My desktop, January 26, 2012. The two horizontal graphs are my CPU load and the pie graph is my RAM usage (Menu Meters).
Update: By the way, I have my dock indicator lights turned off. Most of those applications are open.

This is my Tumblog. This isn't my "real" blog, but rather a collection of random thoughts and junk that floats through my head that aren't relevant or polished enough for my real blog.

Christmas crackers. Yay.

Of all my Christmas presents, this is probably one of the most exciting. Only on the first chapter still, but it’s been hard to put down the times I’ve dove into it.
And yes, that is a red floppy diskette in the background…

When the system gets in the way of education, you have a problem.

My desktop: November 26th, 2011.
Following with last month’s post, I plan to post a screenshot of my desktop every month. It’ll be interesting to see some of the changes of not only the picture, but the dock icons and placement, etc.

Why Paper.li Doesn’t Work
Paper.li, if you don’t know, is a social media aggregator of sorts that pulls in other people’s blog posts and tweets and spams out a tweet to all of them. Well, today two of my posts got sucked into one of these “papers”, and the irony was quite amusing.
The paper’s topic was something to do with freelancing. I clicked on it only to see what it had pulled in… It was a surprise.
Paper.li pulled in my blog post about NaNoWriMo, and my video of my band playing at my school. Pretty much the opposite of the topic of the paper, yet my stuff was included. I do tweet about freelance stuff as well, but I guess the bot couldn’t tell the difference between a concert video and a link to a web design article.
So I laughed, closed the tab, and carried on.
Paper.li is bringing absolutely no value to the world. So, please, stop using it and maybe it will go away, if we could be so lucky.

Swirling
Flash is slowly being killed off by Adobe. To us who have an opposition to Flash, this is good news. Adobe has just announced they’re cutting off Flash on mobile devices, TVs, and pretty much every device that isn’t a desktop.
What does this signify? It signifies that Adobe sees the Flash has passed its prime, and are pushing modern, better alternatives (HTML5).
Adobe has lost interest in Flash; they see that it’s simply not worth it to carry on supporting a technology that has seen better days and, now, has some real competition as standards slowly catch up.

Why? I don’t know. Simply for archive’s sake. I’ll try to do one of these per month. It’ll be interesting to see what changes and such.
