![]() 2016 Macbook 12 inch with butterfly keyboard ![]() The computing power was good enough for general software development. When Apple first introduced the MacBook 12”, it was eye-opening for me as the perfect device for portability. We cannot ignore how much impact a good keyboard can offer to the user. We spend so much time with the keyboard to produce creative work. All in all, it was probably one of the best note-taking devices at a time. ![]() It was not able to provide enough computational power nor innovative interactions with the small screen. However, the software and operating systems were not built for the performance, the storage was still using spinning disks, 2 hours battery implied carrying a large charger. I owned an HP Mini 5101 at the time which is a medium spec 10-inch netbook for professionals. I was at the time looking for portable Linux netbooks. Portability and maintain the daily needĭoes anyone remember the age of Netbooks between 2008-2010? The device market was offering sub-optimal powered portable laptops with a small size footprint. I would love to appreciate these historical events that drive me to look for an alternative habit. To change our habit, it requires frustrations and initial drive to leap of faith. This was almost one decade of looking for different ways of working with the device. Here is the story about how I managed to live in a computer-less world. The reality is, as of 2020, I have not been working directly on a standard computer the past three years. Even if we make such statement to ourself today in 2020, some of us could still be quite hesitated. I wish I can time travel 25 years backwards and kindly present to myself, “one day you may not need a computer”, I would not know how I could react to this ‘warning’. One of the photo was showing me installing a software on a CRT monitor computer in the 1990s, probably the internet was still using dial-ups modems.īack then, we had to wait for 30 minutes for downloading a couple of megabyte we had to hope that modems can maintain the connection we had to hope that there would not be any incoming phone calls as it could interfere the modem phone line ICQ was still one of the must have software in our inventory School homework TXT files were stored in floppy disks that barely reliably worked. I was intrigued and having so much flashback memories. While we were chatting away with my parents about all sort of things happened when I was a kid, they digged out some old family photos. So reader if you are welcome browse the works of Terminus.but they are not for the novice to understand they are abstract oddities that escaped the freak show, and surreal dialogues found crumpled on embalming room floors.In early 2018, I was on a trip visiting home in Shanghai. Just remember this is my open letter confession, my rough draft manifesto.my origin issue.you have been warned if you decide to come any further reading this page.the poetry here is not for the faint of heart, some is depraved and deranged.for Randy finds comfort in the darker subjects that most ports avoid.there are poems about nature galore, but many are filled with sorrow, and bloody gore So that is why this wretch of a man created me.Papa Terminus I'm his confidence, his self esteem, and his talent for poetic expression.I may be a character true of his design.but as villains go I'm pretty much a natural asshole.Do you agree? This poet has been writing since he was able to lift a pencil and won his first American poetry award at 7 years old.so why has no one heard of this poet? Randall Reedy he must of been a prodigy.alas he was at one time.but after countless setbacks he sacrificed his art, and his heart to be just another guy punching a clock.no one seeing his self worth.only a body to flip a burger or stand behind a hydrologic press.brings a tear to your eye doesn't it. Humble beginnings, oh yes I started out humble enough I was born in Detroit and grew to manhood by being shipped to different schools, I know sorrow and sacrifice.I know torment and pain.sometimes all to well.but as I am the villain people forget that I do feel as well.and when rumors are spread they cut me like a knife.making Randy disappear and Papa Terminus more of a villain.hiding in plain sight if it were. My real identity is that of a humble poet named Randall Reedy (Randy, R.Reedy) I am him, he is me.if you want to get philosophical about it.Many have claimed that I am unfeeling and disrespectful well yes but what did they expect I am the villain of this story. Salutations, and Good Evening this is the homepage of the one and only villain of All Papa Terminus.I warmly greet you by shaking your hand.
