PayPal was denying my credit cards, so I got a prepaid Visa so I could buy a license for Monokai Pro. It cost me a bit extra to do it this way, but I’m happy I was able to get the license. I like how SublimeText looks with this theme.

Goodbye Edge

If you care about what’s happening with online life today, take another look at Firefox. It’s radically better than it was 18 months ago — Firefox once again holds its own when it comes to speed and performance.

I’m giving Firefox a try as my default browser for work stuff. For home stuff, I use Safari.

I fucking hate Adobe licensing.

“What do you need a fake ID for?”

“So I can vote.”

All it took was trying to open a thirty four megabytes .csv in Atom to send me back to Sublime Text. Let this be yet another lesson for me.

“Beef jerky time.” 🎥

Tried to buy Monokai Pro, but got denied by PayPal. Tried to make Sublime Text 3 look nicer and failed. Went back to using Atom. I sure do like the built-in GitHub integration.

“Have you decided? Do you want The Good Package, or The Big Gun?” 🎥

Wow! A :12 on a NY Times mini. That one is going to be tough to beat.

It’s a new personal best! 0:14 on a NYT Crossword Mini.

Here’s a picture of my current work setup.

  • MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar
  • OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock
  • Dell P2715Q Monitor
  • CODE 87-Key Keyboard
  • Logitech MX Master 2S Mouse
  • Ergotron WorkFit-D Sit-Stand Desk (Walnut)

I’ve cancelled and re-subscribed to a hosted Micro.blog plan a few times now. I leave because I think I can run my own site via GitHub Pages. I return because running my own site adds friction to just writing posts.

I need to stop looking at native Gmail apps for macOS. They’re all bad and I end up going back to the web interface.

I made a promise to my wife that I won’t drive recklessly anymore. That will help me to keep it under control whenever I find myself letting loose.

“I’ll tell you what then. Why don’t you call me sometime when you have no class?” 🎥

“Four weeks, twenty papers, that’s two dollars…plus tip.” 🎥

“All balls itch! It’s a fact!” 🎥

Moving forward, I‘m going to go with 🎥 for movie quotes.

“Or, this one?” 🎞

“If this were a movie quote, which emoji would look more appropriate at the end?” 🎥

“That’s none.” 🎥

I’d like to use the Atom editor, but it stalled on me today when trying to paste some brackets on 640 lines. It’s back to Sublime Text for me.

“Always…no. Never forget to check your references.” 🎥
