Using Regular Expressions to Speed Up Editing

While writing Duplicity (and editing Centricity), I vacillated on my number formatting.

It’s super slow to search for each number one at a time. Regular expressions to the rescue!
I feel like I’m late to this p Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Nathaniel Henderson (?)

“Start from now. Mama’s voice reached across the Canopy. We stand upon our past. It’s a foundation we cannot change. But every rolling second, the future becomes the past. And what we do next, that we do have control over.”
