Character Counts V2

-
The Chrome Web Extension "Character Counts" has been updated.

Current Features:

1. Count the number of selected characters on a page.
2. Convert an ASCII(char) string* between normal ASCII, ASCII (Int), and Binary.

* A string is represented by characters, words, and/or entire sentences.

New Feature:

1. Choose if your conversion input (source) string is ASCII(char) (default), ASCII(int), or Binary. The 'Convert' link will then cycle through the 3 conversions (although really 2; one converted output will always be the same as one source input).

  For Example:
  - ASCII(char) = ABC
  - ASCII(int) = 65 66 67
  - Binary = 01000001 01000010 01000011

Character Counts is available for free in the Chrome Web Store.

Character Counts is also Open Source on GitHub.

The Appreciation of a Framework

. . . that inspires productivity. The tl;dr is that, thanks to Flutter , my third app is now live in both Google's Play Store (for Android) and Apple's App Store (for iPhones and iPads). The appreciation comes in the form of the Flutter framework providing a solid base from which to learn mobile app development, without getting lost in the intricate details of every minute facet of the mobile app engine underpinnings. This allows you to learn as you go, and to still be productive as you continue learning more, and more (and more). I also enjoyed working with the Laravel framework (circa 2017). Once familiar with a framework, and in learning some of its nuances, app development time becomes more and more about the app than the tool. I've been enjoying seeing that transition with Flutter, and it's inspiring. Also thanks to the Flutter framework, and in setting up a shared theme and coding structure , this third app only took five weeks to complete! And—that developmen

Wrote an App; Got a Mac; Wrote another App

Or more specifically, "Wrote an app for Android ; Bought my first Mac; Wrote another app for iOS and Android ." App development is a time-consuming, minutely detailed process, and there is little time for pause. Mar 29 First Flutter mobile app approved for Closed Testing in the Google Play Store. Apr 22 First interview for a Flutter Developer position (knowingly premature—but a part of learning). Walked through an hour-long presentation of my app development. In the end, they asked twice about iOS development, but I've never owned a Mac. May 14 My first Mac arrives —a refurbished 16" MBP direct from Apple. Jul 30 Second reminder app approved and marked as "Ready for Sale" in the Apple App Store (although it's free). Aug 1 Second reminder app approved  for Closed Testing in the Google Play Store. Aug 4 First app released to Google Play Store.  Second app released to both app stores  (store links provided below). Simple Reminders As referenced in my H

Cannot empty the clipboard.

Cannot empty the clipboard. Well, I finally found a solid solution for this error (so far as I know for now). I tested this near 50 times and about 5 different ways. I've read LOTS of message posts on this, and not one has suggested this. Although one came close by suggesting to leave a copy of MS Word open (if the problem is happening in Excel). Unfortunately, this problem has been known to happen in Word also. My solution? Ready for it? Here it is... Open the clipboard, and leave it open (but minimized). How to open the clipboard? There should be a file in your system32 folder named "clipbrd.exe". Double-click it. Or, you might be able to "Run" (Win-R, or Start->Run) the "clipbrd.exe" command (minus the quotes). Please note that this solution is primarily for anyone with this issue that isn't running the Get Right Monitor, or you're not running remote desktop (rdclip) and/or terminal services.
