Similar, though more in an exploratory sense. Never really had a single notes platform.

Therefore, the first question I ask when looking at a new platform is “what are the export options?” usually followed by “can I reformat that to something familiar with pandoc and/or Perl?”

There’s a certain inevitability in receiving instructions that turn my 10 line change into a 50 file merge conflict. #nobirb

Another thing I miss about working from home is being able to shout at the monitor without bothering anyone.

Got this trick where I do all my browsing in Firefox but OS default is set to Chrome so the work links I click from Slack still work.

Old trick from the IE 6 days.

@seven @thegibson If I ever commit to the task I will let you know. It’s fun to share your joys with friends.

@lindsays She is. And the better she gets to know me, the more she tries the cute noises rather than the alarm noises!

@lindsays She’s a sheltie, and small even for that breed!

I’d say this is a “focusing on details” stage but that’s nearly every stage when I’m #drawing.
