Inspired to blog again

I’ve been reading a book that the story is set in the early 2000’s. This one character writes in their LJ blog and the author of the book gives a side view of the character’s LJ posts.

LJ (live journal) was a popular platform during the 2000’s where people would blog about their lives. After reading each post in the book got me to thinking. Why did the art of this pre social media trend go away? It was a way to keep net friends, irl friends, family, etc updated like an extension of online instant messaging. Way before social media was popular. Plus it gave users an outlet to share creative stories and content as well.

I know I drifted away from blogging regularly because of time, life, and honestly the drive to write and be creative. With the thoughts of Myspace coming back too I’ve been inspired to dust off the old blog and start to write more than a few sentences in one sitting.

End of Year Holidays

Holidays and the end of the….. YEAR is near.
It’s the middle of November and there is only one month left of 2022. On Dec. 31 the world will be welcoming in 2023. 2022 has been a positive year. Many great things are happening. I can’t wait to see what 2023 brings.

Detect Display

I work on multiple displays and have one monitor that I have to manually adjust the resolution. Before upgrading I was able to use “detect display” under system preferences > display and it would automatically adjust its resolution to something more bearable than 800 X 600.

I noticed after upgrading to Mavericks if I went to system preferences > display I noticed the “Detect Display” under the color tab was missing. On a happy accident I discovered that if you press the Option button on your keyboard while in the color tabs the “gather windows”button will change to “Detect Display”.
