The Random Thoughts Thread

[Joseph41]

A few random things here.

1. This is my first ever ATAR Notes post from my phone.
2. Has anyone ever tasted an ant? There was an ant in the packet of chips I just reached into and I'm not sure if the AWFUL AWFUL SATANIC taste came from the exterior or the interior of the ant. But serious, what the fuck? How can such a tiny animal have such an extreme taste?

Genuinely surprised that this is your first post from your phone.

How do other people usually use AN?

I have AN perpetually open both on my computer and phone (homepage), Tapatalk on my phone, and email notifications enabled for quite a few threads.

Do you have a preference for surfing/posting?

Do you have a preference for surfing/posting?

Posting: Computer (easier to quote and do 'fancy stuff' [colors/font size etc] with my replies)

Surfing: Phone/Tapatalk (convenience when on public transport, easier to scroll up or down imo)

Quick reply: Tapatalk (notifications come pretty much instantly instead of slightly delayed compared to email notifs)

I'll either use my laptop or my phone/ipod
I find it a lot easier to post on my computer but have posted smaller stuff on my phone.
I only just discovered how to do email notifications on threads.

Used to use AN only on my computer, but now I don't use my laptop more than a couple of times a week I access AN almost exclusively on my phone (through the browser, not Tapatalk), even when carrying out complex mod actions and writing long posts.   Don't believe I've broken the forums yet, though.

I used it on my laptop, phone and computer.
But only log in on my laptop because it has my password and also i like stalking threads as a guest .

Are you a part of the surveillance state? Because that is a lot of devices, you use to browse ATARNotes on.

I've accessed AtarNotes from my phone, tablet,school computer and my mum's phone.

I seem to remember early last year that using my phone for ATAR Notes was a lot trickier than it is now. Maybe the quick reply button helps because this isn't too bad, I just have bad eye sight, very little data allowance, and I prefer my computer for AN because I open all of the unseen HSC posts in different tabs and move through them that way, and I mark essays by opening them into a word doc, looking at word count, pasting them back into AN (but in a new tab - because I don't like using the quick reply window when I'll be doing lots of bolds (believe it or not that just autocorrected to vodka) and links and strikes and underlines and everything else. This could be a very steep slope - using AN exclusively on my computer meant I had guaranteed AN free times (like just before bed) but here I am at 1am. Heyyyyy everyone!!


And what is this tapatalk thing?

And what is this tapatalk thing?

It's an iPhone app for forums AN is one of them which you can add (and the only one I've added), and it's quite convenient for on-the-go surfing

I mainly use my laptop and very rarely a desktop (at home or uni) or on my phone.
