Hi, everyone! I know I haven't been super active lately, as I've been busy with my job (had some training last week) and making some major improvements to my other big project, Pocket PC Planet. (I have been working on a post system for it in PHP) Additionally, I've had school to worry about, which has also taken up a decent bit of time. For these reasons, I haven't been able to work on a ton of Tectra stuff this month. Thankfully, if things go as planned, I'll hopefully be able to work on some Tectra projects over the next few days. However, in the meantime, I thought I'd release a small update for a project I hadn't worked on in a while. I decided that I wanted this project to be Owner Info, one of my Palm OS apps! As a result, I'm happy to report that Owner Info v1.2 has been completed, and it is available for download! This update makes a few UI improvements, adds some shortcuts, and fixes a few things. Enjoy! |

Thus, it became my daily driver up until I upgraded to a 2017 MacBook Air a few months ago. That being said, I’ve still been using it some, so I thought I’d briefly share how it’s holding up these days. Here are my thoughts on this miniature Macintosh one year later! Performance Over the last year, I’ve been impressed by how much this Mac can handle. It’s rocking a 2.6 GHz dual-core Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and a Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB SATA SSD. What all that jargon essentially means is that it’s a moderately powerful little computer, although it certainly isn’t going to put newer Macs to shame. Regardless, I’ve been able to do lots of coding, video editing, and schoolwork on this computer, and it has generally worked pretty well. Granted, it can take a while to
