sigh I have an American client who is having trouble, they say, being able to convert to £ (their end) for paying me. I have business bank account for my LTD that only accepts £ or €, apparently.

Anyone know of a way around this? A service either they or I could use? I would really prefer not to change bank accounts. Wish I'd know Starling was this limited at the outset.

@heydon fortunately not had to so far, but when I nearly did at Monotype I was highly recommended Transferwise, now Wise. 🙏🖤

Last iPad toot, promise!

Not really bothered about:

  • OLED
  • Pencil squeeze gesture
  • M4(it's always been fast)

slightly more bothered about:

  • thinner (too thin? Bent iPads in the first few weeks?)
  • lighter (always nice)

and would really like:

  • Pencil hover (which came out after I bought my iPad)
  • Pencil barrel roll (shame I can't just upgrade the pencil)

wonder if 'nano texture glass' would give a more paperlike feel (I never got on the with the actual paperlike screen protectors)

@simoncox when I purchased my M1 MacBook - I said - I'll keep it going until the M5 .. at this rate, that'll be Christmas.

Off to the local Odeon with Ethan to see The Fall Guy this morning as Ethan liked the trailer.

I’ll be crying inside as it pulls at my memories of Saturday (Sunday) evening TV, Lee Majors and that Chevy pickup.

Eith some recent client work (finally), they were not a fan of BEM'ing everything and I tried and failed to find 'the post' I was looking for about how we could name things and write CSS instead.

Just found it:

I want something like a windows manager for mac, but I want it to arrange my spaces & fullscreen apps. It doesn't seem like any of them do that?

I almost exclusively work in fullscreen - but with the spaces arranged differently depending on what monitors are attached.

@mia stay seems to work for me still, across two monitors or laptop.

Combined with BetterSnapTool it works great*

*your mileage may vary

@mia ah, for spaces I specify what app should be in what space using the MacOS options. Currently at 7 spaces for various things.

I don't know why - but I can never get on with full screen apps ¯_(ツ)_/¯
