I would have gone bonkers, if not for?

Yes what kept me going on during the pandemic?

It is simply my assortment of Nokia cellphones and one basic Samsung cellphone.

I would dispense with the 3G basic, first  with two SIMs.

That has limited applications and I carry it out for communication and bit of Internet.

That's all.

The Nokia had over 200 applications and my is my Internet Workforce.

I deleted  the rarely used applications  by 35 , to boot it fast but still it boots slow.

I use utilities to minimize the boot up assembly but they never work to my likings.

I have found Spike and Spark that do a lot to bypass unnecessary emails and clean up the mess I was in.

I found this Notion utility that organise the short notes.

But it needs running  Internet connection.

I also found this useless (in my convention this means in real terms) Pitch without an application front that tries to hitchhike on Notion Utility.

Please do not try it.
Waste of time.

A useless lot of crafty Internet Guys that consume your data.

I do revise my French with my cellphone.

The boot up menu "application organizers" are pleasing and give you options  at boot up.

They manage clutter mind you there are over 165 applications in my Android.

There are lot of browsers that include incognito ones but I use Linux based Ducky Duck.

I never use bulky Chrome which is blocked by default  using system  application utility.

But my biggest concern is Writing Utilities.

AbiWord is not supported due to overriding influence of LibreOffice.

WPS also want you to sign up.

There was a Writer Linux CD (32 bits) that a writer developed but it was live only.

I still have this CD for demonstrations.

I want somebody to use its source code and adopt it to Androids.

Going for Apple iPhone fixes you to one company.

It is against the Free Software Foundation initiative.

I don't want to go to PC or Laptop and use Grammerly in my old age.

Mind you virtual typefaces are many and SwiftKey has French support.

Unless one ditch the cellphone in old age or go adapting to the ecosystem, one is at a loss.

Unfortunately most are fixated to Microsoft and Microsoft is trying hard to catch up with Google with new business tactics.

Me ditching Microsoft two decades ago was my rejuvenation in IoT.

The age old tradition of rebooting of Microsoft has come to ail Androids too, if you are editing a large file and writing a book on Android is not visible on the horizon.

Me going back to laptop where Debian stands tall is the only viable option.

Catastrophy, is it manmade?

Time has come to.say good bye to.this blog site.
It has nothing to do with Google's and Gmail's strategic diversions.

It was coming for other good reasons.
Number of visitors and Coronavirus made me to revise my decision.

I will end with my analysis of recent misadventures in the sea.

The same logic applies to air travel now beginning to come to life again.
With expansion of Internet human.travel is redundant except a break for holidays, barring Coronavirus spread that seems not to nose dive but skyrocket upwards.
That was my prediction anyway and human behaviour is the main culprit and reason.

Catastrophy or Misadventure occurs in Medical Field, too.

1. Number one in my list is fatigue.
Man or woman is designed to work  under 10 hours or even less.
8 hours seems reasonable.
8 to 9 hour mandatory and not necessarily in one go. One short snooze has many advantages.
Any excess of coffee or tea does not change this physiological protocol.

2. Number two is underlying sickness.

3. Number three is alcoholism.

4. Number four is sea sickness not the sea sickness of first seafaring but the psychological factors that affects concentration, attention and focus to minor details.

5. All these can be lumped together as negligence of the supervision protocol of the industry concerned.

6. Failure of maintenance of the ship and every piece of navigation equipments and protocols.

7. Number seven is premeditated sabotage that seems like natural catastrophe to an observer BUT to claim insurance compensation.

This is a strategy Ceylonese are good at.

There was a guy who faked an accident and placed a cadaver to claim insurance.

Other standard method is to fake political victimisation.
A guy came to for full body X-rays claiming he had an accident on the way to Ratnapura.
I worked there for one year and travelled  every two weeks home by bus and I knew every nasty comer of possible accident and he could not tell the exact place of accident.

I refused and later found out he went to Australia and I never saw him again.

In the scenario of the ship that is sinking anybody conspired to the last item I mentioned above they should be brought to justice.
International organizations should hold their independent investigation and keep it without public disclosure until our report comes out first.
Then we can judge who are the culprits and who is going to cover up the misadventure at collosal environmental costs and impossible clean up provedure.
