Eventful day

[wiseheart]

I was nervous like a monkey all morning, waiting for the Vodafone One tech guy to bring our new modem. To keep at least my hands occupied, I actually finished the politically incorrect, garish elephant. Mum actually liked it, but Mum basically likes all the little things I make out of paper or felt, so that doesn't really say anything. By the time I was done it was already too dark to take a decent photo, so I'll be doing that tomorrow.

Tech guy was young, friendly and competent. It wasn't his fault that the iPad mini is too old to deal with the new modem. He promised to come back on Saturday and try to do some system update on the mini; I hope he'll be more successful than my young cousin, since he actually has a service laptop. We'll see. I'd be happy to read on the mini again, as its screen is better lit and the background neutral, unlike the new iPad's with its psychedelic colours. The person who designed it should be shot. Or forced to stare at their own creations for the rest of their life.

After tech guy left, I deflated like a punctured balloon. A good thing that I had cooked for two days in advance yesterday. Potato casserole, baked in the oven, is every bit as yummy warmed up as it is when fresh. Tomorrow I'll pay our corner coffee a visit and buy some celebratory croissans and perhaps even a babka, if they have it. My nerves need sugar to recover - lots of it!

The new iPad's settings can't be changed?

The new iPad works like a charm. It's the old mini that has issues.

I meant to change the colours on the new one ...

Oh, I see. It's most likely possible, I'm just too dumb to do it without help. Ah, the good old times when I could simply walk into a 7th or 8th-term class and ask the kids to do such things for me!

I hope they can fix your iPad.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me, too.

I hope the new modem works well. Here, they just arrive in a box, with a set of instructions. We're on our own. Fun! I hope he manages to do something with the mini.

I'd be doomed if I had to do it myself. I'd have to beg my neighbours for help, which is always sooo embarrassing!

I don't have an Ipad but a Samsung- but it's not that hard to change the colour setting!

You have no idea about my clumsiness — and my ingrained deadly fear — when it comes to tech stuff.
