There are a lot of people who have been key, at least in hindsight, to my development.
I haven’t really thought about populating this topic, but at a glance..

A PlayStation 2 controller macro device.
This is a middleman between a standard PlayStation 2 controller and the console. It can also be chained through to a USB adapter or other such device, to ultimately let an original PS2 controller work with a computer.
Unfortunately, this has an limited number of button presses that it can do! I think it’s 9 or 10.

If you want macro functionality and use a PS/2 controller adapter for a PC game, consider AutoHotkey.

A program for various WordPress functions, so you can script/automate or just do things at the commandline.
An essential time-saver.

Its first impression is that it’s sort of Star Trek parody-thing, it quickly unfolds into its own unique space-adventure-drama.
Fantastic originality and mood. Recommended, rapidly approaching highly recommended.
Verdict: While it’s good, it’s not great, at least not for me. I got bored in the first couple of episodes of season two. Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoyed the first several episodes.
Like other shows these days, I became interested in this purely because “those people” “hate” it.

An amazing (and amazingly-expensive) DVD ripper. Can work with other disks.
I’ve used this to back up my old DVD discs into .iso files.

Well-being / Health > Mental health, Relaxation >
-
A conscious act of will.
- An inward version is to pursue awareness, mindfulness or the like.
- An outward / practical version is to focus one’s thoughts on something — to reflect on or ponder over. This is the receiving end of point 3, below.
-
Clearing one’s thoughts.
- For relaxation, or to more spiritually seek something akin to Enlightenment.
— Variously described: “No mind”, “empty mind”, etc.
- For relaxation, or to more spiritually seek something akin to Enlightenment.
-
“A Meditation” is a discourse intended to express its author’s reflections or to guide others in contemplation.
- This is the “sending” end of point 1b.
— Variously described: “Consider this deeply”, “Selah“, etc.
- This is the “sending” end of point 1b.
The first two are components of Enlightenment and often lead to the experience of an Epiphany. Some version is an instinctive aspect of genius, often seen in sharpening the saw.

A very inexpensive yet capable phone.
At a glance, it seems okay. Android and every app I’ve seen have many UI flaws, but that’s not the X20’s fault.
After a week of use, I have to say this is a fantastic phone. It’s the perfect beginner’s smartphone and there’s nothing I’ve done that’s been limited in any way whatsoever by its specifications. I have not run out of storage or memory.. not even close. Do note that I haven’t played any games, and I probably never will.
I am really ticked that it doesn’t have OTG support, so I can’t use the microSD for anything but charging. Powering off, pulling my charging dongle out, removing the half-case, removing the battery cover, removing the battery and moving the SD card back and forth is an awful, awful, way for me to edit files.
-
The minimum volume is way too loud.
- The bottom microUSB port works for a USB key.
- Warning: See BLU Products for drama surrounding a company that deals with Doogee products. It has spyware.
- Warning: Has BeautySnap – (Android spyware) (which might be uninstallable)

An operating system most notably on mobile phones, but also found on media boxes.
Fundamentally flawed – It is tethered to Google in as many ways as they’ve made possible. From a time server, to internet traffic compression. From google play requiring an account requiring your verified phone number. From hoops to download and install software from their store. It’s fucking awful.

Small, concise, full-featured and overall incredible. This is an essential part of my toolkit.
