Tips

A few helpful (hopefully) tips.

NOTE: This page is brand new. I will be adding more tips soon.

The Tips:

X LISTS AND MONITORING BEFORE FOLLOWING – A tip for using X – PRIVATE LIST! Seriously make private lists, put people on them, and mute them. This gives you the ability to “follow” without actually following. Subscribe to X Premium, and use X Pro (formerly Tweetdeck). With X Pro, you can monitor your lists, and those you put on them with the content they post will appear in those lists. That way you can trial the accounts you may be interested in actually following, or just interact if you wish without ever following them. I use this method to reserve my following for those I deem to deserve my follow, and to be appearing on my Following tab.

Announcements:

  • Anna’s Archive is having some tough time with some of it’s domains being taken down. Now is more imperative than ever to get over there and download whatever pdf and epub books you may want. Currently I know that annas-archive.li is working. Please send them a donation to help keep this extremely valuable shadow library online. Refer to Google, Grokipedia, and Wikipedia for more information about Anna’s Archive. Also on my personal website is an extensive Anna’s Archive Search Index I made for use in searching for books at Anna’s Archive. I created it to be used as a guide for some interesting things you could look for and find some OOP (out of print) books. Be aware that the links on that page do not work since Anna’s Archives .org domain was taken down, which is where all of the links on that page pointed to when I built the listings. When time permits, I will be moving that page to this website with the links removed, and search terms available for use as manual text search suggestions. – 2025-01-19-MON-07:29-CST.

Buy Me A Coffee:

Buy the editor of Surf Man a coffee to show your support for this ad-free work, and thank you!!

Currently In Progress:

2026-01-20-TUE-21:17-CST – This website is finally built! Ok well, the layout is anyway. Ignore all content in the sidebar below this section. There are segments copied over from my other website which will be removed soon, or placed on a dedicated page. I am really excited for this step forward toward getting this project on the move. This week my main focus will be on adding all of the necessary pages this website needs. That doesn’t mean all content for these pages will be written, but at least I can put the pages in place.

Editor’s Status:

2026-01-21-WED-09:36-CST – HAPPY HUMP DAY!! – All it took was one short video on Facebook this morning to put me in the mood for listening to some Adam Lambert remixes on Youtube. I got some groceries this morning to get through the rest of this week and upcoming weekend. Just totally random, I bought a new folding chair to replace a sitting chair I acquired a couple of years ago. I like the chair that I had, but I need to make a downgrade to something that is more compact and easier to move when needed.

Closely Watching:

Some things I discovered that I think deserve prolonged attention.

QWERTY PHONES – It’s looking like 2026 is going to be the year that relaunches qwerty keyboard style phones back into the mainstream with devices like the new upcoming Clicks Communicator and Unihertz Titan Elite. I’m a little excited about it. I kind of want one. I’m debating about ordering a Clicks Communicator, but I really like the looks of the Titan Elite.

Stop feeling bad for outgrowing people that had a chance to grow with you.
