Can’t say I’m a fan of the new @textexpander subscription. I like paying for software I use regularly, but $50 per year! No upgrade for me.
And on the same day @medium announce a way for writers to get paid for their content. Good move!
Finally. A week off. Glad that I put the MacBook in for its battery replacement this week. No temptation to do any work while it’s away.
What is Art?
I love Tanmay's definition of art.
Art isn’t just about doing fancy stuff or indulging into painting, dancing etc. Your work becomes art when it changes others for better. When your ideas and insights change the conversations. When you overcome resistance to start, execute and most importantly, finish what you start. When you have the humility to accept what needs to improve and change. When you have the courage to truly ship your work, let it intersect with the context and make a difference. When you bring your humanity into everything you do. When you refine, improvise and evolve your art.

SQL Server Mgmt Studio could really do with Sublime Text’s “Goto Anything” feature. Navigating the tree with hundreds of objects is torture.
It’s good to be shipping. #thewebdevlife
A tablet that runs Ubuntu is now available for pre-order.
I've toyed with the idea of adding a tablet to my list of development tools for when I'm out and about, but the lack of a terminal app and web development tools for iOS means that the iPad isn't an option for me.
I've also considered a Chromebook, but the inability to completely remove the ChromeOS has put me off it.
I'm definitely curious from a developer's perspective about this new Ubuntu tablet. It could fill the niche of a portable web development tool.
