That’s ok - very few ears can utilize it either ;-)

Even now I still hope that rumour is true - a genuinely well designed email app made the usual high standard of polish synonymous with Panic software would be amazing.
I was 15 years + user of Illustrator and Photoshop - now I actively avoid embedding myself any further into their eco-system.
Has anyone else managed to solve that problem?
- 100 minute long lessons - because they found that it minimises transition time between lessons - 35 minute lunch break and very short mid lesson breaks - twilight lessons - lessons both before and after school to study additional subjects (which is optional)
- easily scale the recipe to make different quantities
- convert units used to one you’re more familiar with.
- wherever the recipe says ‘do x for 10 minutes’ you can tap on the time and it’ll allow you to set a timer for that one piece.
The 'docs' theme is intended as a quick way to produce a documentation website based on Next, which you can obviously customise further with your own components if needed.
My job was a gigantic jigsaw puzzle of watching the pictures and reuniting it with the correct sound for the first time since the original movie.
Nagra made some amazing machines - such incredible precise engineering.
There’s definitely some interesting material in there - members of the band reflecting on why the Beatles are falling apart, moments where iconic Beatles songs came into being.
Not being a particular Beatles fan I worked on the project for about 9 months and came away with a much greater respect for them.
I’d suggest your viewpoint is highly likely to be one of privilege, not from one of poverty.
For years I’d battled with the perception of sports I’d been give by school - that sports were for those who ‘had ability’. I didn’t have ability, never got picked for teams, and consequently didn’t ‘do’ sport.
When it’s tried running in the past I would go out once, feel rubbish, then never run again. Couch to 5k gives you a framework to make small exertions that feel challenging without defeating you entirely, then gradually increases those exertions until you’re running 5k without difficulty.
The other switch for me was psychological. Doing sport isn’t about being objectively ‘good’ at it, or about being faster than other people. I compete against myself only, and do it for the physical and mental health benefits.
Can definitely recommend Parkrun too if you have one near you - a little bit of community can be really helpful. The times when you least feel like exercising are often the times when it’s most needed - and community can help keep the rhythm going in those times.
So many happy memories of weekends spent entering game code from the back of magazines and then venturing into writing our own. Genuinely don't think I'd be in the software industry today if it hadn't been for his creations.
Our startup was based in the garden office of a large house and the production server was situated in a cupboard in the same room.
The day I started was a cold January day and I’d had to cycle through flooded pathways to get to work that morning - so by the time I arrived my feet were soaked.
Once I’d settled down to a desk I asked if I could plug a heater in to dry my shoes. As we were in a garden office every socket was an extension cable so I plugged the heater in to the one under my desk.
A few minutes later I noticed that I couldn’t access the live site I’d been looking through - and others were noticing the same.
It turned out the heater I was using had popped the fuse on the socket. The extension I was using was plugged into the UPS used by the servers. So the battery had warmed my feet for a few minutes before shutting down and taking the servers down too.
And that’s how I brought production down within 3 hours of starting my first job in the web industry…
I wonder how other people see design fitting into that mix? The fact that EM is recognised - but somehow "Design Management" (research, prototyping, design vision, user experience etc) isn't feels like it too often leads to an imbalance in the way that products are built.
He was an excellent teacher - one of the things he majored on was ‘blind’ familiarity with the keyboard. He would get you to close your eyes, then ask you to pick out, for example, all the Cs on the keyboard going up the octaves. Made a huge difference to my confidence in positioning my hands at speed…
