Exciting new update for Sidebar!

10/31/2019

 
Hello, everyone! I have some very exciting news. Sidebar just got an exciting new update! This update introduces some new features and improves some old ones. Keep reading to learn more about what's new.
What's new:
  • Quick links: Want to visit a website with just a few clicks? If so, Sidebar's newest feature will be interesting to you. Sidebar now features several quick links to popular websites. Neat!
  • Dark mode: Like most software in 2019, Sidebar has received a dark mode. There is also an option to turn on dark mode at night and switch to the light mode in the daytime. Pretty handy!
  • Refinements: I have made Sidebar look nicer and moved the close, restart, and shut down buttons to the new "Other" tab. I have also made some other small refinements to the design and code.
  • ​Bug fixes: I have fixed a few bugs. Hooray!
While the list of features isn't very long, this is still a very big update. For this reason, I'd encourage you to try it out! If you want to download it, you can visit the Sidebar page. You can also take a look at the new dark mode there.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!

What's in John's Backpack? (EDC)

I may no longer be a computer science major, but I'm still fascinated by electronics of all kinds. That's why I take great pleasure in writing about my "everyday carry," that being the devices that I regularly take along with me. These are often being swapped around, as I am an enthusiast at heart, but some of these have stuck around for a long time. So, here's the list: Phone: iPhone 15 Pro (128 GB) It's a very nice phone. That's about all I have to say about it. Like most people, I'm pretty apathetic toward iPhones. I prefer iOS for my needs, and it does what I need it to. 'Nuff said. Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...
