This post originally appeared on the Hemispheric Views blog for the month of Nostalgic November. You can also read the accompanying posts by Martin Feld and Jason Burk. I was in Year 5 at a new school. I didn’t know anybody. My previous school didn’t have a formal uniform and I’d worn velcro shoes everyday. Now at this new school I had to wear leather lace-ups, and I didn’t know how to tie laces.

Sorry kid, I don’t have Instagram. I’ve got micro.blog though!
File this one under “irony” from the YNAB change log. November 5th, 2021 - You Need A Budget:
We released a fix to ensure all users are seeing the correct price in their account settings.
Given the number of sites you maintain @jack your omg.lol could be your most useful property on the web. 😂
A new episode of NBL Pocket Podcast has been recorded and released. I’ve been into Australian basketball since 1987. This passion is entirely different to my other more nerdy pursuits. 🏀
This month Hemispheric Views podcast is celebrating Nostalgic November. We are inviting listeners to share something from their history that makes them happy, be it a memory, a thing, an experience… whatever they like! As hosts, we each contributed our own piece of nostalgia. This is how mine starts out: I was in Year 5 at a new school. I didn’t know anybody. My previous school didn’t have a formal uniform and I’d worn velcro shoes everyday.
What’s that noise? Oh, it’s a new episode of @HemisphericViews podcast hitting the Internet. OMG! @neatnik @maique
Solid workflow, Andrew. Solid. Can somebody please send help?
Keyboard Maestro making it even easier to meet my needs as a Textexpander replacement. Now with menubar icons for specific groups!
On YNAB, and the pricing outrage that I and other users are feeling: I can afford the increase. It’s ridiculous that it’s more expensive than Microsoft 365 or Adobe, but okay. But really it’s the poor communication, the tin ear they are showing (a budgeting app that promotes forward planning pushing a 100% price increase on people with a month’s notice), that they’ve dumped the news about this (via pop up which I didn’t see because I use NextDNS - that’s right, no official email), and then gone into hiding that bothers me.
Undertaking an edit of @HemisphericViews is no mean feat. But like any hobby, it’s a labour of love in which the time invested is not about generating a return, but instead about trying to make something as good as it can be.
If you ever think society hasn't progressed in 35 years, watch this movie. You will realise that many social norms have improved.

Static IP locked and loaded. When I realised my ISP had switched to Carrier Grade NAT, I was left with no choice. Also @dsh1705 and @neatnik made me do it.

If you’re an Australian YNAB user, beware their new loans feature. It’s a blunt instrument and can’t cope with a typical Australian mortgage situation, such as fortnightly payments, offset accounts, interest-only loans, and daily interest calculations.
I’ve got an itch to setup my iMac from scratch. It’s been migrated a few times, and it’s deeply customised. Trying to do the cost:benefit calculus.
