💻 How the code for NetNewsWire is organised 🧚♀️ “I would also just observe that as World of Warcraft evolved over the years, it actually kind of became less social, because in an effort to achieve more accessibility, we removed some of the reasons why you need to play with the same group of people over and over.”
Category: Miscellany
Wordpress expects every post to have at least one category. If you just roll with the vanilla setup then Wordpress will call your default category “Uncategorized.” To me, this suggests a lack of rigor; a lapse in attention to detail; a sense of “who cares?”
Well, I care.
Some posts are going to be just for fun. Slices of life. Miscellaneous. So I’m taking Austin Kleon’s cue and have renamed “Uncategorized” to “Miscellany.”
Much better.
Warren Ellis’s laptop keyboard
Comic & TV writer Warren Ellis often posts photos of recently acquired media. A recent one included a glimpse at his well worn laptop keyboard.
The A key is blank and the S is nearly worn off from, you know, work. I love this.
I also kind of want WASD or some such company to donate him a mechanical keyboard. I imagine the sound of Ellis at work on Cherry MX Blues would be cacophonous.
🖖 Is Star Trek set in the same universe as Days of Our Lives? 🧚♂️ “If you have a personal goal and a thing that you’re trying to do in life and you decided this is when you’re going to write the book, or put up the shelves or learn to speak a foreign language or whatever and you look around and you go a month went by, and all I managed to do was prepare food three times a day and shower. Great, well done.” – Neil Gaiman, locked down in Havelock North
Creating and naming are separate skills. Creating is hard, slow work, while naming is a flourish that is completed in an instant. That’s why god had to make the animals, if you believe in such things, but the naming of them could be left to a nude man with no education.
