Resuming work on Tumbler, configuring all those little things I never got to set up properly. Like the automatic rotation triggered you swivel the screen to tablet mode. Or toggle the screen orientation with the screen button.
I also setup Onboard, on-screen keyboard that looks pretty cool! So Tumbler is cool to use now.
I wish I had an SSD disk, no matter if it’s small, to make it really fly.
Tumbler’s hibernation shortcut is now working! Turns out the event was being catched by XFCE’s Power Manager. It was set to «Do Nothing» so there was a conflict there. That explains why it worked intermitently. Now it works, yay!
Opened Tumbler, I cleaned it a bit and was curious to see if I had the WWAN radio installed. A SIM port is there and I see connections in place, but no, there’s no radio adapter inside. Oh well. What would I do with it, anyway? I can’t even use Tumbler on the road, its battery is completely dead. Also, Tycho has a WWAN card and I’ve never used it.
Gave a look at Tumbler’s Bluetooth adapter, maybe I can put it on Tycho? Nope, they’re different models. Oh well.
I had the unusual itch to boot up Tumbler, my Lenovo Thinkpad X200 Tablet. I’ve set up hibernation because… don’t know, I want to move it around and since it’s battery is dead, having hibernation working is a good, useful thing.
I can’t get the Fn+F12 key shortcut to work. It’s strange. When doing acpi_listen, the event triggers, but if I try again, it does not. It works intermittently. If I lock the screen with an ACPI event, it seems to reset. Not sure.
Anyway, while it would be great to have the shortcut working, it’s not a big deal.
My Samsung Galaxy A13 smartphone has an 8-cores processor at 2GHz, 3 gigabytes of RAM and an ARM Mali-G57 950MHz GPU.
And yet, WordPerfect for DOS was zillion of magnitudes faster than editing a WordPress blog post in this thing. How have we regressed so much?
I wish my web server were in the corner of my room:
First there’s the feeling of “I made that!” which leads to the feeling of “I can make all kinds of things!” You will definitely get that more when you install the software on the web server yourself, and also when you copy over your own hand-coded text files. (The web is just text!)
Wait, what!? A The Last of Us series!? With Pedro Pascal!? So awesome!
UnDUNE II: The Demaking of a Dinasty
Speaking of Dune II, here’s a jaw-dropping port of the game to the PICO-8! What!? Mind. Blown.
One of the things I urgently need is Margin. I need to recover breathing space, my schedule and obligations have grown again this month and it’s going downhill to chaos.
My kids are growing and demand more «family time.» I saw this period of vacations as the right opportunity to have this time because of no hectic school mornings, no school presentations to prepare or homeworks to assist, early bedtimes, etc.
So how is it possible that I’m now even more busy? Can someone explain this to me? It’s madness!
I need to stop, reassess and, most importantly, start saying «NO» to a lot of things. Reject new things and prune existing things.
