Mysteriously, this Android bug (which I talked about here) got made “obsolete” today. Without explanation. Who knows if that means it’s fixed in Android 5? (And does Android 5 actually work yet?)

Just found that this bug in Android is causing problems for my OWL / OWLdroid syncing. Issue 38282 – Android MTP support does not show recent files until the device is rebooted.

▶ OWL Demo on YouTube
Been meaning to do a video demo of OWL for a while, to make it clear what it really is. Today there was some Twitter discussion of Fargo + TiddlyWiki + syncing so I had to drop a link. And decided that it was better to have a rough and ready video example than to …
