I woke up in time to do an MD workout, despite feeling a little sore. So maybe I was about 10 minutes late and I missed the first set, but his workouts are so long, and I think there were seven sets anyway. Had a good brunch shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did a bit of reading, and then I decided to do a beach boardwalk walk\u2026 turns out they were policing the place, and you can&#8217;t hit the boardwalk. But the beach is fair game? So I went back to the hotel, dropped off my slippers, and went for a beach jog. Pretty nutty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Came back to read a little more and figured I might as well do another MD workout. Then I headed out for dinner, trying out a new place &#8212; Mint Pizza. Opened 20.12.2020, and they&#8217;re empty, and their pizza is actually pretty good. Lamb and BBQ chicken, they did half-and-half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter was discussing Raspberry Pi&#8217;s, and all I could see is a lot of misinformation, which is truly shocking. The irony is that open source has been running the Internet for so long, and progressive web apps have come such a long way\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Learn concepts, not tools. <br><br>One ensures lifelong flexibility, the other has potential for obsolescence. <br><br>Your knowledge of doing a mail merge will spread from Word, to Pages, to Writer or Docs.<br><br>After all, who remembers WordStar or WordPerfect?<\/p>&mdash; Colin Charles (@bytebot) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bytebot\/status\/1353278434747670529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the day when I did <a href=\"http:\/\/training.bytebot.net\/\">OpenOffice.org or Linux training<\/a> even, we always did say you should learn concepts and not tools. From the time we ran Linux installfests in the late-90s in Sunway Pyramid (back then, yes, Linux was hard, and you had winmodems), but I had forgotten that I even did stuff for <a href=\"http:\/\/bytebot.net\/media\/oss-star-techcentral.html\">school teachers and NGOs<\/a> back in 2002\u2026 I won&#8217;t forget PC Gemilang either\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I placed an order again for another Raspberry Pi 400. I am certain that most people talk so much crap, without realising that Malaysia isn&#8217;t a developed nation and most people can&#8217;t afford a Mac let alone a PC. Laptops aren&#8217;t cheap. And there are so many other issues\u2026. Saying Windows is still required in 2021 is the nuttiest thing I&#8217;ve heard in a long time. Easy to tweet, much harder to think about TCO, and realise where in the journey Malaysia is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe the best thing was that Malaysian Twitter learned about technology. I doubt many realised the difference between a Pi board vs the 400, but hey, the fact that they talked about tech is still a win (misinformed, but a win).<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Life%20with%20Rona%202.0%20-%20Day%203&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2021%2F01%2F24%2Flife-with-rona-2-0-day-3&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
