I violate standards!

Posted on 10/19/202010/27/2020 by margrad80

What can I say about this? When has calling someone lazy hate speech? I am sorry Facebook, but you give a platform for all the bat-shit-crazies to spew an unending stream of disinformation. When I say that all you have to do is look around and see how lazy people are you label it as…

Apple Hates Nomads: Why that turned out to be a good thing.

Posted on 04/27/202004/27/2020 by margrad80

As soon as I saw the keynote launching the MacBook Pro 16 inch, I wanted it. It wasn’t a matter of if I were going to get it, it was only a matter of how much the model I bought would be souped up. I had to wait to get it until I returned to…

FaceBook is the New Town Square? Okay, treat it that way.

Posted on 06/01/201906/01/2019 by margrad80

Stop commenting or relying publicly on FaceBook. Make your comments that are just meant for that one person, who is sharing something, a direct message. Don’t forget to reference the post you are reacting to.

An Unscheduled Vacation From Blogging

Posted on 05/23/201905/22/2019 by margrad80

It all started with the rain. It has been a long time since I have lived anywhere, where the rain can continue day after day. I am used to an occasional day of rain, or even more often just a morning or afternoon of rain. So I really didn’t think to check the ten day…

A Problem with WordPress: Workaround

Posted on 05/22/2019 by margrad80

The other day I logged on to WordPress and went to the My Site page. Going down to post, I clicked on Drafts. This drew up the list of unfinished post. I really should kill some of them, as I don’t think I am going to be going back to them. I clicked on the…

A matter of keyboards: the nomad’s dilemma

Posted on 11/05/201808/13/2019 by margrad80

Follow An Inconvenient Life on WordPress.com The Early Days: My first exposure to keyboards, outside of typewriters was the card punch machine we used at the academy to punch the cards for the Wang Programmable calculator. Since I could only hunt and peck at that time, the quality of the keyboard really didn’t matter to me….

Я вернулся на Facebook!

Posted on 10/01/201803/17/2019 by margrad80

Yes, I am back on FaceBook. As a matter of fact I have been back on FaceBook since April 10, 2018. I wanted to wait awhile to see if I was going to stay before writing a post about it. After saving my Facebook history, killing my old profile, and starting a new one, as…

Life on limited FaceBook

Posted on 06/28/201803/06/2019 by margrad80

Well, it has been over two months since I deleted my old FaceBook account and started the more clean impersonal account. I still keep face book off my iOS devices. Having to make the effort to go to my desktop to check on face book, makes it where I check only every few weeks. Since…

To FaceBook or not to FaceBook

Posted on 04/11/201803/06/2019 by margrad80

Along with so many other people, I decided to delete FaceBook. It sounds easy, but how can I really one day cut off so many people, who I only have contact with through this app? My first contact with internet social was on message boards, which I visited during college. When I found chat rooms,…

A Simple Hack

Posted on 03/17/201803/06/2019 by margrad80

Have you ever found yourself needing to read something on a web page, but the bouncing flashing ads and auto play videos keep drawing your eyes away, even when you have muted the sound?

My Inconvenient Live

I am a retired American Merchant Mariner.  l was living a nomadic lifestyle somewhere between being a nomad and an expat, before Covid19. I moved from country to country as my visas ran out. This blog covered my travels and the random thoughts about life, technology, travel, and the Oxford comma. Now I am stuck waiting for the pandemic to pass. During this time my posts will have very little to do with traveling, and more to do with keeping myself entertained during lockdown.
