Set this up again on a new machine because it's so annoying as a default in VS Code:

@Luke Still using TextMate and BBEdit here.

@scottboms@typo.social avatar

@AnthonyBaker lol Keeper of something alright. Not sure what though, but VS Code is probably good for someone. But that someone is not me. I’m just happy TextMate still works. @Luke

@AnthonyBaker I remember when our Adobe rep came to demo InDesign 1.0 many years ago and we all laughed. It was no Quark killer (yet). Also amazing that Quark is still around though no idea who uses it anymore. @Luke

@Luke Oh yeah right. Those were the days! @AnthonyBaker

@Luke @splorp Still have some Image Club artwork floating around in my archive. I must have had some of the mailers too at one point. @AnthonyBaker

@splorp Is there an archive of Font & Fubction issues somewhere? @Luke @AnthonyBaker

Watched “Squaring the Circle” (2022) the documentary about directed by . The stories about making such iconic album covers were incredible, and they were brutally honest about a lot of things, except for explaining how the business failed. Maybe I misunderstood, but it sure seemed like Po blamed it all on Sleazy for convincing them to pivot to video? Anyway, don’t let that dissuade you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1OuRErYtqc

@Luke Yeah it’s good. Spoiler but maybe not: Storm was kind of a prick. @soundclamp

What are you using for habit tracking, trends, goals, etc. for yourself personally on phone or computer? Please share this with others.

Am trying to find the most helpful and productive app or method.

@Luke Custom Google Sheets doc but used to use Reporter with some custom prompts.

scottboms,
@scottboms@typo.social avatar

@Luke 😂 Probably but there’s something I do like about the simplicity and exportability of it.

@AnthonyBaker It ain't perfect but it works for me (for now anyway). @Luke

@Luke Load it up in that SX-70 and see what happens! @splorp

scottboms,

@Luke You’ll need that. Assuming the film even works at this point. Unless it was refrigerated, in which case maybe? @splorp

Dialing in settings on the xTool for burning screens. Assuming you’ve got the screen stretched correctly, the registration system alone feels like a game changer.

Dropping everything because my xTool Screen Printer just arrived :) Build quality is really solid. But first, I’m gonna read the manual.

@AnthonyBaker @Luke Will report back tomorrow after I start putting it through some initial testing.

Discovered a tiny feature I needed in @getkirby that wasn’t in the core or available as a plugin, so I made one. https://getkirby.com/plugins/scottboms/kirbytag-svg

To whomever decided that it would be a good idea to plant three oak trees in our front yard, I would like to slap them upside the noggin’.

@Luke No just thinking about the endless hours I spend raking leaves year-round.

scottboms,

@Luke Oops that should have been “raking leaves”. If they dropped dollar bills instead I’m sure I’d wish less ill on them ;-)
