  • If you could "skill trade", what would you trade?

    Jump

  • I'm at a point in life where money isn't the issue. The bottlenecks are always time and energy. Someday I'll have time to focus on music (and skiing, and backpacking, and drawing, and ...).

  • I have a tangent related to 90's social skills: I wish I had attended university before the high-speed internet era. We collectively replaced so much face-to-face interaction with stupid Flash games and scrolling ebaumsworld.

  • I would trade my accumulated engineering training and skills in order to be a great musician. I'm done with office work, staring at a screen all day, and coming home mentally exhausted. I want to be able to go to a jam session and shred with the best.

  • InDesign is on subscription licenses like the rest of Adobe's products, unfortunately.

    My wife does book layouts and miscellaneous graphic design work, and she's been using Adobe tools for so long it's like muscle memory. Using anything else that's slightly different is akin to someone rearrange your kitchen while you are away. The tools you need are still there, but now you have to go hunting for every little thing.

  • For various reasons, my family is tied to a small number of programs that don't have 1:1 equivalents on Linux. So far nobody is willing to deal with the inconvenience of switching to alternatives. I'm trying my best to convert them, though.

    If GIMP and Inkscape looked and felt closer to Photoshop and Illustrator, that would help greatly. Also, if I could find a good alternative to InDesign that wasn't tied to a cloud service or a subscription license.

  • Do you volunteer?

    Jump

  • That sound like so much fun!

  • Do you volunteer?

    Jump

  • For the last few years I have been heavily involved in scouts due to my kids. It's the first time I have had a volunteer role that felt semi-professional: I'm organizing other adults, managing money, planning events weeks or months in advance, etc. I didn't initially want to be so involved. I gradually volunteered for one role after another because shit needed to get done and nobody else was willing to do it. I feel like I'm flying by the seat of my pants, but everyone seems happy with my work so I guess I'm not screwing up too much.

    Previously I did a handful of "warm body" volunteer jobs where I just had to show up on schedule and follow instructions. Fixing kids' bikes was the most fun, but serving the poor was the most rewarding. The best volunteer role was delivering and serving dinners at a tent city hosted by a local church. We would join them for the meal and talk around the table. That was eye-opening. I went away with a lot more compassion for the homeless, and a lot more disdain for all the little ways my country makes their lives unnecessarily hard.

  • Thanks for posting these. Graham Annable is a gem.

  • Who still uses IRC and why?

    Jump

  • And for those people using IRC: which network(s) do you use? I have fuzzy memories of EFnet and DALnet being big, but I've been away from IRC for a long time.

    Edit: Holy shit, I just logged into a DALnet channel I frequented in the late 90's and a bunch of the same users are still there! It's like a time capsule!

  • Too many times I've been out of the house with the kids and had people say things like, "You're on Mom duty today, eh? Ha ha." It's frustrating that so many people have such low expectations for dads.

  • What are some unique things that sucks about getting old?

    Jump

  • I don't know if there's anything unique about aging. The shittiest part of aging IMO is the random life-changing medical events you cannot foresee or prevent. It could be as simple as stumbling on uneven ground and tearing your ACL, or as extreme as being diagnosed with some unusual cancer.
