Wore my kilt again this weekend, outside and everything, too. I’m already thinking about the coming Renaissance Festival and how I want to present myself. And I found the regional company that made the kilt i bought last year: Highland Kilt Company.
Managing a collection of music isn’t that hard, once you’ve got storage. Managing its digital facsimile is a pain in the ass. Rewarding in terms of availability, but endless challenges to do it well.
My contribution to a Valentine’s group chat at work. There was a plushie passed around and we were supposed to stage a picture with the it. I was the only one who included the photographer.
A collection of whatever-it-is-you-collect is necessarily backward looking. However, as that space grows, it still can help you forge new connections and learn new things and see through new eyes.
One of my favorite forms of research when reading fiction is to look at character names, in particular the etymology, and various forms of the name through history. That can lead you to the well of information your author drew from.
The main disadvantage to reading a book while connected to the internet is that is that you run into discussions of the book you’re reading. Just a few words can spoil plot points. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Is there a way to rip 5.1 audio from a DVD to import into iTunes libraries? I found a tool that will rip to WAV files, which Plex handles well. I can rip the stereo audio to Apple Lossless, which of course is perfectly lovely. But if I could preserve the Dolby aspects, that would be cool, too.
I’d never do this, but if I had a stream of all of the accodental screenshots I have taken on iOS, I could publish a lot of content for a long time. I’m getting tired of everything waking my phone and every surface and action activating something.
Had lunch with an old friend today. He is shipping overseas soon and for a long while. I was not prepared for how much it would hurt, for how sad I would feel. Making plans to celebrate his return.
I moved out of my house for a several months in a span from November to May. Here’s why: Conway Whole House Remodel. Apparently we’re weird. We remodeled our house for us, not for some unknown next owner.
More and more I am deeply impressed with the iPad and its effectiveness even as a primary work device. However, some seemingly “normal” activities like printing .eml attachments from the Outlook app throws a wrench into the machinery. Two apps needed.
I was very happy with the way that Numbers handled the playlist export from Music. It inferred a delimited file and presented the contents formatted in a very easily understood fashion. It was super easy to copy the two columns I wanted to share, and Nova helped me make markdown fast.
