About to pull the trigger on a poor man's es-335.
Very cool.  What are you getting, an Epiphone Dot, or somebody's knockoff, or what?

Does anyone else remember the far past, when GIF was just another graphics file format, and didn't automagically imply animation.

I still sometimes work with GIFs, but I prefer PNG-24s. They fill the same niche as GIFs but are lossless. The only thing that GIFs have over PNG-24s is the animation. [Edit: And file size, but that's mostly a nonissue nowadays.]

But yes, it was a valuable lesson of why the hell can't I insert a JPG and still see the background.

What does happen with the Facebook update for Android? I had heard that it changes your FB mail to IMs. I haven't updated the Facebook app in probably at least a year. I've been intentionally avoiding it.

But my FB crashes more and more now. I'm sure I could improve the stability with an update, but I don't want to lose the functionality I have now. Only, I'm not really sure what functionality I would lose.

Can I still access my FB mail as usual with the updated app? It's fairly similar to browsing Facebook in Chrome on my desktop. Does the updated app change that?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a cross-platform to-do/tasks list?

I currently use outlook exclusively for that purpose, but I want something that works on my android phone and my ubuntu boot and syncs automatically. I've tried out a couple of things (Wunderlist, google tasks), but found them lacking. Specifically, I want each task have a category, details, a due date, and a "complete" check box and be able to sort by complete then due date (or just have complete things disappear, though I'd prefer they were recoverable if I misclick). This seems to me like the obvious way to organize tasks, and I've been surprised that the highly-rated to-do list apps I've found don't seem to have even this functionality. Another thing that would be nice is recurring tasks, but that is not a high priority.

That is prone to memory leaks, though.

I use Todoist, which I have found to be pretty useful. I just use the free version--though there's some cheap subscription you can get for additional functionality. It's simple, cross-platform--and it sounds like it has the features you want. It has project creation, sorting by due date, and completed tasks are archived and sorted by project.

A few years ago, I tried like a gazillion different task apps; this is the only one I still use.

If you need a to-do-list app to create a to-do-list app so you can use the to-do-list app, how can you use the to-do-list app if the to-do-list app has not been created yet?

Hmmm….look at the box. Interesting idea. We had just been tossing the disc back and forth, Frisbee-style, up until that point.

But my FB crashes more and more now. I'm sure I could improve the stability with an update, but I don't want to lose the functionality I have now. Only, I'm not really sure what functionality I would lose.

Can I still access my FB mail as usual with the updated app? It's fairly similar to browsing Facebook in Chrome on my desktop. Does the updated app change that?

It'll force you to download the Messenger app to receive Facebook messages. In particular, you'll get Messenger chat heads - these are small circles that show up in the corner of the screen whenever you get a new FB message, even over other apps like Chrome. From there you can either dismiss them or tap them to open them (which will bring you to the chat interface directly)

Tapping the message button in the main FB app will open up Messenger. It'll basically look and act the same as Facebook on desktop, the main difference is the chat heads. Personally I didn't like them at first, but it's grown on me.

+ Faster send/receive message times than the main FB app (this is the argument for why FB forced people to Messenger, people reply quicker when they use it but that doesn't help very much unless both people in the conversation use it.)
+ Easier to go to the chat window when you receive a new message
+ Easier to go back to what you were doing before after replying to a message
+/- Will immediately get a visual notification when you have a new message (whether you like this will vary)
- You'll lose some MB of space on your phone (this usually doesn't matter)
+/- Your load times on the main FB app may change (this is hard to estimate without knowing how old your phone/app is.)
