Month: December 2021 (Page 4 of 4)

–Green Samsung S10e came in. Better in some lights than others. Like the black one, the SIM tray is not perfectly flush. Tried to sand down one of the trays, phone would no longer see the SIM. Ordered a replacement SIM tray.

–Rolex VC (1978) clasp came in. Took some doing, but I managed to swap it onto a 93150. Good thing I ordered two of the rivet pins…

–A neighbor named Bill George dropped by and chatted about grinder/buffer. Heard I was into watches, and later dropped off two fake Rolexes (quartz) from the ’80s. One is trashed and without bracelet, the other is not bad, with a two-tone bracelet. I’ll put batteries in and figure out what to do with them. Bill is moving to Arizona–so much for that budding friendship.

–Neighbor boy Ryan (12ish) dropped by to retrieve tennis ball that had gone over the fence. Seems like a nice kid, based on four seconds of conversation.

–Tried to get rid of some grayed-out files in iCloud storage; gave up. Moved to Microsoft OneDrive. Took a long time to get the Art folder uploaded, but I finally did and the app seems pretty bulletproof–syncing is automatic, for example, and files are easily accessible in Finder under OneDrive. 100 gigabytes for $2/month. Probably not enough space for all my movies; I think those are fine on the thumb drive. Syncing may not actually be all that necessary: it’s so easy to access/edit files like Contacts and Humor on OneDrive, there’s no need to keep copies on the Mac. Same with the Excel files for Shave, Watch, etc., which I never kept on the Mac anyway, but instead edited them on iCloud. It might be useful though if I add something to Books or Old Friends on the Mac to have it auto sync in the cloud. Although as I think about it, syncing may work only for files that already exist on Mac and cloud. Will test.
