Choosing Your Markdown Editor: A Comparison of Ulysses and Drafts

Ulysses and Drafts are both extraordinary apps. They each sit at the top of the heap of iOS Markdown editors, offering unique strengths that may appeal more to one type of user or another.

I’m a fan of Drafts, in fact, I’m using it to publish this link. I’ve tried Ulysses, it seems like it could be a very good tool for those who write a lot, but I don’t and I found a few things I didn’t really like about it. Each to their own, right.

Revealed: bank royal commission rap sheets made public

Assault, sexual harassment, ripped off children, homophobic treatment of customers and bankers setting up fake accounts in their customers’ names

The arrogance of the banks is just astounding. Go have a read of the shit they’ve been up to.

Building a tweet in Shortcuts

I’m still a little annoyed about the pause at the Pythonista step. Maybe there’s a trick I don’t know about to get it to return to the shortcut. Or maybe I should consider rewriting that step in JavaScript so I can use Scriptable, which I think is more suited for use as a Shortcuts step.

Watching: Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

As Scott Lang balances being both a Super Hero and a father, Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym present an urgent new mission that finds the Ant-Man fighting alongside The Wasp to uncover secrets from their past.

I’ve moved my domain / blog back to my own server, previously hosted on micro.blog, as I’ve started working on a larger project and so I needed to really re-familiarise myself with WordPress and managing servers and all the fun stuff that goes along with owning ones content.

Anyway, I’m writing this post to have an entry to work on the layout / design, with most of the elements I would typically use in a post.

Watching: Jerry Before Seinfeld (2017)

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld takes the stage at the comedy club where he began his career to recount his early life.

Finally, validation that people who drink black coffee are psychopaths

researchers asked 1,000 adults about their food preferences and also administered personality tests that help identify narcissism, psychopathy, aggression, and more. And surprise surprise, people who like bitter foods (such as black coffee) were more likely to exhibit not only psychopathy but also sadism.

Seems a bit harsh, but there may be a bit of truth to it…

Wellington Phoenix (2) : Newcastle Jets (1) – VAR at it again in scrappy affair

The referee performance was an absolute joke…and the VAR just made it worse.

Hopefully, this doesn’t become the story of the season. It will turn people away from football if it does.
