I’m currently editing this MDX document on a 7th generation iPad. I’m serious.
In an attempt to reduce distractions, I finally charged up my iPad and brought it and only it
(…okay, and a notebook and pencils but that’s it) to Starbucks. I wish I had decent headphones with me to listen to music on but
for some reason all of my food headphones keep blowing up breaking down way quicker than they have any right to. Pain.
I forgot how surprisingly usable this Logitech Combo Touch keyboard & trackpad are. The trackpad is definitely not the best (hell, it still has an actual hinge that is really awkward to press down on), and the keyboard is slightly cramped, but all absolutely works. In fact, in terms of the key travel and feel in general… it’s honestly comparable in quality to my M1 MacBook Air. Wild.
For some additional context, I first bought this iPad in Christmas of 2019. That means that this iPad is 4 years old getting very fucking close to 5. And it’s still kickin’. My older Intel MacBook Air is either from 2017 or 2019 (can’t remember which right now but leaning 2017) and that felt absolutely ancient. This iPad? It’s fine. It’s definitely long in the tooth — but considering the closest upgrade with ideal accessories would make me pay just as much as I did for my M1 Air… I absolutely don’t feel like I need to upgrade any time soon. And if I do? I might just go for the mini… when it gets the M-series update (pretty please Timmothy Microwave??? 🥺👉👈).
I’m gonna try to push a sharefeed update too, but I’m not sure how that is going to go. I’m currently using a text editor built into the git client Working Copy. It works… but it definitely is not feature rich nor very language sensitive. Hopefully it will do just as fine editing JSON as it is editing markdown though.
By the way, if you’re reading this, please check out my RSS feeds and shoot me an email about what you think of them. I haven’t had anyone comment to me about them yet, and I wanna make sure they’re working good for people other than me. Also, I want to start working on making journal updates crosspost on both my RSS feed and my social medias (cohost, fedi, & bsky). Just a little bit of that Al Gore Rhythm goodness never hurt anyone! 0:3
It might also be a good idea to turn some of my longer threads on my Telegram channel (yes, I have one, you can’t have it lol) into journal updates on here when I don’t have a lot to say. I wanna keep up this weird streak of actually writing shit going, and repurposing some of my older content here would help a lot with that.
Anyways thanks for reading, next blog post coming never I only write journal posts now sorry not sorry ex dee
oh and here’s some lesbian stoner rock just for you opens in a new tab
