Editing

Mac doesn’t support Cut and Paste from Finder using: CMD-X CMD-V But you can achieve exactly the same results by using: CMD-C and then CMD-OPT-V This isn’t very intuitive as most OS’s use Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V, but the functionality is there if a little hidden.

So I thought why not just delete all the history and reduce the junk in the site directories....

Bring back personal blogging This post from the Verge appeared on my feed this morning: Twitter is creaking. Social media seems less fun than ever. Maybe it’s time to get a little more personal. In the beginning, there were blogs, and they were the original social web. We built community. We found our people. We wrote personally. We wrote frequently.
