Like I mentioned over the weekend, I installed Ubuntu on my sister’s old laptop. Today, I went out to get a new battery for the machine – I’m charging it while I write this. Anyway, I haven’t been able to use it that much yet since I was previously tethered to a wall socket, so hopefully this changes soon.
Technology
Pushbullet
Not sure if any of you use Pushbullet but I recently discovered this app and I’ve fallen in love with it. Not a day goes by where I don’t use it – and speaking as someone who had no idea it existed until a few weeks ago, that’s saying something. For starters, Pushbullet is a handy tool that lets you push text and files from your phone to your computer (or other devices) and vice versa.
Changing Times
There’s one thing I can say about technology – it always changes. One of the most notable changes is the User Interface (UI) of a program or website we use. Many popular changes include Facebook’s Timeline UI, Windows 8’s radical Metro UI (now called Modern, I think), and most recently – Dota 2: Reborn (which I love BTW).
Regardless of what changed, one thing is for certain – there’s always going to be the vocal majority who absolutely hate the new design. Remember when people were creating petitions to ask Facebook to switch back to the old UI? Yeah, I remember.
