Have I Found a Fix for Logitech Mouse Judder?
2020-08-31 Update: No, I have not found the fix. I mentioned in Episode 15 of Keep Practising that my Logitech mouse was giving me the #$%@s with respect to the amount of judder and unresponsiveness on macOS. This problem exhibited irrespective of whether it was connected to Bluetooth or the Logitech dongle. Good news. I may have found a solution. Early days yet, but since applying this fix I haven’t experienced the issue again.
I think I’m a full-time Firefox user now.
Aw man. Now I have to wait another whole week for a new Ted Lasso. 📺

The United States is a shitshow right now. I feel for the many good people I know in the country who are having to cope with it all. A pandemic, murderous police, climate change, crumbling social infrastructure… All being enabled by a crooked kakistocracy. 😢 🇺🇸

Keep Practising 15: The Value of Friendships
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt in 2020, it’s that friendships are important. I’m getting better at making and maintaining them, but there’s always work to be done. In Nerd Corner I vent about the poor connectivity of my Logitech MX Master 3 mouse. Like the show? You’re welcome to buy me a coffee as a vote of thanks!

Mondo Electronics
Mondo Electronics is a company I’ve helped as part of my job as an Entrepreneurs’ Programme Growth Facilitator. They were kind enough to say some nice words about the value of the service to their business and me personally. Working with companies like Mondo is what makes my job enjoyable.
3 Cheers for Tech Support
Recently I came across an annoying calendaring problem. I have a number of domain names, with associated email aliases. These all reconcile via my Fastmail account. I noticed the other day that calendar invitations created in my calendar app of choice, BusyCal, were defaulting to being sent from one of my non-default email addresses. There was no obvious setting for this in BusyCal and it was an issue that I hadn’t noticed at all over previous years so I assumed there was some problem at the server end.

Ted Lasso is brilliant. Most enjoyable show I’ve watched in a long time.

The other day I was complaing about the lack of extensions in Safari. After hearing about Brett Terpstra @ttscoff talk about Workona I’m trialling it in Firefox. This thing is a game-changer. I’m loving it.

A reminder to my future self: Create email (and other) templates in Textexpander but embrace writing them in Markdown. Then use Brett Terpstra’s Markdown Services Tool to convert the template text into rich text prior to sending. This will solve the problem of Textexpander’s rich text editor being so flakey and annoying.
