My 11 year old kid woke me up to watch the World Cup (3am). It’s half time and I might go back to bed. ⚽️

Quality Tech Support from Indie Mac Developers
How good is the Mac indie developer community? Caddyshack Good GIFfrom Caddyshack GIFs I have been a long-time user of the SearchLink service developed by Brett Terpstra. I use it so regularly that I have it tied to a button on my Stream Deck, as well as keyboard shortcut, ⌃ + ⌘ + L. Last night I attempted to use SearchLink while typing in the all new MarsEdit 5. Instead of it working as it always has, I received a confounding error:
I got a new pair of glasses a couple of days ago. They’re playing havoc with the muscles of my left eye. It’s early so I guess I wait a few more days to see if I become accustomed. This is the worst part of getting new glasses.
I taught Benji how sports brackets work. Now he is building his own World Cup version. 😍🥰🤩⚽️
Elvis, 2022 - ★★★½
A wonderful telling of the bastardry of Colonel Parker.
I’ve disabled cross-posting from micro.blog to mastodon. Going to try letting each be its own thing.
Ferrite 3
Ferrite 3: Ferrite 3 offers an enhanced, modernised UI all across the app. I couldn’t edit Hemispheric Views without Ferrite. Believe me, I tried. If Ferrite wasn’t available, I’m not sure our podcast would be either. Version 3 is an insta-upgrade for me. While it has a list of new features, the faster playback speeds are the real seller.
On one of Jack Baty’s blogs, I saw a reference to neofetch.
It doesn’t do a lot, but it looks pretty. I’ve run it on my three machines:
iMac
MacBook Air
Mac mini
Casey Liss on Really Specific Stories
My friend and Hemispheric Views co-host Martin Feld continues to build his other excellent podcast, Really Specific Stories. The latest episode features a guest famous to many of us in Mac-nerd circles: Casey Liss, one of the hosts of the hugely successful Accidental Tech Podcast. Casey references his experience as a guest on the show on his own blog. Appearance: Really Specific Stories — Liss is More: On this episode, Martin and I walked through my path into podcasting, starting all the way — and I’m not kidding — from when I was a toddler.
Excuse me @rosemaryorchard - are you still developing When.Works? Does it work?
I’ve cancelled my Fantastical subscription that expires in March 2023. My need for the bookings service may be declining. That, plus their price increase, means I will go back to BusyCal through Setapp. If it turns out I really need bookings, then I will reassess at the time.
Poor USA. The goalie has been poorly treated by his defenders. ⚽️
The Fantastical price increase is a bummer, because it’s a double whammy for me as an Australian user. Our weakened exchange rate multiplies the scale of the increase.
Spirited, 2022 - ★★★½
I don’t like musicals but I liked this movie.
Oh no, I’m going down a TaskPaper rabbit hole.
Thanks, Medibank data breach. I really appreciate you holding onto my details as an ex-customer, allowing it to be shared on the dark web following its theft. Great stuff.
