Hear ye, hear ye… this post is a temporary notice written because I temporarily didn’t notice that my contact form shutdown. It was like me. It looked like it was still there, but something seemed a bit off.
The contact form software that used to be installed to work on my contact page became incompatible with the latest updated version of my blogging software. I can’t remember when the update occurred, but what is amazing is that I could realize this incongruency in spite of only having had one hour of sleep last night!¹ Maybe if I hadn’t been at my computer during the wee hours of the morning puzzled over what I could do in zombie mode, I wouldn’t have “stumbled” upon my contact page wondering why it looked subtly strange.
After going to the form’s configuration settings, the lack of information I gave it long ago confirmed something wasn’t the way it should be… and this time it wasn’t me. I don’t blame any one person (be it the managers of the blogging software or the contact form’s or me). It’s simply something to be expected when one hand doesn’t know what all the other hands in the same mixing bowl are doing.
The bottom line? I have a functional contact form again, but I’m not so sure about how functional I could be if someone were to want a reasonable response. Sleep does a brain good, but when I’ll get to have some again is something God only knows.
¹My grandchildren came to visit yesterday and I didn’t notice that one of them had switched my air conditioner’s setting to money saver. Being that it’s located at the furthest end of my house from where I sleep, my bedroom became too hot for me to be able to sleep. Since I got up, my dog had to too — that meant me going outside with her so she could relieve herself, which then meant “hello insomnia!” When you’re an aspie camel carrying a load of straws along throughout each day, all it takes is one extra straw to keep breaking your back!
