| Another scene taken whilst sitting in traffic on the way home the other day |
As many of you will be aware, I take most of my blogging photos on an iTouch. It's basically like an iPhone but without the phone. I also use this little device for internet things like email, a touch of shopping, browsing and of course commenting on your blogs.
Why am I telling you this?
Well, it's a very small keypad that I type on and that in conjunction with out of control predictive text I sometimes accidentally post some quirky things.
Case in point: The other night I posted on the very witty and highly entertaining Make Mine Mid Century blog.
Here is my comment...
What a lovely giveaway! I adore the pillowcase and gave been wondering what Pam's soap is like. The moomin doesn't look very impressed that she's portrayed as a purse.
I'm with you on that house - utter gorgeousness!
Stick to your guns re the bad customer service. That's such a gripe of mind too. I thought of you recently when I bought some buts from an online shop calked Larry Post as they had moomin computing in books that looked nice. Their service was good too :)
Whhhaaaattttt?????? How to make me look either insane or like an idiot, or maybe both.
Yes, okay, I should have checked it before I pressed GO but the screen is tiny and it was getting on bedtime. I did laugh when I read it, so did MMMC.
(For the record, I did not go "butt shopping" like I said I did)
On another blog I just caught myself from posting that she had some "lively thongs" rather than "lovely things" and I have also been lucky to catch myself a number of times when the word "what" came up as "shat". Simply charming, don't you think?

Soooo, in addition to a nice new DSLR, can I also put in a request to the universe for an iPad or a laptop that works properly, pretty please?
Do you guys find technology frustrating? Is it getting away from you? I started getting lost when bluetooth started popping up. And no, I am not THAT OLD!

love...xxx...
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to read this post. I often blog from my ipod touch as well. It is very tricky. Good luck with the next round of butt shopping!
ReplyDeletechuckling chuckling - and what's a blue tooth? yes i know, something you buy at the orthodontists.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think "butt shopping" would be allowed down there anymore in Hobart Town.
another thought - i got caught out recently when i wrote on a friend's card and wanted to change what i'd written and started to then couldn't work out why i couldn't delete and alter the word sequence like you can do on the screen! duh!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Sometimes the technology is a bit too smart. I'm not a fan of predictive text - how does it know what you want to say until you've said it! They should give you the option to turn it off. Anyway, makes for a funny story. xx
ReplyDeleteVery funny, it happens to me all the time as I do a lot of my blogging from the iphone...and commenting too!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny - what a muddled up comment :) Predicitve text can be a bit dangerous at times x
ReplyDeleteYou make me smile! I know what you mean with the technology thing!
ReplyDeleteLove your picture, and loved your Friday flower too!
You always take gorgeous pics! x
Too funny. Predictive text is way too confusing for me - I don't like it at all. Makes for a great laugh you have to admit!!

He he he! Now that I'm an iPhone user, I can appreciate this. Thank you for a little Monday laugh! gxo
ReplyDeleteBrilliant commenting Sarah! That predictive text is just far too clever for itself sometimes. Can I just warn you that an iPad is just as bad - not that this is a reason not to want or use one. xx
ReplyDeleteSarah I laughed so hard I cried!! But shopping? I know what you mean though the predictive texting has gotten me a few times. I can't believe you use it to do all your comments!
ReplyDeletejajaja!!! this is soooo funny!!!
ReplyDeletehugs dear
