Apache is still broken. I am no further in aiding her on her quest - as she's surprisingly demanding.

But, what really irks me today is that it takes a long time to register for every single photo printing service on the 'net. So, why the hell would they hide the "register with email" option?!?

Who does this?!? Monsters, that's who.

1st world problems overwhelm Maine! Film at eleven ... if we can find a server.

Oh, this is definitely first world problems.

In my defense, the power has been out since like 03:00 and the telephone was out until about 09:00.

We had some pretty good wind last night. Gusts in the 60 mph range - but that's in the valley. It was probably quite a bit faster wind speed up here. Dunno, 'cause I gave up putting those weather stations outside. Mother Nature steals them - all of them. So, I just kinda guess.

Again, pretty first world problems. 'Snot like I don't have solar and wind.

Trivia: The wind is useless today. At 34 mph, they both automatically apply breaks and 'feather' the blades. Actually, I think one is weird - they're not the same model. I think one is like 28 mph, maybe? I dunno.

Try not to laugh too hard.

I'm actually pretty sure this is the most frustrated I've been in like a decade.

That's actually a good thing - but it's infuriating. I see it as a positive, 'cause this is pretty 'trivial' but it's INSANELY FRUSTRATING.

It's not yet produced a single valuable result. None. The guys on fiverr are useless. "You'll need a custom solution for that. I'll do it for $5000!" No! I'd just as soon do it manually!

I probably should, actually. I've now invested more time trying to automate it than I'd have spent doing it manually for decades!

I'm pretty sure I should be allowed to burn a small country to the ground because of this. Pretty sure!

Oh, and it's on the same server as playguitar.gq...

So, no article today. There is one - but it doesn't like letting me in to publish it. Apache keeps crashing.

I'm pretty sure this is my fault! They're working on a fix. Do not try "Koken." It's horrible. It's just horrible.

I don't want your goddamned storefront or eCommerce solution. I just want people to be able to click the image and buy a print if they want to, 'cause that's what I was asked to do and I'll be damned if I want to have to do them all manually. I'm not okay with that and it's not like she's gonna learn how.

Also, this needing an adult to register is bullshit! I'm not an adult, I'm just old. This is absurd and no, no I will not be getting a Stripe account.

I'd sooner buy a goddamned industrial photo printer.

I even stooped so low as to examine Etsy.

Like 12 hours on this. Zero real progress.

This is horrible. I'm going to end up doing it manually.

She only wants to sell prints, too. "I don't want to sell any of that junk."

She needs to get a damned job.
