I find it pretty amazing that all these years later Disqus comments still work!

Re: Arizona Secretary of State in Charge of Certifying Election Results Called Trump Supporters “Neo-Nazis”

Olly S — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 14:35:53 -0000

This is a very misleading headline. She was referencing the Charlottesville rally held by white Supremacists in August 2017. She wasn't saying all Trump supporters are neo-nazis. The was condemning Trump for not calling out the actions of the neo-nazis in Charlottesville. I thought this website was all about the truth, rather than a distortion of it.

Also, the race in Arizona is not currently that tight. As of 8 p.m. Wednesday, Biden held an 11,635-vote lead over Trump in the Arizona vote count. That's a hell of a lot of votes to make up in a recount - most likely not enough to help Trump flip red.

Nice idea, but unfortunately here in the UK the selection seems pretty poor. None of the films shown above seem to appear

Could Tautulli integrate Trakt?

Maybe if Plugins weren't so difficult to use for beginners, more people would use them...

Plugins!!!!! No!!!!! What about Trakt? I use it to track my viewing habits every day, and have done for years!

Re: OS X Hackers - El Capitan Tutorial

Olly S — Sun, 26 Nov 2017 11:03:26 -0000

I have inadvertently installed the Autopatch package on to my current MacHD. Not my best move. This is my regular Macbook, not the one I am trying to install El Capitan on. How much of a mess have I made? I'm frightened to reboot. Anyway to undo the patch?

Re: Employee travel expenses

Thanks. For question 1, if claiming mileage, can I claim this mileage? Would driving to get fuel count as a business use when I use the car for personal use as well?

Re: Employee travel expenses

Olly S — Tue, 25 Oct 2016 13:43:22 -0000

I'm a sole trader and use my car for work and personal. I work from home, but spend most of my time driving to client sites. I'm trying to figure out what I can claim for on mileage.

1. If I drive to the petrol station to fill up with fuel (not as part of another journey), can I claim this?
2. If my car needs new tires, windscreen wipers, cleaning etc. can I claim this?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Timeline - The Future of the Past!

Olly S — Fri, 30 Sep 2016 02:24:59 -0000

Why not just put Timeline Past above the Sleep screen, so pressing up from a watchface goes to step count, heart rate, Sleep and finally timeline past? This adds a few more clicks to get to timeline past but most people don't use it that often, and users who do can always use a quick launch to jump directly to it. Furthermore, this would pave the way for letting users customise which of these "widgets" are displayed, and allowing third-party widgets.

Re: Kickstarter 3!! // Pebble Developers

Olly S — Sat, 28 May 2016 07:01:46 -0000

So these are more to let us see about an upcoming event should we glance at our watch? It's a way of incorporating calendar nformation and other timeine events into the watchface, correct?

Am I right in assuming that there is no way to interact with Timeline Peek notifications (e.g. dismiss them)? They simply move in and out as the day progresses, right?

Re: Kickstarter 3!! // Pebble Developers

Olly S — Sat, 28 May 2016 06:32:09 -0000

Would it not be possible to keep Timeline past but simply make it available via Timeline future instead? Surely it could work like this:

- Press Lower-Right button to open Timeline which displays the next upcoming pin the timeline. Pressing the Lower-Right button again moves us forward in time through the Timeline as normal.

- Pressing Top-Right button then lets you go back in time to view Timeline past.

- Pressing Back button returns you to the watchface.

This would keep all the Timeline features but free up the Top-Right button on the main watch face screen for use as the new Actions Launcher.

Personally, I already always use the back button to return to the watch face from Timeline, so I doubt many people would even notice much of a difference. Besides, It has always seemed counterintuitive to go via the watch face when moving from past to future and back again in the Timeline.

Now that AppFaces from the previous Kickstarter have been abandoned, can you explain how the menus will look in OS4? Will Apps have an icon in the menu?

Also, will it be possible to organise apps into folders in OS4 to make them easier to find?

What about persistently keeping an app cached on the watch?

I've been saying this since way before I knew about Kylo Ren, but ever since Girls I've thought Adam Driver would make a really interesting Indiana Jones if they reboot it.

Re: What are the best iPhone 6 wallet cases?

Olly S — Sat, 27 Jun 2015 16:39:40 -0000

You would say that, you make them. :)

Having said that, I just ordered one after researching for the ultimate iPhone 6 wallet case for days. It's a close tie with Book Book but v4 of the Sport Wallet looks awesome. :)

That may be true for the hardware, but the software updates in the last 10 months have ensured that the Steel keeps improving.

Michael,

Are you still using your wallet? I've been considering getting one but wonder whether people still find them useful with the ubiquity of smartphones these days?

Re: Getting Ready for Automatic App Updates

Olly S — Sun, 05 Oct 2014 12:24:59 -0000

If a user uninstalls an app temporarily (to make room for another one), is all data removed from the persistent storage? Is there any way to restore a user's settings if they reinstall an app at another time?

Re: Todoist – The reason I made the switch

I read this article a few days ago and promptly lost it, and have just spent close to an hour scouring my browser history to find it again! I wanted to share it because he makes some interesting points about the simple vs complex GTD solutions: http://shawnblanc.net/2014/...

A perfect solution in my view would be for IQTell to have two modes, one basic and one advanced, so users can pick and choose what works for them, but also everyone can work together on a project regardless of how involved they get in the management process. Furthermore they can switch backwards and forwards between them at anytime depending on what system they prefer.
