Yes, I still owe you posts from China. I'm working on it. Just trying to get some technical aspects figured out because I want things to be easier ...
But, I did want to let you all know that I have some more trips in the near future.
- A 3-day jaunt to Florida for meetings next week -- hoping it's sunny and warm-ish so I can work on my tan.
- A long weekend in Panama starting March 6. Beach time with good friends and cocktails are involved with that one. Will take a lot of pictures, and time with those friends always produces good stories.
- A week-long sojourn in Vancouver and April for meetings. I love Vancouver, and haven't had more than a night there in years, so that will be exciting.
- At least one if not two trips to San Francisco -- one in August, and maybe one this spring. A combo of work and family visits.
- Trying to get to my parent's in Wyoming in April for some spring skiing (400" of snow so far this year means spring skiing should be good). Plus, a dear friend is having a baby in May and I'd love to attend the shower.
- Also trying to get to Oregon to see my college gals.
- Lobbying for work trips to India (Mumbai) this Spring, Stockholm this summer, and anywhere else they want to send me!
Will post about China this weekend, and Florida once I return.
All I want to do is read an article on salon.com, but for some reason MyYahoo keeps getting in the way. When I try to click on a link, or enter salon.com in the address bar, the page loads in this MyYahoo thing. Even when I see the article listed in the MyYahoo thing, and click on the link to it, the same MyYahoo page loads. It's like groundhogs day (the movie) over and overf AGAIN. I can't seem to get out of the stupid MyYahoo view and into salon.com. This is apparently some new co-branding that Yahoo and Salon have done, but to me, the user it is just annouying. In fact, events like this REALLY REALLY annoy me. As someone who is professionally interested in usability -- sites that are not user-friendly tend to drive me nuts! I just want to read the article. I don't want to add it to MyYahoo ... I don't want to use MyYahoo. I want nothing to do with it. In fact, I want to tell them how much it sucks, but of course I can't find a link to do that either. *sigh*
And, while I am on this topic ... the fact that I can't find a "sign in" link on the upper-right side of my vox blog when I am not logged in to vox also frustrates me. It makes signing in a two or three click process and that is just not cool with me. I swear there used to be a sign-in link up there, but it has disappeared. Instead it lives at the very bottom of the page on the right, and I find scrolling all the way down there cumbersome.
I'm done ranting. I feel better.
China pics and posts to come. I've been delayed ... the first weekend back I was sidelined by the worst cold I've ever had. The next weekend I procrastinated by unpacking and cleaning my room. This weekend I was having far too much fun with friends. I promise I'll get back on track soon.
