When the sun rises and the caffeine hits
It looks like I started using 1Password after I stopped using ICQ and AIM and all of the others. Out of nostalgia I looked to see if I had any login info recorded. I was fond of Trillium and Pidgin and it seems like there were some Adobe AIR applications in there somewhere, too.
The enhanced 75th anniversary version of The Hobbit is on sale, today, on the Kindle store for $1.99.
Starting the day with the surprise delivery of Flat Whites
“…a towel has immense psychological value”
Amazing how things change. I saw an article about Atari finally winning the original n war with their purchase of Intellivision. I had an Intellivision, but all my friends had Atari. Then Colecovision had way better home versions of arcade games (in those days). Atari always had greater mindshare.
Changed a display panel for my “home theater” system for a bigger one. Suddenly the HDMI cable from the receiver to the display was an issue. The one that had worked wonderfully for years needed to be replaced. Now, for the first time evar, the AppleTV realizes it’s connected to a receiver. What?
I am amused when things are described as MacBook killers, or iPhone killers. If they aren’t running MacOS or iOS, how are they pretending to compete? I’ve used Windows computers since 1995, Macs since 2005. They are not made for the same audiences. Most minds are made up.
At the Expo with the Oddities
ugh. 7 gig download to restore an iPad with a Home button.
Aurora in Minnesota
Looking up toward Arcturus
I have ADHD. The extent to which my intent and my results do not match is death by 1000 paper cuts
I work in IT. Every “problem” I “solve” creates concerns about deeper issues I cannot address in my role. After a long carreer of this, the more I feel like my “answers” are glib, or shallow, and are only work-arounds at best. Everywhere I look, I see the proverbial bailing wire and twine.
Wiping some iPhones at work. I suppose I should not be too surprised the restore images are 5 gigs or more
Record Club is taking sign-ups from their wait list
My excuse is that I was really hungry, but I can honestly say that the experience of eating a taco in my car was worse than I feared.
MSP Home Tour coverage on CBS, yesterday.
We have a green kitchen.
I overheard this snippet at my house, this morning: “…Producers bid on the segments…”
There was a camera in my house today in support of the MSP Home Tour. We’re house #4. If we make it on air, I’ll share a link to the final piece.
How does your team onboard new members? Who shows them what applications are used and how? Who shows them where the data is and verifies they have access? Who helps them to meet team members of other teams? Who makes sure the new managers have all of the information they need?
Asking for a friend
And sometimes I pick the wrong distro. Back to familiar turf, for now
Trying a Linux distribution I’ve not tried before, and an email client I haven’t used for decades. I’m not interested in suggestions in the Start Menu nor AI features. I get plenty of Microsoft via my employer. I’m interested in AI but I’m not convinced I need it
TIL that one’s custom email address isn’t exactly how one retrieves iCloud email. That single detail could have saved significant pain before today, but I got in. So I have that.
This love of the written word extends to my media consumption. I rarely choose video. The amount of time that passes in introductions or reviews before the actual presentation of new information is excrutiating. Can I just see a transcript?
To be honest, I feel that written communication allows me to show my best self in a way that eludes me in the moment.
