Missing iPhone, Thermal printer, and there’s no “I” in Teams.

Three things could happen at the same time, well, make it four.

I was on a conference call when I got three other calls in succession.

First one was issue with a thermal primer which still unresolved, and it would be the first thing I’d address in the morning.

Second one was issue with Microsoft Teams, which is still somehow widely used. Microsoft has since discontinued Teams basic app and making it a web-based only; best with Microsoft Edge… no surprises there.

Third one was about an iPhone that was left behind at a restaurant. I managed to help the person locked the iPhone and tracked it down. Luckily we were able to recover the iPhone as someone at the restaurant saw the lock message and call the number displayed.

On to the next days.

Exercise in E Major

It started with a certain Johann Sebastian Bach piece in G Major, without proper reference I transposed the piece to E Major by memory, of course I did not play the piece properly since I don’t really have any references other than listening to it on some videos I came across on a show.

Funny how I ended up wandering from Major to Minor, and rediscovering a song from early 1990s.

Maybe I’ll record a video of me doing the exercise, next. Maybe.

Toast to the coolest Cat I have ever known!

Back when Game of Thrones series was the talk of many, I gave a Targaryen polo shirt to my Dad. He didn’t know anything about the series and he wore it anyway. Soon after that his circle (of family and friends) started watching the series. They finally noticed the logo on his polo shirt.

Toast to the coolest Cat I have ever known. This one is for you, Dad!

Flashback: Brothers

Sometimes I wonder if I’d ever figure out how my phone knows what photos to show.

Featured photo of the day was taken in November 17, 2016 using iPhone 7 Plus.

I’m a bit teary because one of the subject in the photo is no longer with us.

They were brothers, even though they were not even the same species. Who says cats and dogs can’t get along?

March 20, 2025: A note from the Editor, and Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.

First and foremost, today is Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere as well.

This site, 37prime.com was launched back in 2006 as a personal site. It then adopted WordPress platform shortly after. We had a few great years posting random stuff from our own life, be it journals, pop culture, our projects, rants, etc.

Looking into the stats of this site, there a lot of our old posts were viewed by people from different part of the world. Unfortunately due to a few hosting migrations and database issues, a lot of the media (images and videos) were no longer available. There were lost moments that still live in different hard drives on our shelves. Probably we would never have the time to look them up and restore them on this site.

Moving forward, we would like to keep posting and contribute however small they are, moments that preserve the history of this world. Be it a rainy day journal or an actual breaking news.

We would like to make a toast to the History of the World, rain or shine.

Out in the Rain

It has been raining since morning and I felt like drowning in a flood. This would be the first rain in March, 2025; and more to come.

I went to a fast food restaurant and I saw two police officers talking to a possibly an unhoused person. From a little I gathered, the fast food restaurant employees asked this person to vacate the premises due to complaints from other customers. This person was reportedly screaming at the employees. They called the police.

If only there’s some kind of social services in the area that could take this person in. I don’t think it is right just to leave a human being out in the pouring rain.

I still dont know what to do.
