Just hanging out. It's another nice day. It's snowing again in New York, so it's been a little weird. We haven't had snow in a few years, so this is a new experience.

It's not going to come down for a while. It's a piece of nostalgia, you know.

Yeah, we'll see.

Still NeoVim. I feel like a year ago I went through and I just completely ripped apart my NeoVim config and redid the whole thing, and it runs much better now. But yeah, still doing NeoVim. Love how much stuff is built in, right? You have to configure it, but there's trees that are built in, there's the LSP client built in, so a bunch of nice stuff built in for NeoVim.

I have started slowly moving myself over to ghosty. So that's, that's one thing I've liked it so far. I like the ease of configuration. I'm a real, I'm a big fan of this whole, like basically command line flags in a file. Like I like that. So simple. Yeah. Very clean. That is cool. But yeah, I mean as far as like, like, um,

software tools or software building tools no but as far as other tools yes because now that i'm doing post-production on a podcast i've had to relearn audition i've had to relearn final cut pro which is basically a completely different app because back when i you know got my degree we were still on final cut pro 7 so and and then final cut pro 10 came out and we were all like This is awful.

Don't use this as iMovie, but for prosumers, get rid of that. Blah, terrible. And in the decade-plus sense, it's grown into a mature NLE. So I've been learning Final Cut Pro 11. It's... Still got some things I don't like about it that still feel a little like more iMovie consumer-ish than professional editing tool. But overall, it's been a pretty good experience. Re-learning all of my shortcuts.

I've been using my trackpad way more than I like because it just slows you down in a lot of ways. Mm-hmm. But yeah, it's been a nice experience getting back into these familiar but old tools. So like new tools, but they're old tools at the same time.

It's sort of painful, I will say. I see that export to a Premiere button or menu item in Audition, and I'm like, I should just be doing this. But, you know, I'm on a Mac and there's a lot of really deep integration that Final Cut has with the hardware that I wanted to, you know, take advantage of if I could.

And unfortunately, Apple does not have a similar level DAW digital audio workstation for Apple. podcast editing. Like they have logic, but that's definitely more of a music based DAW that you can sort of squint at and turn it into like a spoken speech kind of thing. But it's like audition is definitely the gold standard for this type of audio content.
