 Computatrum Technicae Artis Cogitare

Computer Technical Thinking/thoughts. 

A place to add a few ideas about computer stuff I'm doing and posts or other items of interest.

After fossiking through my  blogs and not finding a place to put a few ideas I decided to start yet another.I've now forgot what the blog was I wanted to write about, talk about short term attention span.

So this is about capturing ideas that I may want to develop later. 

I've my productivity ones and glideapps ones and Asset management & Revit ones but I want to branch off into a general area


Typing getting worse. 

I'm noting that my typing is becoming a lot less accurate and I'm having to go back and correct my mistakes. 

I'm not sure if that is:

  1. fat fingers- Hitting 2 keys  or between 2 keys (so missing the key I was aiming for)
  2. Wrong keys entirely- hitting not an adjacent key but one completely different. I do it occasionally, but not as frequently as fat fingers. 
  3.  Bad hand/eye coordination. 
  4. Working on different keyboards. Although they are all  Microsoft Surface computers so the keyboard layout is different and the sizes might be different too-
    1.  Microsoft Surface Book - high buttons
    2.  Microsoft Surface Laptop- lower buttons but could be a wider keypad
    3.  Microsoft Surface Pro- smaller & detatchable keyboard
  5. Working in different positions. In bed on laptop and sitting for other 2 pc's. Although one would think that if that was the case, there would be less errors on the main computer and its use (being used more frequently and so becoming the norm).

Quintisential

 I cam across the word being used in about a beach town in England, and looked it up and definitions came up, on online dictionaries, with having the special characteristics of a place/theme etc. 

That was my understanding of the word. But there was no root of the word and so I looked up its definition and one 

quintessential (adj.) from (https://www.etymonline.com/word/quintessential)

c. 1600, "purest, most refined, consisting of or of the nature of quintessence," from quintessence (Medieval Latin quint essentia) + -al (1). Related: Quintessentially; quintessentialize.

So we then plug in  Medieval Latin quint essentia and we get from (
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quintessence) the following:

Definition of quintessence
1 : the fifth and highest element in ancient and medieval philosophy that permeates all nature and is the substance composing the celestial bodies
2 : the essence of a thing in its purest and most concentrated form
 
So Quin - Five
Essence- late 14c., essencia (respelled late 15c. on French model), from Latin essentia "being, essence," abstract noun formed (to translate Greek ousia "being, essence") from essent-, present participle stem of esse "to be," from PIE root *es- "to be." 
The other four elements being:

What are the FOUR Elements? Science Lesson: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire

  So the Fifth  Element ( Sci-fi film)
I should have named this blog  quint essentia instead, its pretty cool

Q.E.D.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q.E.D.)

Q.E.D. or QED is an initialism of the Latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum, meaning "thus it has been demonstrated". Literally it states "what was to be shown". Traditionally, the abbreviation is placed at the end of mathematical proofs and philosophical arguments in print publications, in order to indicate that the proof or the argument is complete.
