i'm in shock. for the first time, i managed to figure out the alien html template of this blog and get the original line spacing back. i don't know why but when i switched to the new "customised" blog layout (colours! a more organised blog archive! and one of the Bible verses that i try to live by!), some of my posts looked so squashed together. and as all my friends wouldn't be surprised to know, this bugged me a lot. =P but html is the bane of my life. well, just when i was about to give up, it worked. wow. haha.

my other recent tech triumphs:

1) i got my scanner working again. even though i can print stuff, i can't scan stuff. and it's supposed to be a 3-in-1 machine! maybe i deleted the scanner programme by mistake (oops). anyhow, i re-installed everything and now it's back. yay! :D

2) i discovered that there was an easier way of transferring pics from the camera to the macbook. i can just slot my memory stick into that 3-in-1 machine (so now i've utilised all three functions of the machine!). yes. sigh. i used to do it the USB way, which could be quite troublesome.
[edit: it's not working anymore!!!]

3) i discovered microsoft word's format painter. why why why??? why did i only find out after school ended? this is like the best tool for someone who JUST LIKES EVERYTHING TO BE NICELY FORMATTED. haha oh man sincere apologies to all my project mates who had to put up with me these three years while i painstakingly formatted everything bit by bit. my jaw seriously dropped when kai-lin showed me how to do it the other day.

ok so even though all these came rather late, but but but... better late than never! :) be my project mate next time in uni and i'll make it up to you. i'll serve everyone around me better in future. now i can scan things, upload pics, etc etc. i can be EFFICIENT. :)
