Buffistas

Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

On which platform? OS X had a radical retooling about a month ago, but Windows still looks the old way as of the last time I used it.

I'm going through the Trunk and poking at things that integrate with it. iOS definitely gets the best toys, but I'm not going to be sulky.

I'm still in love with it, in a way I can't say about Astrid right now, because it's tripling my to do items and not clearing them (unless I check them off on my phone, the phone syncs and overrides the changes--even changes from the web interface).

On my Android phone.

How often do you guys update apps on your phone? I probably do it once or twice a day, which is irritating, but less irritating than seeing the numbers climb.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I used to do it pretty often. These days about once every two or three weeks. Yes, my numbers are in the 20s now.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

On my ipad, the number is 114. I'm not even kidding. It is a clue that I probably should delete some apps because I haven't cared if they are updated.

I update the ones on my phone pretty quickly, but I have fewer apps on there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I almost never turn to my second screen, where the App store is, so I only notice that I have updates waiting about once a week.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Once or twice a day. i have downtime pretty frequently where I scroll through my recently used apps to see if any of them want me to do something (like make a move in Word With Friends or whatever) and the App Store is often in there badgering me. I don't carefully consider updating, or hardly ever, I just go ahead an update everything all the time.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I update maybe twice a week. Usually about 3-5 apps need updateing.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just updated my phone's apps. 63 of them. I do it when I think of it which, clearly, isn't all that often.

Huh. If I'm using the device, there are updates daily, and I update daily. At least.

I have a mild (okay, great) bingo! EverWebClipper does let you WYSIWYG clip pages (at least from Opera) or clip just the URL like normal, or an unstyled version. It's a damned shame it's necessary, but hey. It works.

I'm not sure how I got it free, though. I def didn't pay $3.
