This new bag that came with the MK1 negative holder from Negative Supply fits in quite well with the decor. https://www.negative.supply

After a few quick test “scans”, this setup looks to be a game changer for me. I can finally imagine a world without scanners, and more importantly, without scanner software.

Thank you, social media, for teaching me what I should be outraged about today. I spent a few hours earlier just calmly living my life but you’ve made quick work of clearing things up after 30 seconds in “trending”. Now I’m appropriately angry/distressed again, so, job well done!

Vim clutch to make Vim even faster

After spending 2 weeks with the trainers, Alice is back!

I’m in the middle of a second listen to Nick Cave’s new record “Ghosteen” and it is the saddest, most beautiful thing.

I have an exercise bike, so I don’t go to Spin classes, but I enjoyed this: I was an ex-wife. Time to become a hot ex-wife’: how I found myself at Spin class https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/sep/13/was-ex-wife-time-to-become-hot-ex-wife-found-myself-spin-class

Just finished dismissing all of the notification alerts after upgrading my MBP to Catalina and now I need a nap and a massage. My Watch says I closed my Annoyance ring early today!

Week 2 of training started today for Alice. Just look at her sit there in front of Target with loads of distractions nearby! I can’t wait for her to come home on Thursday.

It’s nice being able to print again

It makes me sad that we have a need for Twitter “thread readers”. Maybe “unroll” things in your head first, post a nice article to your blog, then tweet a link to it.

Me (morning): I gotta get away from all this surveillance craziness!

Me (later that day): ::installs Gyroscope on iPhone:: … Cool!

Why can't I find anything?: https://www.baty.net/2019/why-cant-i-find-anything/

I’ll be limited to 8x10” prints from 35mm negatives and in a bathroom but it’s a start.

Some look forward to a new novel by their favorite author. I, on the other hand, eagerly await the next set of release notes for BBEdit. Riveting! :) https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/notes-13.0.html
