The concert took place in Andrea Bocelli\'s hometown, Lajatico. The venue was not exactly in the city itself, but in an open air amphitheater in the middle of the Tuscan hills.It looked like it just came straight out of a painting

Oh fun! Right? Well… yeah not really. I was planning to do update some functionalities on my blog. I wanted to have the nested comment thing because as it turned out, my theme didn’t support that. I made my own theme based on an old WordPress theme, so it means I’d have to add this functionality myself.
Being a sometimes snobbish geek girl, I tried to hack my way to adding this to the php code. HA! Not working except for adding some unnecessary hairfall on my part. I should’ve known better to look for some tutorial first. Such as this one. That would definitely make my life easier
.
*headdesk*. Lesson learned.

So, I’m currently trying to redesign my blog again. Nothing too fancy on the design (so far) but still, it means I have to do some more work with Photoshop.
Now I got this bug again and again several time. No matter what tool I chose on Photoshop, it only shows the hand tool [will post a screenshot when it happens again]. At first I thought: “Okay, I have a bajillion thing on my memory it must screw it up. And I haven’t restart for a couple of days so let’s do that.” But after it happens more than once in a day. I start to pull out my hair a little bit.
One google search came up with this:

*relieved that I’m not the only one*
I summarized a couple of things you can do to solve it from there:
- Restart the computer (a pain, but take it as a reminder if you haven’t restart for weeks
)
- Pretend nothing happened, go procrastinate for a couple of mins and see if something had changed.
- Go to Edit > Preferences > General (or Ctrl-K) and then click Reset all Warning Dialogs
- CTRL + ALT + SHIFT at startup and delete preferences
- Press the space bar or caps lock
Update: Last time it happened again, the space bar solution seemed to work best. The reset all warning didn’t work at all for me. So I guess it might be depends on the problem of your computer all together.
