Liberated from the thralls of obtuse text

Some of my readers may remember a plea I made a year or so ago about the fact that my Blogger program had been converted to Amharic text. Everything on the screen added by the program was in this incomprehensible text. I tried everything to resolve the problem. I talked to programmers and specialists around the world and had two of my sons-in-law who are network and computer program professionals work on the problem. None of this helped and I became resolved to using the program from memory with gibberish for text options.

This last week we had all of our children here in Utah for a family reunion. The first time in ten years or so since they have all been together at the same time. My youngest son, an astro-physicist working on his PhD was here for a visit. He saw me open my program and saw the strange script. He said, "Do you still have that problem?" I said, "Of course." He sat down at my computer and in less than a minute fixed the problem.

Now I could say something about how much smarter my children are than I am. But I think this one story illustrates the issue perfectly. Now I am back to being able to read the text in the Blogger program thanks to that vastly superior intelligence.
