Plans for Late September and October 2021

Hey, everyone! It is once again time for another post regarding future plans, and this one is for late September and all of October 2021. As usual, I have quite a bit planned, but I am also busier than ever at the moment. So, keep in mind that some of these plans may not come to fruition on time or at all. That said, there is a lot to be excited about, and here are the things that I hope to do in the next month or so:

Major Violoncello for Android Update: I have been working on the Android version of Violoncello a great deal lately. I am hoping to release a pretty major update for it sometime in the next month or so. There is still plenty left to do, but I think this update will be worth the wait!
Violoncello for iOS Improvements: If you're a Violoncello for iOS user, you also have a ton to be excited about! I have several plans for this version of the app, and though I will probably be focusing on its Android counterpart first, I hope to release a major update for Violoncello for iOS sooner rather than later.
LinkBoard Update: If I have time, I could also definitely see myself releasing an update for LinkBoard in October.
Other Projects: If time permits, I may also release a few updates for projects I haven't mentioned here.

While I have been very busy lately, I have still been hard at work on several different projects over the last few weeks. With any luck, I'll be able to continue working on improving these projects and release some updates for them soon. Anyway, be sure to stay tuned for more updates, and as always, thanks for reading!

Late 2014 Mac mini in 2022 - Still Worth Buying?

About a year ago, I reviewed the 2014 Mac mini on this blog. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that it was still an excellent machine for productivity tasks, but it could also handle some more intense things you threw at it. 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

Violoncello for Windows is finally here!

Hi, everyone! Ever since I first started working on it over a month ago, I have spent countless hours creating and perfecting Violoncello for Windows. Featuring a slick and minimal UI, lots of customization options, and support for Windows versions going all the way back to XP, I am very pleased with how the Windows version of Violoncello has turned out. As a result, I am very excited to announce that Violoncello for Windows has finally been released! Violoncello for Windows is packed with features, some of which are found in the mobile version, and others that are not. Some of these include: Open in main browser: Easily open the page you are currently viewing in Violoncello in your default browser! Custom search engine: Choose from Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, or set your own. Lots of customization: Change the background and text colors, and choose a font. Bookmarks: Easily manage and visit bookmarks. Jump to top: Quickly jump to the top of a page. (0, 0) Those are most of the

Weird Cars I (Really) Want

Hey, y’all. Today, we’re talking about cars again. Good thing they’re super neat! This time, we’re going to discuss 5 exceedingly strange cars that I want to own. I should clarify that these cars were not necessarily ugly or strange at the time they were released, but they’re not particularly pleasant to look at or own now. So, let’s dive in. Fiat 126 This car is absolutely abysmal. It’s been covered by a lot of big YouTube channels , and it is so ridiculously underpowered that I can’t help but admire it. Having 2 cylinders in a “proper” car is hilarious to me, and I would love to see how terrible the acceleration is. I also enjoy how basic and barren the interior is and that the engine is located in the back. You can tell that this car was not made for Americans. I know that it’s probably a very deadly ride, but I want a 126 regardless. There’s no helping it. The desire will not go away. Is friend. PT Cruiser Convertible To begin, I am not a Chrysler fan… or a PT Cruiser fan. That sai
