More Slideshare Presentation Crap
What a pain in the wazooo! So yeah, I've been trying to figure out why my legacy slideshows aren't showing correctly on slideshare. Either slides are missing or the text is on the wrong slides or gone all together. It's actually a good thing no one has read my update since it wouldn't make an ounce of sense to them.
I've tried reuploading the presentations in hopes that it's just a conversion gone bad. But alas, no. Still no luck. I've filed for a help request since I do have a loyalty to slideshare and want to fix this. I mean, I've never really had an issue with them before. But I'm also on the lookout for another presentation site. I can't use Authorstream since I don't use powerpoint. Though I'm beginning to think I should. I've used it in the past and never had any problems with embedding on authorstream and the conversion always came out well.
So for now, the only way to read my update properly is to download it from slideshare. But that's a hassle too since you need Open Office (free software that can be googled and downloaded) on your computer to repair the corrupted file. After that, it looks perfect, as I intended.
What a pain. All that hardwork and I gotta deal with this bullshit. Honestly, what's the point of working on something for months just so that the hosting site can fuck it up? And really, what up with dat? Slideshare is a hosting site. That's what they do. HOST! And they can't even do that shit right. I mean, I can't even embed my shit from there anymore (though that may just be livejournal). I just want shit to work so I can set it and forget it. I don't have time to keep changing sites because they don't want to work right.
I could just scream right now. I've got way too much real life shit on my plate to deal with this bullshit.
Yesterday my husband informs me that we don't have rent money... again. It's like, everytime I leave him to handle that stuff, this happens. So we're looking at eviction. But that shit is cake compared to today. This morning he was pulled over and arrested for driving with a suspended license. He's looking at a felony and jailtime because he was a habitual offender in the past. I'm not even upset at him for that. It couldn't be helped. He has to work, he's got to make a living and he's got no one dependable to carpool with. Besides, his license was suspended 3 years ago and he's driven like an angel since. He wasn't even speeding this morning. Just some bored cop who felt like running his tags at 5am. It's like, we can't catch a break.
Don't know why I'm even writing all this. It's just too much and I have to get it off my chest. It's nice to vent and feel anonymous and yet noticed at the same time, I guess. Way to kick off the fucking new year, huh?
