Sick of the inconsistent performance of the MBA under Sierra. Apps stop working, stall & lock out any salvage method beyond a forced restart. The Applications folder is weirdly organised: first it has folders in alphabetical order then apps in alphabetical order. Telling it to sort on name or none has no effect. So I'm reinstalling the OS over wifi.
I made a simple Automator app to force-quite all open apps with four exceptions. But it's been necessary to run the app twice to get the quit routine accepted.
Simple solution: open the app in Automator & add a duplicate of the "quit all apps" action to the existing action.
Works properly now.
Just joined the waiting list for Stash app. Seems like an interesting replacement for Pocket or Instapaper. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stash-intelligent-bookmarking/id1139841796
@skematica Do not forget the FruitJuice targets are minimum targets. It hurts the battery more to not reach the target than it does to exceed them.
@skematica No reflux episodes for the last two days, Headache still lingers, though. Weather is OK, wind & rain eased off, unlikely to have any days over 16°C for the rest of the week.
@skematica Reminds me of when a certain wordsmith on Twitter & myself combined our talents to come up with an unlikely cocktail almost guaranteed to kill off any nasty bug. I give you the gin'n'lemsip. AKA the ginnslip. I defy any bug to survive exposure to that.

@hazardwarning It has been established that Australian kids who grow up on dairy farms and are exposed to cow manure & hay are most unlikely to develop asthma.

@thedan84 You could consider the Opera web browser if it's downloads you're trying to get: it comes with a built-in proxy-based VPN. As long as you work within the confines of the web browser, you can get the benefits of a free & unlimited VPN. Available in Mac, Windoze & Linux flavours.
