There’s no way to predict how long my desktop takes to boot up or shut down. It could be 6 minutes yesterday and about 4 minutes today. However, when I send it to ‘hibernate’, shut down and boot up will take only seconds.
But I don’t use this option every time, only on occasions when I’m stepping away for a few hours but want to return to all the opened files/programs to resume from where I had left off. To hibernate is perfect for this purpose.
Okay, shall I do a little name calling today? On these pretties I met along the way?
In Latin, it’s lantana camara. A nice botanical name that’s easy enough to pronounce.
In the Malay language, it’s bunga tahi ayam, meaning chicken droppings flower. The scent from the stem and leaves reminded some people of chicken poop. I wasn’t aware of any smell when I went near them. Whew.
In Mandarin, it’s 五色梅花, meaning plum blossom in 5 colours.
Other names: Spanish Flag, ham and eggs, and yellow sage.
Here’s one that’s easy to remember: Move your eyes horizontally from side-to-side for 30 seconds, that’s according to a study.
Horizontal eye movements are thought to cause the two hemispheres of the brain to interact more with one another, and communication between brain hemispheres is important for retrieving certain types of memories.
This has got to be the last time I’m journaling about blade snapping! I can’t believe it has taken me so long to notice there are pen-knifes with their own detachable snappers tucked snugly at the end!
Even my spare brand new cheap pen-knife has one…though unmarked and easily passed off as just a cap, unlike such inescapable details pictured here.
Earlier on I had been looking at the heavy duty OLFA cutters until a few days ago, I stopped to look at regular NT cutters.
