Whoa! New Editor is here!

So while reading down my friends' list, I just commented that I had not seen the new editor. Then I clicked on post and BAM! Do you want the new editor?! Well, yes, thank you, I believe I do.  Now I've forgotten all the bells and whistles I read about. This should be interesting. (It does have a 'switch to old version' link which is nice, thank you, LJ.)

It's sure nice and clean looking. I hate the serif font but that's just me being old and set in my old ways.

The Mariners lost the game last night because they played like idiots. Kansas City played like they wanted to win. Worked fine for them. But, otherwise the evening was very lovely.  I wear the same shirt — my Hawaiian Mariners shirt to every game and now people know me by my shirt. Which is kind of fun. The lady of the couple next to me in the dining room exclaimed way too loudly "I remember you because of that very cool shirt!!"

The couple who had the seats to my left stayed only until the 6th inning. The couple who had the seats to my right didn't get there until the 7th inning so I had rather a roomy night on Row H. And the fireworks were fabulous. Nicely done and just the right amount.  Walking home is getting way easier. I have been paying close attention to getting up to stretch every couple of innings and also just taking my time on the walk.

And... just like that, the new editor is gone. Sigh

I guess I blew it. When I clicked on post earlier today, I got the new editor option and selected it and got it. When I clicked on post just now, I'm back to the old. I had no objections - at least not yet - to the new. Wonder why they took it away? Wonder who I pissed off? I'm using the auto hash tag just to be mean.

I got the car without a problem. The owner was very nice and accommodating and my car is safely parked behind his condo. His car has way more pep than mine and while it's fun to drive I have to be careful. I was able to get it into my garage spot on the second try. I think I can do it on one try next time so yeah!

I spent way too much money at the fabric store but I saved a bunch. I grabbed a sandwich at MacDonalds and now I'm home. I have about an hour an a half before time to head out to the train. I have about a half hour of stuff I need to do before they get here so an hour to fuck around. That'll work.

Hey, LJ! Gimme that new editor back, plz. Also why didn't I get the Instagram/dropbox option?

Ok, got it back - the new editor, that is

I realized that this morning I was on the other chromebook. So I went into the settings on this one and cleared the cookies for livejournal and she oh so sweetly gave me the new editor option. Danke.

Adding photos from Flickr is a bit weird. The selection (after much trial and error) turns out to be Add Embedded Media. I do like the rounded corners, tho.  I don't like the one size fits all. I'm thinking that not having HTML for tweaking is going to be kind of issue-y.  I could click on the Switch to Old Version but then could I get back or would I have to do that clear cookies thing again?

So many questions... no answers.

My neighbors' trash

But, thanks to LJ Archive I was able to find the entry about these pod things.  When my whacky next door neighbors move din, I spied the movers moving this in with their stuff (And, oh crap, we've now lost the Have This Link Spawn A New Window Please option... not good). Also the link I found before is now dead. But here's another to describe this Auto Sand Bed.  And now, this miracle cure for godknowswhat is in pieces standing next to the dumpster. RIP.

Really, no html at all, not even for minor tweaks?  I think that's just not going to fly. Sigh... switching to old version...

Ok, I went back to edit this and it gave me an option to 'edit in old version' which I did - added new window option to the links and cut the photo down to a smaller version and then I went to save and spied this:


Soooo flipping back and forth to get the job done correctly is clearly not an option. Oh well. I think I'll go back to old for now. But, still, I'm glad they are working on Future Live Journal.
