I updated a couple of my minor apps today so that they look correct on the latest macOS releases. The first, Feed Compass which is an app to help you find, preview, and subscribe to blogs. I also updated Feed Curator which is an OPML feed list editor. I also added multiple select for a Reddit user who was needing it. It felt good to help someone out and to finally update the appearance of these apps.

About a month ago Nic and I went to drag boat races in Parker, AZ. The start of them is right outside the bar at Pirates Den. It was pretty fun. We got to drink beer all day and watch the races, then crawl to van at the end of the night to sleep it off. Mike Finnegan from Roadkill was there to race his new boat. That was pretty great for me. I’m a huge Roadkill fan. Finnegan basically made a movie about it and put it on Youtube if you are curious as to what the experience there was like.

If someone has to tell you how good they are at something, their work doesn’t stand on its own. If someone won’t explain why they made a decision, it is because they know that it was a bad one. If someone tells you that you aren’t worth listening to, its because they are afraid of what you will say.

The main project I work on, @NetNewsWire got a shout out in the Atlantic today. How to Take Back Control of What You Read on the Internet

I messed up a @NetNewsWire merge recently. I left some Git merge conflict markers in a couple files. @danielpunkass suggested that a pre-commit Git Hook could prevent this in the future. So I made one.. Daniel has added this to his global Git templates. You should too.

Just another day at the office.

I got new wheels and tires on the van. They look great, but the larger size puts more strain on my little 4.6 V8. I completely blew a spark plug out of the engine from pushing it to hard coming up a mountain pass. Life on the road…
