Hanging out.
The challenge of choice
Following on from my thoughts about Setapp, and now having all this extra software choice in my life, is that I now have to confront the challenge of choice. For many, many, years I have been using OmniFocus to manage my life - keeping all my work and personal projects and tasks safe and sound. I was using OmniFocus before it was even an app - back when it was a series of OmniOutliner scripts put together by Ethan Schoonover to replicate this magical GTD (Getting Things Done) philosophy that had entered the world not all that long before.
Setapp
Tonight I installed Setapp on my Mac. This service provides a wide range of full version software in exchange for US$9.99 per month. There is no escape from software as a service, and I appreciate the challenge that software developers face trying to earn an income and support a living with the old “full version plus upgrades” pricing model. A couple of the applications in the Setapp bundle I have been eyeing off for a while; some I have wanted but not enough to pay for; and some I’ve no use for.
Back on the website wagon?
Many years ago I started a Movable Type blog when the web was young, and doing such things was hard. Then a young upstart named Wordpress arrived, and I couldn’t resist its modern design and dynamic database structure. I transitioned, and spent hours monkeying with CSS to get things looking just right. Then the web became social, and I gave up on blogs. The big shift was to micro-updates and photoblogs and pseudo-conversations through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, respectively.

Can’t believe we are kidless. Enjoying the North-Canion wedding. #northcanion
Pumped to be collecting the car after its scheduled service.
Just your typical Friday night in the couch.
Benji and I enjoyed a bike ride yesterday, and we had time for a pit stop at @little_olive_leaf_cafe #chif #booj #latergram
Do you remember when you used to make “holiday friends”? #moopers #holiday #swimmingpool
Having kids is really starting to pay off with the housework. #outsourcing #chif #booj
Successfully offloaded another job. #moopers #airedaleterrier
End of day chill out time.
Morning caffeine hit.
“Hey Dad, thanks for taking me out to get a coffee and a stop at the park, but I’d really just prefer a nap right now.”
Park time.
