Toothgrind

The 'picture upload' tool on Blogger keeps on freezing.  Hence yesterday's frivolous little post on my lifelong love of Monopoly not finally getting posted until after midnight, although I'd written it in the early afternoon.  Galling.

The 'Help' forums indicate that this problem has been rife for at least two weeks now.  Beyond galling.

The wrinkle can usually be ironed out by the tiresome expedient of logging out of Blogger and logging back in again.  But really, Blogger tech squad, could you not DO SOMETHING about this??

Google in general and Blogger in specific may be reaching a state of "too complex to get right," I fear. Not that I could do so -- the point, really, being that no one individual and no group of individuals, no matter how many, can fix any one thing without breaking something else.

There's a software-development-and-quality practice called regression testing, in which each change (including new features) requires testing of all facets of all previously installed features before moving on to the next change, and so on. Taken to its logical conclusion, this would mean that nothing would ever get delivered in a product like Google/Blogger, especially when you start to link the pieces together as Google loves to do. I've pretty much given up even trying to consult the Help forums, except when in the mood for the companionship of other miserables.
