June 10, 2010 at 12:53 PM posted in General DiscussionIf I am searching for something that is on say page 50 of 100 pages there is no easy way to that page 50 that I know of. At the bottom of the screen are usually the options for the first 6 pages and the last couple of pages. So one clicks on page 6 and then one gets offered pages 7 and 8 [all the time know what one is after is around page 50. Once you get to page 50 and are then searching for the post for example,once you have looked at that post and hit the back button instead of being taken back to page 50 to look for other entries around that time ,you are taken to page 1 to start the whole process over again. So ideally you'd be able to enter the page number you're after. Shy of this it would be great if the back button would at least take you back to the page you were on.

Hee hee. No malice intended mate. I feel for you slaving over the rice cooker. And are you really such a superb cook that you have never made a mistake using the 'saucepan and absorption' method? You know, you could benefit from a thousand Chinese gadgets. :) I have a clock in the shape of a Panda Bear which, when I give it a clip under the ear, recites the time - always perfectly accurate, finest Chinese clock technology. To clarify, the clock is designed to tell the time when, and only when, it receives a violent blow to the head. Yeah, I bet you would find that unnecessary as well? :)

哈哈，you never fail to make me laugh mate. So thankyou. Yes I have heard that and I do love that savouring each sweep of the broom...what a lovely mental space to be in [a particular skill if you have sick screaming kids keeping you up all night and you can still manage to pull off that tranquil state]. I think you're right the first time...it sounds very Daoist to me [but where is thinkbuddha to come and set us straight].

But it reminds me of the Daoist (? might be Buddhist - I am hazy on these things) approach to work, where you take pleasure in simple repetitive tasks. Like sweeping the floor, you savour the moment of each sweep of the broom. (I'm trying to liken this to clicking my way through 100 pages but it is not as enjoyable as sweeping.) Actually xiao_liang should give this a whorl instead of bleating about the pain involved in washing a rice cooker. :)
