your favorite little computer program hoonja-doonja (mac version)

it is!

I use backblaze and pretty happy with it though wish it could just accept that I don't plug in my external hard drive for months at a time

While we're griping, I really wish I could have my external HD eject as soon as Time Machine does its thing. For now it's plug into external monitor/hub, then hope I remember to eject the drive once backup is finished but before I unplug from the monitor.

gonna try to master this multi-touch gesture:

Show desktop
Spread your thumb and three fingers apart to show your desktop.

i always forget about that one

will try the spaces-revealer (four fingers up) too, but that means i will have to make a habit of using extra desktop spaces. i started by setting one to have its own background picture!

still enjoying having a new mac, feeling ~blessed~

- which, once you are using, also makes four fingers right / left useful too, for swiping between spaces (and the dashboard lol)

had to go back to gesture school after one too many accidental pinch-zooms in safari (which gives preview-overviews of all open tabs)

to think, the first computer my family owned had a special key just to get keystrokes to repeat

i mean it's kind of useless to me to be able to reveal the desktop now since i have gone from having 4000 files on my desktop to having zero, but still, good to know it's there, so empty and clean

i use the launcher gesture all the time. it still gives me a little minority report thrill.

i have the bottom right corner set up as show desktop. the corner hotspots are great because they work while you're dragging a file (unlike gestures). i use it a lot to drag files from browsers, etc. to the desktop without needing to hide windows.

You mean you don't always have a .5cm square of desktop on, err, which corner is it today, that you drag things to??

ha!

you have to sort by date modified on desktop imo. then the most recent nonsense is always top right. and with that hot corner, bottom right shows the whole shitshow.

hmm…don't trust it

that was my reaction - bitcoin miner, bot need, what is it?

PCalc 4 life

otm

what's wrong with the default one

no RPN no credibility

RPN all the way. Using the HP theme for full effect.

i was a math major but i could just never get with rpn

huh, interesting. i was viewing a pdf in preview, and outside of that i updated the underlying file and generated a new pdf for it, and preview automatically redrew the newest version. wouldn't have thought it would do that.

it does do that, very useful for TeX things.

Search box is my calculator

lol yes it me

someone described Pro Office Calculator as the Frog Fractions of calculators. if that sentence is not gibberish to you, it may be worth playing around with

hmmm. so it's NOT really a calculator, you're saying

i mean, it DOES work as a calculator, for a while

the finder sorts numbers in filenames in a natural-language order now!

e.g.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
07
8
9
10
11

Didn’t it always?

huh i guess the internet says it's been there since 10.0, which would mean i should have noticed it before 10.14. but i came up on system 7 and unix and got used a long time ago to prefixing the filenames i wanted to sort right with 0s

i'm still getting so much delight out of my time-warp OS upgrade, what a wonderful life

apple does this according to a sanctioned alternative of the UNICODE COLLATION ALGORITHM

i already forgot it

same

yet here i am doing it now, thinking about useful it would be

i still use fingers-together for launcher and feel like a boss every time

best reminder app for macos? like something that can just flash up the word "posture" every 30 minutes

i have settled on Time Out - it's v good

DENTAL PLAN

i just excitedly searched the app store for "dental plan"

saxamaphone, $3.99, reminder app but only for telling to get the reeds for the thingy that your daughter plays

my new coworker uses Time Out to trigger breaks, seems like there's a lot of configuration you can twiddle depending on your behavior-modification needs

bah Time Out wants me to pay a subscription SORRY MY DUDE THAT IS NOT THE WAY OF THE HOONJA DOONJA

playing around with these pomodoro things to see if i can make one work for what i want

If you spend most of your time in a browser there’s probably an extension that does this

Stand up! https://getstandapp.com

Maybe this is the hoonja-doonja Tracer Hans is looking for.

Of course it’s probably going to tell Facebook you are slouching.

hoonja doonjas must be software only!!

Chris i think yours is exactly what i'm looking for

xp what kinda dark angel fuckin shit is that?!?
