MacBook Neo: Day One

MacBook Neo Indigo

I picked up an Indigo MacBook Neo at an Apple Store earlier today.

Unfortunately the amount of workload I have today at the office prevented me from even unsealing the box. We are switching our backend service on our system, and it took priority.

I opted to get the 512GB Storage with Touch ID. I can’t imagine using any MacBooks without Touch ID these days.

I’ll post more about this MacBook Neo, which I’d probably name “Keanu”.

Going through changes.

This site, 37Prime was started back in 2006 as a personal bookmark and a quasi-journal. 19 years have passed and so many things changed.

In 2007, something really exciting in the Tech world happened; the iPhone. Love it or hate it, the iPhone changed mobile phone industry. There were some posts on 37Prime were made on the iPhone that year.

Now there are plethora of mobile phones available on the market, one is more favored than the other by each individuals. “Whichever you fancy.”

We have travelled far in the last 19 years. For better and worse, here we are.

On a personal note, my fascination with the number 37 started a long time ago, when I noticed peculiar patterns. One of them:

3 x 7 x 37 = 777

Remember that: 3 x 37 = 111

There are a lot more interesting properties and patterns surrounding the number 37. You can read it at many Mathematical articles about this number.

Anyway, I think I babbled enough about the number 37.

I wish I could have more time to post a lot more here like we used to years ago. We just don’t have the time anymore. We are sure as the wind of change comes, we would be able to post more frequently.

We have travelled 19 years away from when this site was started. Life brought so many changes where our priorities shift. We love what we do and this site is a small extension of ourselves. Hopefully we would be able to express more in the near future. After all, there is something really precious about the ability to express ourselves.

We all are going through changes, hopefully for the better.

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?
