Blogger/Blogspot [still] has backend image upload problems

I posted to my Blogspot blog a few minutes, of an entry that took all day to finish only to discover that Blogger/Blogspot had been having troubles with uploaded images in what it calls “image backend problems” since late March 2010.

No, it hasn’t been resolved and I did post to Blogger’s support forum just before this [Posterous] entry, thus:

“Posted an entry a few minutes ago and did a work-around:

uploading the image to a 3rd-party image hosting site from Blogspot’s image source, then linking the image from the 3rd-party site into the post in the hope of circumventing Blogspot’s “backend” problem but I still got a blank space where the image is supposed to be.

Otherwise, all other images and videos in older posts appear fine.

Hope the problem is resolved very soon.”

I am listening to all of Nature’s collection of drum rolls in its arsenal right now.

Post scriptum

Really, when Nature puts on a show, everybody halts to listen, watch or do some inward reflection.

After all, what else can we do when caught in a light show in the mid-afternoon, with incessant rolling and barreling and banging of the skies above, and a burst, an unstoppable flow of the skies’ mighty waters that rushes our negligence away.

And then, a deafening silence. And a sigh. And then the sound of every body’s routine creeping back in, slowly breaking the hush, taking over what was, for a few minutes there, a reminder of our fragility.

meanwhile…

Here is my Saturday evening weather as posted on my posterous. It was dark at around 6 pm on my way home (two hours earlier), with some areas experiencing mean lightning streaks. The image is a grab from my imapweather.com page which I also signed on to recently.

Not so sure about heading for a dinner in Makati City now.

Take note, a rain-and-thunder weekend at the height of summer in the Philippines.
……
I didn’t go because it rained again an hour after I posted this.

Interesting…

Something interesting I found out in idle moments tonight: when I signed up for Twitter — 778 days ago today (on 10 March 2007). I don’t see anything useful with this information except that I don’t have to load all my past Twits to find out.

[Not so preposterous] posterous

I signed up with posterous.com to try it out today. Not a bad, simple blog site.

a ‘one of those days’ NTS

and so, say, when asked, what is new in the web? probably that word gets passed around faster than ever, it’s stale even before it’s posted.
