My instinct that $5 for a software product is a lot of money is almost absolutely a result of my having primarily sold software on the iOS App Store. I’m also going to do yearly pricing with a good discount, of course.

We need an indie standard for associating posts together as a thread if it doesn’t exist already and I’m missing it.
I have zero desire for Linefeed to copy Micro.blog. That’s been a conscious decision from the start. There will inevitably be overlap, but my goal is to show how things on the open web can interact and complement each other. My hope is people see enough value to use both.
One thing I really enjoy about Linefeed is how fast it is. It’s a testament to my incredible engineering talent since, previously, it was believed impossible for a Rails app to be fast (kidding). Really though, I think this is critical to keep if and when it grows.
If you write Ruby and avoided RubyMine because it’s a big ugly heavy Java app, you should get over it. It does so much for you that nothing else does, or can. RubyMine for big projects and BBEdit for scripts is a great combination. I write safer code faster with it.
🚨 The startup I’ve been working at had to let me go for reasons out of everyone’s control. Please get in touch if you’re looking to hire a fantastic iOS and Mac developer and quite a good Rails developer to boot. Fifteen years of professional experience, former Apple. Chill hang.
If you don’t want to be on social media which isn’t run by a sociopath and isn’t a Chinese surveillance platform it is becoming real slim pickings.
I kind of don’t care what Elon does with Twitter. I just think he sucks and don’t want to use something he controls.
My Logitech MX Vertical has been a bit jittery over Bluetooth, so I tried switching to using the dongle nubbin. So much better. This also has the benefit that it won’t be connected to my computer unless I’m plugged into my Thunderbolt dock.
When living in Silicon Valley if I met people working at different companies and they talked about why they liked their jobs it was:
Google: Creating and contributing to exciting new technology. Apple: Working on things people used and found valuable. Facebook: Money.
I’ve gotten great feedback about Linefeed from really smart people that I respect. I’m extremely fortunate to know the people I do.
Had to go by the Oregon Convention Center. It’s too bad WWDC can’t be held here, because it’s such a better venue than San Jose.
A Shure SM58 really is a great mic and probably would work better for a lot of people buying an RE20 or SM7B that don’t know how to EQ and don’t have minimum USBPre 2 quality pres. Cloudlifters are sort of snake oil in that if you need one, you probably are using the wrong mic.
Working on this podcast idea for the last few days, one part I’m really enjoying is recording the ambient sounds I’m using for background layering. It could be cool to record various natural places around Oregon and publish them on Insight Timer as meditations.
I’ve been thinking about this song lately, so I did a quick recording of it. Maybe other people would like it too. soundcloud.com/fisherman…
It turns out not starting my day by drinking black coffee on an empty stomach may help with the stomach pain I’ve been experiencing. How bizarre.
It may not be everyone’s style, but I really do think Portland — especially the east side and North Portland — is one of the most beautiful places.
Went to my blog and say I had nearly 3000 visitors today. I guess my blog post about nil in Objective-C popped up on Hacker News. I’m not complaining, but is it weird one of my first reactions is to get a little nervous when that happens?
HTML is so weird. Most other programming and markup languages work by having strict syntax requirements that will cause complete failure if they aren’t meant. With HTML, however, you can totally mangle your markup and browsers will do their best to make it work.
My MacBook Pro now says arriving in June sometime. At this point I’m weighing what I think the odds of an update in November or so are and if I should keep the order.
I wonder if it would be fun to do a micro-podcast about whatever I feel like talking about on a given day? I could host it on Micro.blog, which has the added benefit of not telling me how few subscribers a show like that would probably have.
Thinking a bit about what kind of blog I want to write. I do want people to read it, and I don’t want it to be something only programmers read, but I’m a bit concerned that mixing in programming with productivity with stationery might keep people from subscribing.
Last night, I created a mind map of the areas of my life I feel I need to get in order to feel I have a complete handle on the ADHD stuff. Probably as good a start as any for a blog post?
🖋 I don’t find myself using the Retro 51 that much due to the cartridge it comes with bleeding through every paper I try it on, but it’s perfect for writing on these index cards I have next to my keyboard.
My network has been less than reliable for a while, and the first thing I want to rule out is my Eero router. What’s a non-mesh router that doesn’t suck?
