I’ve committed to using Lightroom CC but I still don’t love it. I much prefer editing in Capture One Pro, but I fear that the convenience features of Lighroom CC are going to win in the end.
It’s getting to the point where I’m almost starting to enjoy riding the Peloton. Almost. I’m happy this is happening because it would be such a waste to stop riding it.
I added IntenseDebate commenting to baty.blog. I don’t think I like it. Makes everything look and feel a bit janky. I’ll give it a few days to see if that changes.
I cover my iMac and MacBook Pro cameras. So? This is almost-but-not-quite-certainly unnecessary, but it’s so easy to do that I’m out nothing by doing it. Also, things are unhackable right up until they’re not.
Scaling back so I can think
There was no internet at my house for two days last week and I don’t like the way it made me feel. I felt lost without the constant drip of new stuff to read.
Once the connection was restored, I was reminded that every idle moment brought with it a compulsion to reload the open tabs in my browser. Feed me, internet! That can’t be healthy, and it sure as hell isn’t productive.
My own thoughts are pushed away by the constant influence of other minds. Blog posts, tweets, news articles, podcasts, audio books fill every gap with the thoughts of others. How am I supposed to think for myself?
I’d like to try scaling back for a while to see if it helps rewire the way I think. To see if it allows me to think.
This means I may not see your post, tweet, or comment right away. I’ll still be jotting things down here or on the wiki. And of course there’s always email.
Kahlil Lechelt’s tool is nice for creating Hugo posts from the command line, so I forked it and tweaked it for use with Blot. https://github.com/jackbaty/blog-cli. It’s just a template change so far, but works for me.
Hook links your digital life. This app looks like a great idea (for people not living in Emacs, anyway). In public beta.
It’s taken weeks of cursing and thrashing about, but I’ve finally gotten to the point where Emacs keybindings feel right and Vim bindings feel awkward. I can barely believe it myself.
Ledger-cli gets a new release (3.1.2). It’s been three years since 3.1.1 was released. It’s such a fast, solid app. Plain Text Accounting FTW.
