The fingerprint lock does work, but I think the phone has to time out. Aha! It does! If I lock manually, it just needs a swipe. If it locks on timeout, fingerprint. Go figure.
What if it’s the Gallery app? I always used Quick Pic before.
Aha! It is the stupid app. I just uploaded that picture the usual way. Exactly the same picture that choked WPA ten minutes ago!
I tried several times to upload the S5 post, but it kept failing on media. I read some troubleshooting posts and some guy said the same thing was happening, but his pictures were in the media library. Lo and behold, so were mine. Several copies, in fact. I could add the photo from the media library, but it looks huge even though I resized it to 500 px. I can add screen shots the usual way. It’s got to be something to do with the image sizes. I could upload full size images from my S3, so it must be the phone, not the server configuration. Hmmm. Anyway that S5 post was from early yesterday morning; I got the S5 on Thursday at work.
I actually got this yesterday at work, but it was laundry night, and I was also painting a keyboard and trying to get the phone set up to the point where I had all the stuff I needed, so I didn’t get around to posting until this morning. Samsung Galaxy S5, copper gold, AKA my Solid Gold Phone. Very pretty, and I rather like the “band-aid” look.
I put a clear TPU case and a screen protector on it as soon as I got home, and carry it in a giant belt clip case. It’s fast, the screen is beautiful, and it’s not too large to use one-handed. Excuse the wallpaper chosen from the default options; I didn’t have any of my own saved.
The beautiful thing they’ve done with the keyboard is…put numbers across the top! Yay, especially for typing my long-ass alphanumeric passwords.
Anyway, still a few things left to transfer over, but it’s Friday, so I havthe weekend to mess with it (as I’m sure I will).
Oh, and there’s a second way to take a screen shot. The usual swipe works, but so does pressing the power/lock button and the home button; like an iPhone.
Jesus! Finally got these. I think they strapped the package to the back of a lame snail and turned it loose.
Penguins and whales with little toques and scarves. Hee!
I’ll add text later…mebbe. 😀
I’m saving seeds from the “scarlet pimpernel” (according to P) to make sure I have exactly the same kind next year because the MLBs loved this stuff so much. I took this to illustrate just how much plant matter I have to collect to get not very many seeds. It’s worth it, though; those little buggers nom the shit out of these flowers!
I finally got my prints from Snapfish. Goodbye, stupid cherubs and inspirational prints!
Dragonflies over the phone table.
Cherubs suck. Bugs rule!
In the nekkid spot beside the south window in the fireplace room. These are the frames that used to hold the cactus prints in the bathroom at 544. I painted them with the same Rustoleum stone paint that I used on the table and a plant pot in this room.
In my bathroom.
Had a little visitor on the patio. She was less than enthusiastic about having her photo taken.
This is the tall phlox that I put in the perennials bed with the butterfly bushes from 544. I didn’t think it would bloom this year, but I guess it decided to go ahead and make some flowers even if it isn’t exactly “tall” phlox at this point in time.
I’m testing the addition to .htaccess that will keep assholes from hotlinking. It’s not bad enough these fuckwits steal the images and stick them up on their goddamned link spam sites, but they’re hotlinking the fucking things.
Well, I lost one to a wasp/something or other before the poor little dude had a chance to even consider being a pupa, let alone a butterfly, and I lost two more to spiders (one a very small spider actually seen fleeing the scene of the crime) somewhere between the point of “J” and “chrysalis”, but I have at least one pupa!
Here are a couple of J’s.
Here’s my one chrysalis, taken early this morning (hence crappy lighting). He must’ve just made it because even with a crappy photo, I can still see his baby stripes inside. Anyway, I’m at work, but I’ll look when I get home to see whether I have any more. There was one making a J on the siding of the house beside the place we like to sit on the patio to admire the yard. Hopefully he got the chance to make a chrysalis before a hungry predator spotted him.
Here are some random fall crocus. Poor things are in such an ugly spot; they’ll be better next year after I move them…somewhere that isn’t the muddy bit on the north side of the patio where nothing grows except moss and weeds. Why on earth the old bird planted everything over there is utterly baffling to me.
