I've grown accustomed to its face
Dec. 24th, 2011 04:19 pmMy folks are visiting us for Christmas and as a part of her being here I managed to get my mom to set up a DWth account, as ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
tulipsandquilts - a process that really opened my eyes to how complicated some of what I do all the time really is!
I've grown so accustomed to working with this particular bloggy-thing, whether in its LJ or DWth incarnation, that taking her step by step through things like the fact the blog needs a 'name' and what an icon is, how you add people and how you configure things and...and...yikes. No wonder non-computery people are sometimes intimidated by it.
When you think about it, this is really quite the futuristic, advanced life-form kind of thing to be doing. All that we need are some nice holodecks and photon torpedos and jet-packs now. Or at least one of those buttons like Mrs. Jetson had that smashed everything on the dinner table and swept it all into a hole - I want futuristic housecleaning to go with my futuristic communications now.
