For life’s problem of feeling lost there is no GPS, nor a map. Don’t expect enjoyment in random short lived ‘interesting’ idea consumption, try week+ long exploration of unknown territory instead.
When young, society allows you to try new stuff, but at the age of 30 you might start to think that society expects you to know it all. That you’re the senior. Stop believing this.
There is no route other than the one you’re taking. Continue, explore and experience, but ignore expectations. Finding optimal happiness is an NP-hard problem, try to find your happiness in traversing.

Recently I needed to print many addresses. Not personal addresses, but a
database of addresses. It was my first time using the database
application Base (offered as an alternative to Access), and a first time
printing labels. It was not easy, but these steps should help at least
me (if there will be a next time) to get me started immediately, instead
of spending hours frustrating myself with some of the awkward design
decisions made by the OpenOffice.org folks.Prerequisites:a filled OpenOffice.org database (.odb) of data you want to be
printed on the labels.sheets with labels (i used no name labels, its doable to adjust the

displayed for about 5 seconds, no matter what frequency setting was
used. My parents use a Apple iMac, and I do think that some hidden
files/folders copied by the Mac were causing the problem. After I
removed (as a Ubuntu user) all hidden files, and left only the JPEG
files on the disc, the problem was solved.Why?Among the hidden files were:Many .DCS*.jpg files for each photo contained on the disc A .Trashes folder with photos a few folders down the hierarchyOne .DS_Store file
(typical metadata file that Mac's create to store And a ..Trashes fileI suspected that the .Trashes folder with 'trashed' photos inside
were causing the problem, but I haven't been able to reproduce it by
