Orbit DownloaderI made some notes about this awhile back because I’ve seen people asking about it. What does “start sniffer” mean? This is an adjunct to the post Orbit Downloader. …[continued]

The Action MachineBy the end of Day 2 I’d come to a different idea about setting up my timers. Having one for ‘maintenance’ is too distracting. I don’t need to be reminded about checking email, logging into my various accounts, upgrades, updates, data backup, etc. They’re already like breathing. …[continued]

The Action MachineI got up late and did not make a list before I started my day. That was a mistake. Just winging it, this is what happened: …[continued]

The Action MachineI set a variety of small maintenance tasks on their own timers, decided that was too complicated and lumped them all into one called Maintenance. I’m testing this at 1 hour/day: email, logging into various accounts, data backup.

That’s an hour a day spent just treading water. I’m hoping to lower that. …[continued]

The Action MachineIn talking about time management previously, I suggested that you make a list first thing in the morning (or the night before) about what your plans are for that day. Say, rather than get carried away trying to manage endless to-do lists all the way into next month and next year. We overstretch and then feel defeated when we can’t keep up. No matter what we do it’s never enough. I speak from decades of experience in overwhelming myself. …[continued]

File Search & Edit

XnViewAwhile ago I was talking about Opanda IExif Viewer and how handy it is as a quick metadata and GPS viewer. I’m not so thrilled anymore since I’ve discovered it doesn’t work on all my jpg’s, just some of them. I’m past having patience for half-assed IPTC software. ExifToolGUI works, Photo Mechanic works, XnView works. Software that can’t keep up should get out of the game and stop being so irritating. …[continued]

USB Headset

The wasps are still living in my mirror for now but I did purchase enough cayenne pepper to choke a horse and I’m dreaming up slathering on a mix of pepper and certified hexane-free castor oil to slow them down. I’ve read that yellow-jackets are known to be aggressive and to defend their nests to the death. Lucky me. I went back downtown today with Snoopy (I presume) on top of the mirror; all sprawled out and comfy, apparently suntanning his way across town. …[continued]

I noticed awhile ago that a wasp had taken up residence in the driver’s side mirror of my car – a 10+ year old foreign model in case you’re wondering. …[continued]

The economy is twisting this way and that and people are doing whatever they’re doing to make a good thing out of lemons. This is not always done with the highest regard for integrity and the feelings of others. ‘Tis the way of the world, sigh. …[continued]

Fototagger

Fototagger came up as a subject in today’s Scanfest. I wouldn’t mention it except that I said I would. I downloaded it, looked around a bit and here’s what I think. …[continued]
