I am shedding negativity. It feels really good! I don’t read or interact with authors that focus on negativity anymore. Why? In part, because they aren’t going to change. In part because I am getting rid of negativity.
Technology post catches up:
- We are, based on my post of the weekend, three days into fermentation of my first batch of beer. I doubt our first attempt is going to be epic. Beer making is a craft, and it takes time to learn. My expectations for this first batch have been lowered on purpose. A good friend of mine brews beer, and it has become a part-time job for him (there are several restaurants that buy his beer now). He always says beer making is slow and steady work.
- McAfee Software protection, I’ve been running it for the past few months. Overall it works very well as a virus and malware protection system.
- The first couple of 3d prints have gone well with the Snapmaker. We switched to the laser engraving attachment last weekend. We are going to try laser engraving this weekend.
- Fing home internet security is a very useful tool. They now send you a monthly internet review. It gives you your average upload, download, and connections. Very useful report from a device that allows you to block devices connecting to your home, and from within your home connecting out
- Technologies I am watching right now:
- Voice translation – I use my Travis frequently; it allows me to keep my phone free for other activities. You can’t talk, translate, and take pictures if you only have google translate.
- Pico projectors, there are a couple of crowdfunding projects in this space that is interesting. Nebula and Touchpond are the two projectors I use now. We shall see if that changes.
- Jabra continues to impress with their noise canceling headsets. I had a call the other night and ended up taking the call while walking my dog. No one on the call knew I was outside walking while talking on the call!
Overall technology continues to expand. The fun reality of IoE and the impending launch of widely available 5g network services is interesting. The new craze for some reason in the concept of foldable phones. I thought flip phones had well joined the dinosaurs. Can you image 1000 years from now, someone digging an archaeological dig in what is now a dump, then will be an underground area that used to be where ancient humans live. “Look,” the explorer says “they used to have folding communication devices that you held in your hand.” Foldable is interesting, but I am waiting for the first truly integrated earpiece that is your phone, and headset. That is the future I am waiting for!

That’s good news for a wise decision. Avoiding negativity is the first step to shedding negativity or avoiding its influence.
That is what I am seeking, Albert. to shed the influence of negativity. I know that as a person I seek the order of rules. Those who choose to throw rules out bother me. I also know that I cannot accept those who only post negative things and never return with positives when the negative thing is fixed.
I know that order is important to me. But I am learning to relax and let the negative energy flow away!
I don’t think we need to focus too much on negative things because we will only lose energy in vain.
that is very true. Thanks for the gentle guidance.
Well, you know that I am not writing at the moment and why, but I refuse to bash a site that did pay me. I walk away from toxic too.
Don`t you have 2 dogs?
Oh I have been pinning every post I commented on. 🙂
Thanks, Andria. I love your line I won’t bash a site that pays me. That is my new mantra!
I do have two dogs, two Labs in fact!
I am not bored with technology, I accidentally clicked the wrong box!
Thanks, Shaun! I am a huge geek so technology is really important to me!
it is good to walk away from negative things, you don’t need them in your life. only boring technology bores me…
It is. I will still call out the negativity and the authors that are negative but I am no longer reading their posts.
Now the concept of boring technology –
I think (personally) the creation of Chef Cookbooks, is at best boring!
I made a coloring book once, and it was a pretty boring task…
I will bet the person that got the book loved it!
it didn’t sell much, but got great reviews. weird…
The critical acclaim doesn’t put food on the table…
no, it doesn’t. hence the lack of a sequel
I am not bored with technology, mostly it just confuses me! lol
Many years ago my grandfather got access to a computer. He learned to send emails. I was working in IT managing a mail system so I would respond to his emails in short order.
My mom only had email at home. She responded a day or so after it was sent.
My grandfather called me at home one evening worried. Mom hadn’t responded to his email. I had to explain to him the reality of my job versus mom’s job and access to a computer.
Now that isn’t the case, but that still makes me laugh!
Again a very interesting post. I also like to read some post on technology (although I am a woman ?). I’ve learned a lot of new things in your posts.
Thank you again for the kind words! 🙂
I truly believe in the equality of technology – all can learn and all can use it!
I find this interesting to me. I am removing many problems on the laptop itself. What I know about computers, programs, applications, etc. I learned myself
That is always a good way when you learn yourself. Then you know how things work!
I agree. I do not regret that I have this knowledge.
In life, we always have a choice to open or close our doors. ?
That sounds family 😉
I decided I am not dealing with things that bother me anymore. I am moving on!
Good decision. Because it is hard to keep anger or grudge in our hearts. It dims our light ?
it was familiar not family.
I wish to let my light shine!
I thought you were joking. Among some office friends before, we usually used the phrase “sounds family” when we mean “sounds familiar”. We also say “don’t me” when we mean “don’t try to fool/dare me”. I guess, we are fond of reinventing english ???
English is the most reinvented language in the history of the universe.
Write whatever you feel writing. Isn’t this Virily all about?
Certainly, the people i read and respect are awesome. I am just not reading negativity anymore!
you are the second person who says something about negative, but i have not read any negative article here
Do you read everyone that posts? I can share a few negative posts. Negative also means information pr7esented that isn’t “validated.”
ahhh nevermind. it is good thing that i did not see them haha… i am fine with the posts that I have read.
sadly I’ve run into quite a few from specific writers here on the site. I avoid them now!!!!!!
ok, what works for you.
That is true, it is wholly what works for me.
Fair, which means you present both the good and the bad, is the most important thing after all!
perfect, this is a nice positive attitude!!! see what negative comments can make you, it can give you positive attitude.
Being Fair is important. My dad used to say if you only present one side, it is not your audiences fault if they don’t understand.
yup… i agree, as they say, the coin has two sides.
It does. That is why I comment on every post that starts out with the Dashboard is broken, or we aren’t getting Virils for social media shares.
The first isn’t broken, just not updated often.
The second is nearly impossible to do correctly.
ohhhh okay seriously i have not seen these articles, good thing that they are approved. ?
sadly there is a lot of them. They often start out with what is wrong with Virily. Which is fine, every platform has issues. but they end there. They don’t come and say later its fixed.
ahhh … good thing that i was spared from them. phew!!!
I just ignore them now, moving on.
cool, that’s the best.
