everyone to MS standards.\u00c2\u00a0 Why not just have clean connections?\u00c2\u00a0 Why not just have plain-text files for data and configuration and everything else?\u00c2\u00a0 Because Bill Gates would lose some of his control over other people’s\u00c2\u00a0 computers and computer usage.<\/p>\n
Anyway, my Netgear equipment freezes after a certain amount of time connected to the Internet.\u00c2\u00a0 My Linux-box still operates fine but I have an ice-berg of sorts blocking my access to the Internet.\u00c2\u00a0 And I lost a fairly long post.\u00c2\u00a0 While the programmers continue to work on a better wrapper around Netgear device drivers, I’ll have to figure out how to edit my blog entries in Emacs on my local box and then upload them but WordPress doesn’t\u00c2\u00a0 make it easy to do that.\u00c2\u00a0 It doesn’t even have a choice on the upload dialog box to insert a text file into the edit box.\u00c2\u00a0 All it can insert naturally is a link.\u00c2\u00a0 Why is that?<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’ll have to learn how to work entirely on my local box except for loading files up even if I have to manipulate WordPress behind the scenes, which is not how it’s designed to be used.<\/p>\n
