Trader Joes was absolutely insane today. The parking lot there is way too small and getting in there was an act of bravery. I forgot something and I am not going back.
Cherry Audio released just what everyone was waiting for…a Roland Jupiter-8 emulation! Oh wait, it’s already been done a million times at this point.
It’s weird to me that when I make the decision to take a break from blogging, after constantly thinking it over, saying to myself that I have nothing to say, that nobody gives a damn, that I then start feel like writing again — strongly.
I shut everything down at midnight, saying to myself that I was done. I have nothing to say. Nobody cares. I did reserve the right to write on my Ghost blog, behind the private setting.
I removed domain names. I set all blogs to private. I didn’t delete anything other than my micro.blog content but there wasn’t much there anyway. The stuff I’ve got on Pika is still there. The stuff on Ghost is still there.
I feel pressure to write because I make announcements about things I shouldn’t. I guess once I make these decisions after constantly mulling things over I hit a relief valve. The pressure is gone and I say to myself “Don’t be stupid. Keep writing, for yourself if not for anyone else.”
That goes along for a bit until it doesn’t. So I’m not sure where that leaves me. At least this time I didn’t nuke all of the sites like I have in the past. Stuff is sitting there ready to go. The urge to publish to Ghost is there. Maybe I’ll turn off the private option and not update the domain name for now.
Love that Homebrew has a ton of open source fonts available with the “font-“ prefix. I installed the set of open source fonts from the team behind iA Writer (and the fonts that come with that application) to use in Ulysses. I really love their Quattro font.
brew install font-ia-writer-mono
brew install font-ia-writer-duo
brew install font-ia-writer-quattro
The full list is available via brew search font-. It’s a huge one!
