Can I just say I was filled with rage today when I was asked to assist a person with a technical issue, and the first time they suggested was 12PM-1PM? I honestly understand that folks are busy with meetings throughout the work day, but lunch is not a free space. No.
I didn’t expect to enjoy lavender in my coffee as much as I do.
The Big Mash-Up by Airiel.
Five stars. Would recommend.
Somehow I made it to 1PM without needing the Authenticator app on my work phone. Which means I didn’t realize I had left my work phone in my car this morning. My gratitude to the FindMy app which showed me a truth I could hardly believe.
Maybe, if the weather was bad overnight so the commute was a challenge even after a co-worker asked for one more thing before you left the house, and the coffee in your travel mug tastes good, and you’re already late, maybe Rob Zombie can finish his song before you go inside.
IOS Pet Peeve (Includes iPadOS): Processing Notifications from the Lock Screen and the Device Goes to Sleep.
In practice, I pick up device so it wakes and shows the Lock Screen. I see a stunning number of notifications. I start swiping and tapping to manage them, and then even though I’m holding the device in front of my face, FaceID doesn’t, and the screen sleeps in mid swipe or between taps. Now, I have to wake the device a second time, make sure FaceID happens, go the Home Screen where hopefully I’m not completely distracted by icon notifications, hope I’m pulling down from the portion of the screen that will allow me to process the notifications I was trying to process, and start again.
American Dreaming by Dead Can Dance
Five stars, Would Recommend
Well, my Hogwarts Legacy level 16 character has already surpassed my previous level 20 character in terms of ability. And, I was able to defeat the Acromantula that I could not previously get past. A couple of tips I ran across have been invaluable.
Afternoon project and soundtrack:
I’ve been doing technology support for three decades. It is so disappointing after all this time that sometimes what you need for an app to do what it was designed to do is to quit and restart. Not to do something special, just for the app to what its designers intended, that base functionality.
