Day 72: I Am Quite Cross About Not Being Bill Gates













It's not like I haven't done anything, but the Thing (of which I offer you a tantalising glimpse above), is a PowerPoint slide. And I can't insert it into Blogger as an image, and if I save it as a GIF, JPEG, ASBO (etc), you can't read it properly when you open it up. The font pixellates or summat.

I am off to Wimbledon to have an unspeakable cosmetic medical procedure administered, but if anyone knows how I can make this thing Happen from a Mac onto Blogger without hurting myself, do let me know. You'll be awfully glad you did.

You could use Preview to take a screen grab (File/grab/window), crop the grabbed image as necessary (click and drag then tools/crop) and save from there in the format required.

WHen I clicks it it gets big and I can reads it, mostly. Tis funny, but then my eyes get all a-hurty.

What dave said would work. Just paste the screenshot into Paint and save as a .jpg or .png. I find .png files easier to read, for some reason.

I can see it already, when I increase the size. Impressive. Must've taken ages.

I was able to read by enlarging it and squinting horribly which probably means I now have monkey wrinkles where before I had none.

It is very funny and also quite clever. How did you do those zooming arrow things? No, truly, I don't want to know, but I feel it is now be time to consider your future, even if it might imperil your status as a monkey of the non-working type. Or you could repaint your monkey cage. Or darn your little monkey socks.

Or go for therapy.

Dave 'n' Kav - I will try this thing you suggest. I am not sure however that my monkey paws can manipulate the keyboard and also WHERE IS PAINT? I AM I.T. RUBBISH.

Maman - oddly enough I was darning my little monkey socks last night. You do the arrows in Powerpoint. 15 years doing presentations no-one wants to see + 3 PAs who can't use powerpoint = good at arrows. And - what, MORE therapy? Impossible.

Johnnyboy has already pointed out via email that my line goes in the wrong direction, i.e. time/weight loss, but he is a Scientist and will be receiving an Imaginary Slap Upside The Head sometimes soon for a) being right and b) pointing out what I knew after I'd done it and couldn't just couldn't face re-doing it.

wish me luck. I'm going in.

If you changed "weight lost" to just "weight" then the line would work (as would the phrase "about 5 stone too much").
