An ode to a fallen comrade, my laptop.

I’m weirdly sentimental when it comes to my laptops. I say this but I’ve only ever had two. My first was a chunk old silver MacBook Pro that was a gift from my father. It saw me all the way through those formative highschool years. I even used it at school. It was the laptop I used to give Tommy Bellamy a copy of channel.ORANGE with the fact that this version of Mac actually still had USB ports. And humanity also still used USBs. Not to mention the CD port in which I actually burnt music onto plain discs and made mixtapes for people.

I wrote countless stories on that laptop. It was where I wrote my 120k Avengers fanfiction, something I started when I was 14. Four years later and in my final year of school, I had a run of waking up at 5am to write. Never mind the fact that I was waking up at 5am to write a fic about Frank Ocean.

That laptop went through it all with me. Like old men with their cars, I named it. Stanley. Stanley was covered with homemade stickers that summed up the formative youth of my teenage years. A picture of Kendrick Lamar with his signature, a SAVE FERRIS collage, a photo of Chandler Bing (season 1), the screen card of Hugo Stiglitz from Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds. And Frank Ocean, of course.

Stanley saw me through it all… until university where it promptly died. Or, ‘Apple died’ in which it just kept overheating, the battery life was horrible and I saw more circle spins of death in the last two weeks of use than I had in the last two years. Suffice, to say, it was time for an upgrade.

So I got another MacBook. His name was Bernie Mac which I thought clever and my first wallpaper was, indeed, a photo of the comedian. It was sleeker, didn’t have USB ports and in some odd and unexplainable way, didn’t seem as good as Stanley. Never mind that it was faster, thinner and had an actually life of a battery. I hated the keyboard, the darker colour and the fact that Bernie Mac just wasn’t Stanley.

Only after writing several novels - and one collection of poetry - creating various mixtapes (with a CD extension!), editing films, binging series and the countless PDFs I read and the essays I wrote of the two (and a half) degrees that this laptop went through did it finally die.

It’s funny. I’m not emotional. I won’t lie and say to you that the 18 year old who had to put Stanley down and admit defeat was emotional. So much so that she refused to trade it in and instead has it sat on her bookshelf beside a coffee table book on writers. In a way, that very first MacBook serves as a reminder of all the things I realised I could do. I could be a writer.

Now, this laptop before me, the one that refuses to turn on, might not hold as much sentimental weight but it’s still a nice marker of times gone by. It travelled with me across countries and it did get me through those incredibly painful and awkward years of your early 20s.

I went through lockdown with it.

What’s more, I watched my first ever F1 race on it.

So I won’t let the frustrations of the end get to me. The fact that I had to walk around with a charger because 100% battery didn’t mean anything. Or the fact that it would overheat and kick the fan into overdrive and it sounded like an airplane. Or the fact that it’s died when I decided to start becoming a little more serious with this ‘I want to be a writer’ business and now I have to type on my iPad like I’m Toto Wolff in Drive to Survive. Maybe that will make this whole March 30 Day challenge all the more memorable - I did it despite the fact that my laptop literally fucking died after three days! What’s more than that though the three days into this, it died literally the day before university starts.

It’s okay, though. I’ve already ordered another laptop from Apple that should be coming next week. And maybe that’s just what I need; a fresh start with a fresh laptop to bring in the next chapter of adventures. Even though you can still trust that the first song that’ll play from that yet-to-be-named MacBook is finna be Pyramids.

I'm thinking about doing something extremely feral:

Basically, unlike macOS, dynamic wallpapers on Linux work on timers. So, the dynamic Mojave Wallpaper I have set up isn't aware of when the daylight is changing, like on macOS. As a result, 16 photos across 24 hours simply is not enough.

The wallpaper that I initially downloaded, had each of the 16 images evenly spaced out. However, one quick look at the images, and you can tell they are NOT lined up for the changes in day time. Therefore, I went into the XML file and edited the times, myself. I set them up to better reflect what the sun is actually doing, outside.

However.

The sun does not behave the same throughout the entire year. Fortunately, Apple weather has this fun feature that lets you look at how the daylight behaves across the year, on a per-month basis. As a result, what I can do is make a unique XML file, for each month, and then swap them out at the 1st to make sure my dynamic wallpaper stays accurate.

But that's a lot of work for a wallpaper, and having to manually swap them out isn't ideal. I wonder if there's a way to use functions to make a single XML file repeat the daily pattern only a certain amount of days before switching to a new daily pattern for a new month, and then repeating.

Idk. And there's only one way to find out!

Hellooo again :) I have made some more organizational desktop screens for August 2023. This time I made it way more me, but I did end up loving them so much that I decided to post them here again.

The album on the screen is StarCatcher by Greta Van Fleet! If you’re not interested in that I’m sorry :( I will be posting these again probably next month with a different album so you’ll just have to keep a look out!! Also if you have any ideas you’d like to see pls feel free to send me some asks :) im always wanting to try new stuff out for this. I may even take some commissions eventually, but for now y’all are just gonna have to deal with what I make!

Pls like or reblog if saved <3
