Android Lockscreen - June 2021.
Very interesting cat-style digits :) .
MIUI theme: Amoled2.
Pidgin: Failed to Read Thrift.
Pidgin-wise (lightning-fast and light Messenger like You’ve never experienced before) Facebook issue arises again:
Failed to read thrift: api.c:1897 fb_api_cb_publish_pt: assertion 'fb_thrift_read_stop(thft)' failed
...waiting for the fix.
jDownloader rules :) .
I find it very interesting that free/libre app jDownloader 2 can download Rumble videos while its commercial counterparts Any Video Downloader Pro and MediaHuman YouTube Downloader (which I’ve recently tested) can’t. Since even @YtbDownBot (a Telegram bot: “Download files/videos/audio from most websites”) cannot handle this, I consider jDownloader 2 the most effective app to download stuff. Oh, and keep in mind that jDownloader is not especially dedicated to download videos from YouTube/Rumble/etc. - while the two apps mentioned above are.
Nutmeg-flavored coffee.
Since yesterday I drink nutmeg-flavored coffee - very interesting taste :) !
My Android desktop - May 2021
Here is one snapshot out of my current desktop set. This is an old KLWP preset I designed and just modify over the time to fit my needs. I wanted to show You what I especially like today: a nice relation of two spheres on the top left, one being a weather icon (beautiful Komponent Weather Classs set I still love) and a FTP Server widget (here active).
‘Memories Midnight’.
A glimpse into the past.
One of my fondest memories from this lifetime are years when I’ve been conducting my own e-zine. At the beginning it had been distributed in an off-line form - a few issues later it reaches the Net.
Long story short, the whole thing was an incredibly pleasant, exciting and satisfactory experience. To this day I remember how I forced myself to keep going late into the night to meet the upcoming deadline :) . It was fantastic to create and coordinate various things which altogether make up the final magazine (I was a chief editor, a writer, a web and graphics designer, and a manager).
Among things I liked the most was to write a preface. Each time it was like celebrating a new birth, recognizing and emphasizing its leading traits (each issue had been different, each deserved its own ‘theme’ or tone).
Now, when that time had passed long ago, I am at the beginning of another vision of my website. Wondering about its character I’ve reminded myself of those good times of the past and decided to reflect them at least to some degree, today. I thought: “Why not to apply a magazine-like form to it?” With its own occasional preface, highlights, and maybe even “issues” - although I’d like to treat them more metaphorically than formally, with more flexibility (meaning: no specific boundaries between one and another).
I find it a brilliant and brisk idea which inspires me much. Therefore I’ve decided to take that path and re-design Trail of the Light in this mold.
In the meantime, graphics-wise, it turned out to be nightly... mysterious... and, perhaps, a little bit nostalgic. I came back to my original logotype from That Time - although I’ve been experimenting with other ones down the road, this one (and my very first one, in fact) always managed to show up one way or another, throughout my design. Therefore, I thought, the time is right for it to take the main place again. Back to the beginning, back to things I still highly value - although reborn through all the new experience I’ve gained. Even technically-wise it’s a kind of a come-back: switching from Blogspot to TextPattern, years after I’ve done the opposite.

Invisible Stairs.
This was an interesting facility. I think it was placed mostly underground, while on the surface there were several openwork holes, clearances of various shapes and sizes, indicating that there is definitely much more to it, deep down.

Spiritual Concepts in TV-Series.
For some time now I watch various TV series... sometimes they astonish me by concepts they are based on - which resemble to me something of a metaphysical (or spiritual) nature.

Acacia, Surprising Gifts and Learning Telepathy.
A few days ago I was on a little evening hike. Soon I realized that for most of my way I notice a very pleasant scent. It was surprising because I went far enough to stop notice the same smell - but I didn’t. I was impressed by its almost constant presence.

Wedding Anniversary.
Yesterday my Sweetheart was shopping whereas I remained in bed, exhausted. Decided not to listen anything this time, but trying to meditate, at least a little bit. I tried to tell (more precisely I should say: to convey) Evelyn how I feel. How difficult, how... hard (as often, in case of eating » starving). I tried to imagine me eating some tasty meals, but... it was too hard. Soon I limited visualization just to the scene in which I sat nearby the ocean... as I like there...

The Suicide Barn.
I had a peculiar dream, Evelyn... As You know, I rarely experience this kind of dreams - or maybe I rarely remember them. Usually my dreams are mundane and/or abstract and cubistic. But when a peculiar dream happens - it usually draws my attention and make me wonder on its meaning. This time, however, I had doubts if it is worth sharing - because I can’t find anything valuable in it. On the other hand it is quite unique and peculiar - that alone makes this dream interesting. So let me tell You this... although this is only a part of the story - because only this I still remember.

My Dream With Grandma.
Eve,
I had a dream not so long ago with which I would like to share with You - because I consider this dream important at some way.
It looked like it was one of my average dreams: normal, nothing special. But all of a sudden I’ve seen my grandma. It was explicitly confusing and surprising because...

A Lucid Dream while Physics Classes.
Today morning I probably experienced a kind of a lucid dream (or in fact the very such one) - therefore I find it an interesting experience and would like to describe till I still remember it.
