Introducing QuickLinks!

Introducing QuickLinks!

12/7/2019

 
Last Monday, I hinted that a big project was in the works. Today, I am happy to announce that QuickLinks, the latest and greatest Windows program from Tectra, has been released! If you want to easily visit websites with only one click, you'll definitely like QuickLinks.
What makes QuickLinks unique is that it lets you add shortcuts to websites in the Window's notification area. This uses up less screen real estate than an icon pinned to your taskbar or a bookmark in your browser. Furthermore, it also lets you store different link profiles depending on your workday, something that makes it superior to the previously mentioned alternative options. You can also use it to start system processes such as the command prompt or calculator. I won't go into great detail on how it works in this post, as the QuickLinks page covers all of that.
I really hope you like QuickLinks! If you need help getting started, feel free to send me an email. Thank you for reading this post and have a nice 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 ...
