TotalFinder

I removed total finder as I believe Yosemite has upgraded its finder app and its a lot more useful now with the tabbing feature inbuilt. If I could I would use native apps where possible. The few things that the finder didn't have that I used is copy paste functions but nevertheless I can ignore them as I don't use it as much, however the sort feature with the folders on top was a must and I found a quick hack. http://mygeekdaddy.net/2014/10/16/change-yosemite-finder-app-sort-order/ sudo plutil -convert xml1 /system/library/coreservices/Finder.app/Content/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings   alter the strings to add a space before the word "Folder" sudo plutil -convert binary1 <the same file> sudo killall finder load up finder and sort by kind and we're on our way!

When life serves your lemons, oranges, lime and all the possible citrus fruits that makes you sour...

you make juices.. yes i know but its not the juice making its the process of making the juice that irks me.

life that passed by me .. and still passing

much has passed since i was last writing how i feel on this blog .. brexit, my parents, my relationship, my friendships, people who have come and gone in my life, my past, my future, my dog, my experiences, marina's columns which i've starting reading on, listening to death song over and over again. working late and getting in late in the morning makes it feel like the day ends rather quicker, have told myself to wake up earlier but it just never happens. will i regret it in time to come? having worked myself so hard has helped me to get where i am today and i am not for one to ever regret what i've done. there is always tomorrow until you stop breathing. my father speaks of himself not living past 70 sort of triggered something in me which leads to me to believe if i am ready to die? i had a quick shock in the last month with my months long swollen lymph node which required a ultrasound which followed by a CT scan as they couldn't ascertain what it was. on the da

Is it time yet?

its been a long time now .. starting to get restless.. somethings changing.. something needs to change. short attention span maybe? curious? trying to be adventurous? life's short, need it to be filled with things to do, places to see, people to meet? what becomes when you stop listening .. do i disappear into the silence or return from the void with a brand new life? will i ever find a resting place? some place i will always come home too? will i always wanna venture? will there always something else i'm after? can i ever be content?

Cathay Pacific Hacked?

Google Chrome Keep Blank

if in the event your keep notes are blank and your logged in and your gmail is fine.. its probably just chrome deciding you need to clean your browse. Clear your cache and restart chrome and you should be good as gold!

Plantronics Backbeat Pro Choppy Sounds with MBP Mid 2012 Retina

After spending a couple of hundred dollars on a BT headphones, my very first very expensive headphones (have always resorted to free headphones from Apple) its frustrating to know it doesn't work 100% on all my devices. My last expensive headphones was a Marshall wired that was purchased from BingLee for $80 almost 3 years ago, it served me so well but it deteriorated so badly that I could hardly keep the left headphones padding in place without the need to super glue the thing to the headset, so I decided I'd invest in something better and wireless (had to many encounters of having my wireless locked on door handles, arm chairs, car seats, hand brakes that I believe if I get hooked another time I would lose an ear somewhere. It twas so annoying cause it worked on everything else.. iphone, android and even my ipad but my MBP omg i could literally slap my MBP silly. One would think something like that should be easy to fix but nooooo Apple likes to make simple things difficu

Weekend away is always good every now and then. Staying across the island helps with traffic and drive was just lovely today with a great weather too.

Happy New Year 2016.

Another year has passed. Another year closer to mid life crisis. Right.. now if only i could do a year's summary of 2015 but am too lazy. Perhaps I could add a photo for every month of 2015? Nahs' to lazy! Anyways this was taken from flagstaff gardens in Melbourne, we didn't have a clue that we're sitting so close to the fireworks, it was awesome but also quite scary at the same time. Hehe. :) Whats coming in 2016? Nothing much. :) Everyday brings a new beginning. I'm not the sort to plan anymore, its quite upsetting when your plans don't go as planned but deviation makes life worth living.
