Thinking about reusing some of the containers from storage, I did a search for how long stuff takes to decompose, because I’m pretty sure the plastic containers we bought when I was like 5 will outlive me by multiple generations. Plastic like that does pretty much last forever, and will probably be found in the rubble of some post apocalyptic event.

Strangely, the note that styrofoam doesn’t biodegrade, just makes me remember stories I’ve heard over the years from people’s childhoods, which I’ll just describe as why you shouldn’t try to make Greek Fire at home….lololol

Sad truths: when your tablet doesn’t come with a calculator and you don’t mind, because you end up in Safari so much that you may as well use Google as a calculator.

Ya know, I’ve never really cared about multimedia shortcuts on my keyboards.

As I sit here with my music player to one side and an Evernote window to the other, I’m kinda glad that my keyboard has a play/pause button. It makes transcribing the lyrics to a song much easier, lol.

Rule of Acquisition 286, when Morn leaves, it’s all over.

If I ran a bar, and Morn left without being forced to, I’d probably announce doomsday as well.

Somewhat sad thoughts about the fate of a great tablet

Possible use cases for the great Scarlett:

  1. An overpowered picture frame; home or office.
  2. Mount it on the pantry door for quick shopping list / music control.
  3. World’s most feature packed house clock.
These are all good ideas, if a touch sad considering it’s a great device aside from the cracked screen.

Iffy UI: Sort -> “By collections” to see how you’ve organized your books.

Good UI: long touching a collection and being able to download them all at once.

Yep, I knew there was something that I liked about the Kindle app.

A difference in printing:

Android:

  1. Office printer too old. Use third party app.
  2. Configure printer.
  3. Just works(tm).
  4. Open file from cloud storage.
  5. Save as new file to cloud storage.
  6. Go print -> select this printer from OS print dialog.

iOS:

  1. Office printer too old. Use third party app.
  2. Configure printer.
  3. Test page is binary.
  4. Fuck it, i”ll just use LInux.

Debian:

  1. CUPS does everything.
  2. Download file from cloud storage.
  3. Edit file and save as new file.
  4. Upload new file.
  5. Print.
It’s not very often that I print at work but there are usually two use cases. One is I sometimes have to print out Excel files as part of getting paid. The other is I sometimes need to print out my notes for sharing, either by paper or PDF.
For the most part, looks like printing from the iPad is not going to be a thing. Where as my Android was actually my least effort way to print stuff.
On the flip side, iOS apps more often offer the option to print shit than Android ones. For example, Evernote has a print option in its menus for iOS but on Android, you need to go through a browser or get a machine with any other client app.
