B. is utterly convinced that if it pertains to computers or the internet in any way, I either did it, or if I didn’t, then I know about it and can fix it for him. On one hand, that could be annoying, but he has such absolute honest faith in my nerd-bilities that I have to say “Awww!” even as I’m thinking, “What the hell’s he on about?”

BigHugeLabs did a fun thing with Scout for Christmas. Instead of listing only the images the user had on Explore, it listed all of the user’s images with the text, “(number) of (user’s) images are completely AWESOME! Merry Christmas!”

It was called “Christmas Scout” and turning if off was as simple as clicking the link to return to normal Scout. If, however, you’re someone who does not have strong computing skills, and English is your second (actually more like fourth) language, you might not have noticed the link, and might not have understood what was going on.

Bless his heart; he sent me a message, asking me what I’d done to his photos. He said he was quite shocked and thought it was very funny, but could I please tell him how to return things to normal so that he could see how many pictures he actually had in Explore. I didn’t know what the hell he was talking about at first because I’d already turned off Christmas Scout and forgot all about it, but it finally occurred to me. Even after I explained it and told him how to turn it off (and back on, should he so desire), I’m still not convinced he believes that BigHugeLabs did it and not me. 😆
