It is basically http://mail.office365.com in an electron shell. I’m pretty sure all the non ‘classic’ apps are this way now. I’m currently trying out Thunderbird to see if I like it.

Not sure recently, had the same issue and busted 2 deathadders within 12 months of purchase. The clicker had a little stem to push the switch which cracked off. Ended up getting a zowie next and haven’t had any issues.

Sure, ultimately I dismissed it at the time as a fancy iPod and chose a Nokia.

At the time iPhone 1 didn’t seem like anything smarter than an iPod that could take calls. I was hyped over the Nokia 770 and eager to see what else would come out with Meamo OS. It took till mid 2008 until iPhone 3G and iOS 2 (and app store) were released.

That’s a continuation of TA Spring? Neat, played that a looong time ago.

Be careful out there…

Haven’t done this type of optimizing in a long time, I had a quick look at the network graph for your front page (F12 dev tools in desktop browser), my understanding is it looks like you are getting blocked from loading additional resources (fonts + background) until your style sheets are fully read --pink line is document loaded i believe.

It may be worthwhile to experiment with adding some preload links to the html template? or output? like below and assessing if it makes things faster for you.

On auto save: on small files auto save can be a good idea, as long as it is easy to jump through revisions.

I’d recommend https://www.typingclub.com/ for specifically learning touch typing with finger placement etc.

or https://www.keybr.com/ to focus on words containing keys I struggle with.

I found with the few ‘public speaking’ presentations I did during school, writing down what I was going to say made me more diligent about information/points to bring forward and what phrasing to use. I suspect all this time spent on one specific thing greatly helped commit the topic to memory and by the time of presentation I didn’t need to rely on prompts to get my point across.

Still a banger

A corporate ‘promise’ is a verbal unenforceable contract. What do you even do with the promise of a habitual liar?

I have a lot of repetition in my job (CAD modeller). Even just knowing keyboard shortcuts & setting up shortcuts for frequently used operations can easily net me 5 seconds per operation. I want to spend my energy on solving the task at hand, not on how to use the tool in the moment. I don’t want to move the mouse away from the work area if I can help it.

Maybe not as frequent 5 per day - but scripts for really bottom of the barrel stuff:

• Cycle thru all currently open drawing documents, zoom to full page and force save.
  • zoom out ensures drawing can be identified from document thumbnail.
  • the software is known to crash, especially editing drawings.
  • easy 10mins duplicated work saved.
• Printing all open drawings out to the office printer in order with a delay between them, so i don’t spend the next 20 minutes manually sorting the drawing prints.
  • printers don’t always print in incoming order, some documents take longer to process.
• find/replace for text notes
  • the software doesn’t have that feature.
