More a/v messing around 🔗
I got a boom for my USB shotgun mic (a Rode VideoMic GO). It mounts on the back of my desk and swings in and out of place between calls. It sits about eight inches away from my face, but just off camera (yay relatively tight 23mm crop) and the sound quality is sooo much better than when I had it mounted in my X-T2’s hot shoe. Much more presence and bass, much less reverb. Okay. Time to start a podcast. I can feel it.
tmux alternative 🔗
Zellij is a terminal multiplexer ala screen or tmux, but it’s got a nicer onboarding ramp than either thanks to a decent menu that exposes most of what you need and out-of-the-box UX touches.
Through the holidays 🔗
We had a pretty good holiday season this year. Ben was home from his first term at UofO, and we had a quiet couple of weeks with few obligations. Work was pretty quiet, too: We had a major system change slated for the interim week, then the vendor backed out, so there was a little bit of “shrug, I guess there’s this paperwork to catch up on,” which is a fine way to spend that week.
It’s good to be almost on the other side: We have a balance day off this Friday, so this will be a three-day week, then back to normal next week.
