CWA Mini–Sode: Dr. Smith Trolls the RSS




  “What’cha typing, Zachary?” Asked Capt. Brown, whose patience had finally been worn down by Dr. Smith’s endless typing, the noise from which rung throughout the house.
  “I’m writing a monograph for the RSS 1 on an aphid that feeds solely on the leaves of the rosa gallincanae and is only found in some parts of romania.” 2
  “Is it an important bug?” Asked Capt. Brown,
  “No.” Replied Dr. Smith. “But those cretins at the Royal Scientific Society won’t find that out until they’ve waded through over 600 pages of contradicting facts that nevertheless are completely true, philosophical conundrums where both outcomes are possible and valid and aggravatingly complete descriptions of things which bear no significance to anything, but sound like they do, written completely in obtuse terms and language that hasn’t meant what I’m saying for over a hundred years.”
  “Geez,” Cap’t Brown Replied “What did they Do to you?”
  “The denied my application. Again.”
  “Okay, I’m getting you out of the house.”
  “Yeah, maybe that’a good idea.” Admitted Dr. Smith. He got up to go get his coat and hat.
Capt. Brown hung behind for a moment, possesed by curiosity.  He unwrapped the paper from the typewriter and started to read it.
He saw that it was page 422,3 but a paragraph later he dropped it like it was on fire due to the throbbing pain in his temples and the overwhelming existential despair which consumed him.

New Hat, Old Hat










NEW HAT!

Quite excited about this actually, It’s a Golden Gate ‘St. Louis’ model CD fedora.

Same as the old one, in fact the only difference is about a [year?] of near–constant wear.

How To Leave A Comment





STEP 1: Go to STCroiss.blogspot.com. If you’re reading this, you’re probably already there. This is the FRONT PAGE, it has a long list of all the posts.



STEP 2: Click on either;

     A. The Title of the post you want to comment on;




Or

     B. Scroll to the bottom of the post you want to comment on and click [0] Comments [0] Rections {May or may not say 0, depending on whether or not there are any comments or reactions}



This will bring you to the POST PAGE, {every post has one} It’s just like the FRONT PAGE but with only one post on it.

The one you want to comment on.

SCOLL DOWN.


STEP 3: See this bit? It is the COMMENT AREA.



Now, you have a choice. EITHER:

     A. Login Now
or
     B. Login Afterwards

You’ll need to login at some point, as if you don’t your name won’t show up.
For the purposes of demonstration let’s LOGIN NOW.
There’s a login button in the upper righthand corner of the COMMENT AREA, press that.

A thingy will pop up; the LOGIN THINGY



 This is the default option, and it’s an OKAY option but not really the best one, as it won’t remember you and you’ll have to type in your name every time.
I would only use this option if you already have a disqus profile to feed it.

Along the left side are OTHER options,

  • Google
  • Twitter
  • Facebook
  • Yahoo
  • OpenID

I would suggest THESE options, as there is no typing if you’re already logged into any of those things.

For the purposes of demonstration, let’s choose Google.
{The Process is the same for any of the other options.}




STEP 4:

Select “Sign in with Google” A popup will…pop up. THIS IS OKAY.

Press the “Allow” button.

Now, after you do this, you should never have to login again, the computer should remember you.

STEP 5:

Remember the COMMENT AREA?


As per the prompt type in your comment.


Then, in the bottom lefthand corner of the COMMENT AREA Press the POST AS [YOUR NAME HERE] button.

STEP 6: 


Wait for me to approve the comment you just wrote. This may take a whole day, it may take no time at all. 


STEP 7:
