Maximizing Macbook Pro's battery

I have an old Dell Vostro 1720 and an Acer Aspire One AO110. Both are usable (and used), but have no battery.

So when I got my shiny brand new Mac, I decided I had to look after the battery.

And I read everything I could find about how to take care Macbook's battery.

Apparently, old models used to need a periodic full discharge followed by a full recharge.

Apparently, that is no longer the case.

I've tried to follow the advice in Apple's page, and I tend to leave it unplugged every day once or more times while working with it.

And I've noticed that from a Full Charge Capacity of around 8500 mAh, it has been improving to around 9000 mAh

It is too soon to know how it will last in the future, but it is a good sympton.

You can check full charge capacity at "System Information". Go to "About this Mac", then click on "More info...",  then on "System Report" and finally select "Power".

Good examples

I was made redundant at the end of March. It was a very stressful process but it ended up very well, as I've been in my new job for almost a month and I'm very happy.

During process, I had to work with lots of recruiters. Both from inside and outside my former company. One thing many people in the recruiting industry fail to understand is that every interaction counts. For better or for worse.

There were also people who just do their jobs. And that's OK.

There were also bad apples. I think it would be useless to point them.

But there were some very few absolutely brilliant. I remember one specific case. When each and every interaction is memorable, you know who you are going to recommend if asked.
