I was today years old when I found out you can install fonts on an iPhone. Now I can use my beloved Atkinson Hyperlegible and JetBrains Mono in on mobile just like I do on my MacBook and Windows box. I use a free app called Fontcase I heard about from Mac Power Users. https://apps.apple.com/app/id1205074470

That time in the 90s when I went to a gun show in a Clinton-Gore t-shirt just to screw with the crazies, whose level of insanity I severely underestimated. https://louplummer.lol/post/an-undercover-liberal-at-a-gunshow

Don't tell me is too hard to learn. We started a new help desk person yesterday. I showed her how my notes about people and meetings work, demonstrated linking notes and talked about using dataview. Twenty minutes later she got the app installed. We downloaded a few crucial plugins, copied a few notes and templates from my vault and she was off. I gave her a link to @nicole 's YouTube channel and told her I'd answer any questions. Today she's at her desk, building a knowledge base.

Bean - A Free, Lightweight Word Processor https://apps.louplummer.lol/post/bean-a-free-lightweight-word-processor For years, Bean, a free word processor for macOS has been my go-to when I needed to create a document with rich text, tables and images. Weighing in at only 8MB, it starts instantly and places little demands on even my wife's 10-year-old machine. It reminds me of Microsoft's WordPad... Apps

🌐 I do not understand the 100+ tabs open at the time people. Not saying you're wrong, I just don't get it. Did you get attacked by a bookmarks.html file as a young child? Is yours the laptop with a petabyte of RAM? What gives?

From my 100 Strangers Project - Stone (his name) manages this tattoo business. A few days after I shot this, I saw him again and we had a conversation. Turns out he is a photographer too. We talked about it for a while. He looked me up on Facebook and we’ve now been friends for 10 years.

The Phones of Normal People https://louplummer.lol/post/the-phones-of-normal-people Now, I realize that there are some folks in the geek space who still make use of default apps. Robb Knight's project from the winter of 2023 taught us that. By and large though, the things that people in tech related fields do with our phones, laptops and tablets fall...

Anyone else doing WeblogPoMo2024? Sponsored by @anniegreens, it’s a month-long challenge to write every day and post when you can on your blog, ideally around a common theme, but not necessarily. Sounds like fun to me and I’ll be missing the April photo challenge. https://weblog.anniegreens.lol/weblog-posting-month-2024
