Task 15: The Nighmare Task

Not only am I really hungry right now and have two more hours of work and only one little child-sized granola bar to eat, but I'm also really frustrated by this task. I looked at other people's blogs and saw that everyone was having the same problem, so that made me feel a little better--but I'm still hungry. I just wanted to use the Clipy thingy to show you guys this super awesome video footage of Anne Frank (if you haven't already) and now I'll just have to give you the link. LINK I hope you can figure out what I intended for you to look at since you're seeing a whole entire web page, and not just the parts I would've clipped for you.

The task description made it sound so simple, but in application it was a living nightmare (almost as bad as the one I had about my library card being replaced and my number being changed). I think trying unsuccessfully to use Clipmarks put a damper on my whole afternoon, but at least I have taco night to look forward to. I'm not sure that I'd use it very much even if it were working properly. I'm not on the Internet very much, nor do I search for stuff on it. I usually only get on to check my email and do Webolution. I heard about the Anne Frank footage on the radio.

I seriously tried at least four or five times to upload my clips to my blog and each time it said it was successful. Why, why would it lie to me?

  1. Nice link. This is the msg I got:

    Sorry, something went wrong.

    A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation.

    Followed by stuff that made no sense.

  2. Wow, you're not kidding. I'll try to change/fix it (although if the monkeys can't figure it out, I don't know what I'll be able to do) because it's actually pretty cool (unless, of course you're someone whose name starts with J and ends with dan).
