Well, phooey, rats!

This was spowsed to be our announcement of our video.. but... mom haz run into a noo problem at da noo video site! 

She got da video all edited & uploaded just fine, no problems, but then, it has to 'convert' on da website... an at furst it said 'will start converting in 5 min...'  .. an it did.  But, then it stopped, and put us at da back of da line, an said 'in 22 min.' 

So, mom went owt to do sum yardwork before it got dark, an when she came back in, and clicked 'save & finish' ...she got a error message dat said, "Der wuz a problem converting your video.  We'll try again & e-mail you when it's ready to view.  It might take a few hours."

Well, MEOWF!!  A few hours???  OMC.. dat will make it tomorrow before anyone can sees it!!  And we purromised our fans it would be up today!!  We iz gonna go hiss at da video site, now!

OH BOY!! OH BOY!! OH BOY!!!

We iz dancing jigs today! Mom haz purromised to shoot our video today!!! So, we may have TWO posts, dis annowncement one, and den annoder wif da video linky.


Now, since mom haz taken so long abowt gitting around to it, wot do you finks we should do? Should we act all excited and play and put on a good show, or should we takes revenge an refewse to do anyfing but lay around nappin? Hmm... tough choice!


And we wants to fank all our furrineds once again who stopped by to wish Tigger & Munchkin a happy purrthday yesterdee. Mom wuz furry touched by all da nice wishes an greetings.

Oh, an on anodder issue...haz any of our furriends noticed sometimes a furry strange problem wif some comments? Mom came in & looked at our comments from yesterdee, wif all da purrfday wishes fur Tigger & Munchkin, and der were 2 noo ones. Or so she thot.
When she went to read dem, nothing wuz there 'cept a bunch of little empty squares and dots. "2-squares said, ".(whole buncha squares and dots)" "
and another one just the same, but "3-squares said... "
We haz seen dat happen before, an mom usully jus deletes them, cuz no point leaving a comment no one can read.... Haz dat happened to any of you?

Video Furrustrashuns!

Mom wuz practicin' wif her crafty video, to learn how to upload it to da You Tube, so she can share da linky on herz crafty blog.  Den, she would haff all da skills she needs to put our video up.  Howefurr, der haz been a delay.

Da furst time she tried to upload it, it took over an hour, and then when it looked as if it had finished, and she hit 'play,' she got a message dat said, "Rejected:  too long."  Okay, well, it wuz too long, an she knew dat, kind of.  But da instruckshuns did not specifically say you could not upload longer than 10 minute videos--dey only said 'for best viewing.' 

So mom wuz furry mads, becuz she has watched videos on der dat are longer than 10 minutes.  Humph!  So, she left it go fur a day or two, and den did a re-edit, and cut it down, and tried again. 

This time, is said it wuz an 'invalid file type" or sum such nonsense.  So, mom looked up in da 'help' stuffs, and found a explanashun fur dat, and fixed dat problem.  Then, she uploaded da new edit again.  It went faster, but after it said 'success!' and she went to see the 'my videos' menu, it said, 'processing; please wait.  So, she went owt to her karate lesson, and when she came back, offurr an hour later, it still said da same thing.

She wuz getting furry upset.  So, she thot she would try da 'play' button, and again, up in her face with the 'Rejected:  too long' stoopid message.  What The Hisss????   Too long???  Has to be not offurr 10 minits, and now she haz it edited down to only 7 minits and a few sekkinds?  How kin it still be too long???!!!

Then, she looks up at all da info, an fur sum stoooooopppid reason, da You Tube is NOT reading da new edited length, but only seeing da 'raw file data' and the original 28-minit length!!  Mom iz not happy rite now!  She could not find anyfing abowt dis in da 'helps,' so she put owt a post on da You Tube forum help board, but haz not got any ansers yet.

Does any of our furrineds know how to fix dis problem?    Mom is a techie dummy, an she is furry frustrated wif dis process.  An we are gittin impatient fur our video to be posted!!
