Optimize

Last night, I made yet another attempt to compose the "blog" using my cheap "smartphone." I discovered that the default (i.e., stock) Web browser was useless. So, I updated the Chrome browser and redeployed it. Success! I was able to embed all of the hottie pictures, add text and hyperlinks, and perform all of the formatting functions on the puny screen. You are seeing the results now. Amazing, isn't it?

I also installed the Chrome browser on the iPad® tablet computer as an experiment. The result was not unexpected ... fail! It is basically a "skinned" version of the included Safari browser. So, the same malfunctions occurred. Needless to say, I have been tweaking the cheap "smartphone" and optimizing it to theoretically replace the iPad®, with an emphasis on "theoretical." The iPad® is not being divested quite yet. I might add that I was able to locate the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) calculator package file and side-load it on the "smartphone" rather than install a bloated third-party "app." That's the beauty of AOSP.

Another morning in "paradise." Lots of traffic. All of the buses were late. No refund check from the moneygrubbing Chinks of the property management firm that oversees the Chinatown dormitory. Lots of dickheads out and about in town, too. 'Tis the season to be jolly! Ho! Ho! Ho! Frankly, I have had my fill of Saturnalia. And, I don't even celebrate the idiotic holiday. Sheesh! I even had a run-in with a dickhead at the gym for the most ludicrous reason. I almost "optimized" his cranium with a dumbbell. My only salvation was a cup of coffee at the coffee shop.

This afternoon, I stopped by the Sprint® retail store in the neighborhood shopping center. I am parking my vehicle in the parking lot during the day again, so the visit was not out of my way. I was, of course, looking for a cheap protective case for my cheap "smartphone." I was told that no accessories were available for that particular model because it had long ago been discontinued. At that point, I realized that I was wasting far too much time and money on the cheap "smartphone." I need to just mummify it already.

Well, I have been "dragging my feet" insofar as the issue with certain moneygrubbing Chinks is concerned. So, I will be dispatching one more courtesy note this evening which will state my intentions to pursue remedial action through the Small Claims Court in order to obtain the delinquent refund and reimbursement of associated expenses. I will also add that I plan to file a grievance with other agencies to insure that other unwitting people do not fall prey to the Chink predators. I do not expect the note to produce any positive result. Only violent "optimization" can appeal to the senses of predators. Subsequently, I will begin the laborious litigation process.

Cheap "Smartphone" Mini-Update®
After some Net research, I discovered that the cheap LG® Tribute "smartphone" was introduced to market in October of this year, just two months ago. So, why was I told that the device was discontinued long ago?
