Continuing on the tech theme, I write today from the office. It’s been many weeks since this was possible, all due to a log-in problem I could have solved much sooner had I just switched browsers.

Switching browsers is often the remedy to the problem at hand. I should know this by now. Is there a stubborn streak at work here? Am I making things more difficult by failing to switch browsers first?

Possibly, but it’s unconscious on my part. It’s part of being a digital emigre, someone not born to swim in these waters. I may find a solution, eventually, but it will never be an easy one. It’s as if my brain circuits won’t work that way.

Maybe writing this post will help me remember that before I pull my hair out, before I decide to completely redo my blog (which I hope will happen soon anyway), it’s better to take one simple, elegant action — switch browsers.
