Bookmark: Alfred Cheatsheet
I switched to Alfred for my app launcher/file manipulator/system controller. Launchbar was always one of the first apps I installed on a new mac but some basic features started to throw up errors recently so I tried Alfred and loved it. This is a handy list of hotkeys and shortcuts for a new user.

Bookmark: Jekyll Quickstart
Continuing my investigations into static web site generators. Pretty soon I’ll have an empty site based on all of them. Jekyll feels like a keeper though.

I’m back in the Sonos world again. Amazon products are too invasive and Apple HomePods are hopeless when it comes to integration with other services. You still can’t ask Siri to play BBC Radio stations.

Some good starter points for clueless beginners like me. Patching synths is like weird science.

1. The 400 Blows
2. Stolen Kisses
3. Small Change
4. Shoot The Pianist
5. Day For Night

I’m trying the WordPress block editor again. It still feels like overkill to me. It feels messy and distracting too which are things I thought it was supposed to solve. On another note I messed up the whole site today and had to roll back a couple of weeks so re-upping a few small things.

Read: I Wanna Be Yours by John Cooper Clarke ⭑⭑⭑⭑✩

Funny and unsentimental memoir from Clarke but the first half on his rise to fame (or infamy) is so much better than the latter sections.

Every season of The Kids In The Hall is on one of the streaming services. I wonder if it’s as good as I remember.

“Sergeant Colon had had a broad education. He’d been to the School of My Dad Always Said, the College of It Stands to Reason, and was now a postgraduate student at the University of What Some Bloke In the Pub Told Me.”

The number of password reset emails I get for my Instagram account increases as my interest in the service decreases. I haven’t posted anything there for over a year.
