I would bet that in a world where the only other version control system I’d ever used was Subversion, I’d probably think Perforce was quite cool. Unfortunately, I have used Git, so that is not the case.

I feel like I am reliving something @marcoarment went through several years ago as I hop between several text editors trying to. BBEdit, Sublime Text, Atom, VS Code. Trying AppCode at the same time as well, although that’s a separate issue.
Bought the yearly membership for Grammarly, and I like it quite a bit. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work on Micro.blog for some reason 😔
As simple of a tool as it is compared to the competitors, YNAB (You Need a Budget) is insanely effective if you use it. My spending/savings situation has changed dramatically in the last couple of months.
I bought a Waterpik and I have to say… it’s pretty rad. I always thought they were more expensive but the big fancy crazy one is only about $60.
What I really want is a version of Automator where you can create a little form in it and use values you get from it to populate variables. Too bad they’ll never update it again.
If this was 2009 I’d totally be starting a Mac automation podcast right now.
Editing and posting the new episode of The Run Loop tonight! Moving to a bi-weekly schedule after this.
Weirdly I think that being able to write AppleScript (combined with shell scripts) and use Automator has been one of my secret weapons in my career.
Looking for a guest for the next episode of The Run Loop after the one coming out end of this week. Hit me up.
Giving using a Pomodoro timer a shot again to help increase focus. It’s helped in the past, but I’ve just never really stuck with it. I should really see if there’s a good book on the method.
Managed to get Outlook working again! I actually think it was an issue with our SSO provider and not so much Outlook itself.
This is a lovely situation to be in: Outlook for Mac prompts me to log in, and then freezes and crashes everytime I try to. Amazing.
Oh man. Rough day.
Today I have worked with code in: Objective-C, Swift, Kotlin, Java, and I even updated a little bit of a Python script. Oh! I wrote an AppleScript too! Does that count? Big day.
I have a feeling that setting my 401(k) to max out is going to end up being one of the smartest things I could have done. Not the whole plan, but I think it will be a good base.
A bit run down today but still stayed focused and got a lot done. Feeling good about that.
The Run Loop is officially being relaunched and the next episode in a couple weeks is going to be a really exciting one 😃
After watching Shape of Water and Star Trek: Discovery this year, I think Doug Jones might be my favorite actor.
Also, people whose performances are CG augmented should be able to be nominated as best actors.
Aw. Just read that Things 3 is a “rewrite”, which means any hope that my code from when I was a little tiny baby dev ten years ago lives on is unlikely.
Really need to figure out how to get my hands on another one of these App Camp for Girls stickers for my luggage.
I do wonder who the people are who look at Trump, his personality, and the things he’s said and think “Absolutely no way he possibly could have done anything illegal or unethical. That guy has straight shooter written all over him.”
On the plane back from Boston. What a week.
I don’t believe that anyone is actually proposing arming teachers as a serious policy proposal. They’re just throwing this crazy shit out so we’ll all get distracted and talk about it instead of the real issues.
Also, it working.
Mint has no envelope budgeting support, but it’s free and if you’re more interested in see where you’re money went than where it will go, YNAB + Mint gives you most of the features of Banktivity.
