Ross of OttawaHmm: zsh or bash? Mac pushes you towards the former, but I usually resist.
I've always worked with the latter, but is it worth changing? I see some articles claiming zsh does some fancy stuff.
Not sure how much of my stuff will break. I've been avoiding all dev-related work for the better part of a year.
Maybe that's a good time to change?
#developer #macos #zsh #bash
Ross of OttawaDid a #Gimp install, which gave me version 3.08. The open file dialog seems to be terrifically buggy. Whew!
It opens an easy-to-find file okay, but try to customize it and it's rather messed up.
I'll have to go file some bug reports when I get through this.
#newComputer
Ross of OttawaInteresting - same open-file dialog bugs in GIMP appear in Inkscape too.
The bookmarks (favourites) behave strangely. Adding to them and attempting to drag puts one of them way off the window hanging off the corner of your display and inaccessible.
Ross of OttawaI was terrified to install the new #Blender (5.01) I've been using v2.93 for fear of new nasty learning curves, or broken workflows.
Turns out it's gone smoothly. One weird minor UI element (with "select all") but otherwise a big sigh of relief.
Weird that exporting a personalized theme involves digging an XML file out of the depths of your disk, yet there's a simple "import" button to pull it in. lol

#newComputer
Ross of OttawaFurther to the #newComputer setup process, I've got all my files onto new machine, and the backups are running smoothly. Yay.
Working my way through apps and often getting newer versions in the process. Preference and theme export/import from old machine is not always clear of user friendly, but I'm getting there.

Ross of OttawaHuh - I've had a package "out for delivery" for the past four days. Maybe the driver is on foot, and stuck in a snowbank.
Ross of OttawaYeah, I guess it's been a little while… Don't hold your breath.
Ross of OttawaFinally broke down and did a full clearing of snow, instead of just walkway and steps.
Of course that immediately made it snow again and harder.
Ross of OttawaStill cleaning up old files, and found this one.
At the height of the #COVID lockdowns I apparently rigged up an #arduino and a miniature display in one of my weaker moments.
An alternative rapid-test experience after doing so many less-entertaining tests.
#pacman #maker
Ross of OttawaIt was a fun little #maker project. I meant to put little displays into some other unexpected places but haven't followed through.
