A Little Inconvience Is Okay

When you notice something is affecting your drive, find a way to adjust your environment. Even if it’s a little inconvenient to others.

Or even yourself. Hand writing my to-do list each morning is inconvenient but it gives me time to sort out the "must do" from the "want to do".

The Last Of Us Part 2 Trailer

Finally some real news about The Last of Us sequel. As you might know from reading this blog I'm a huge fan of the first part of this game. The gameplay, the story and the characters were all such a refreshing change. I'm playing through the first part of the game again and I'm almost done. Might have to give it another walk through before the release of part two when it comes.

It doesn’t get said enough. @dnsimple’s service and support are amazing.

Lately my email has been getting the better of me. Despite numerous attempt are curbing email, I still get quite a number of emails each day. Even if I skip my email for day, I know the following day will take twice as long to curb. The thing about email though is that it's still one of the easiest way of communicating.

Might be time for something better than Apple's Mail app which I've been using on my iPhone and MacBook Pro for years now. Might be time for Spark.

The MacBook Pro - Great for Hackers

It struck me odd how so many people took to the Internet announcing their disgust that the new MacBook Pro isn't made for developers. One particular blog post stood out amongst the rest as just being laughable. The glaring fact is that no-one had used it yet and were basing their opinions on a suggested outcome.

Glad to see that Adam Geitgey reserved his opinions until after he used it.

I’m not here to change your mind about the MacBook Pro. Yes, it’s probably too expensive and more RAM is better than less RAM. But everyone posting complaints without actually using a MBP for a few weeks is missing out on all the clever things you can do because it is built on USB-C. Over the past week or two with a new MacBook Pro (15in, 2.9ghz, TouchBar), I’ve been constantly surprised with how USB-C makes new things possible. It’s a kind of a hacker’s dream.
