Octua 16 has been released, and it's epic!

3/17/2020

 
I'm just going to cut to the chase. Octua 16 is the biggest update that the program has ever seen. I have added countless features, fixed a ton of bugs, and have improved the user interface in a major way. In this post, I will go over all of the changes that I have made to Octua. (that I can remember) I think this is going to be pretty exciting!
What's new:
  • Darker UI: I have made the user interface a bit darker.  It's not a  genuine dark mode, but it's still awesome.
  • New font, larger menus: I have increased the size of the tools menu and changed the main font from Open Sans to Verdana.
  • History: Octua now saves your history. It logs your visited sites and saves them in a text file, which you can view or remove at any time.
  • Identity change: Google doesn't allow embedded Chromium browsers to sign into accounts anymore. As a result, Octua now pretends to be Firefox to avoid this issue. It's not the most elegant solution, but it works pretty well.
  • Find: You can now find text on websites.
  • Save images: Octua can now save images.
  • Copy link address: You can also copy link addresses now to your clipboard.
  • Bug Fixes: I have squashed a lot of bugs. Octua works much better now. Hooray!
Whew... that was a long list of changes and new features. The crazy thing is that I didn't even cover everything in this update! I left out a few minor things in the interest of keeping this post relatively short.
This update has been very time-consuming to make, but it was worth it. Writing Octua 16 was a lot of fun!  As a result, I really hope you like it. I think the new version of Octua is pretty epic!

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 ...
