Greetings, everyone! You may have noticed that Tectra hasn’t been very active lately. This is partly because I have started working on a new program for Windows called PodStream. It is a very cool project, but it is also very time-consuming to write. If you’re interested in learning more about PodStream, you should check out this Tweet. I am also in the process of updating ComplimentMe. I am currently waiting for the update to be reviewed and approved by the Google Play team. Problem is, COVID-19 has caused review times to be a lot longer than usual, due to adjusted work schedules at Google.

However, I have a feeling that things will start to pick up again shortly. Stay tuned for more updates! |

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 ...
