These are not Google Drive’s Toasted Nuts

Wednesday, 28 Dec 2022 Episode page

Scott hates Google Drive, Peter hates software on GitHub and searching for virtual KVM's, but they both love a good cup of coffee.

00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:04.640
i can’t find it. why don’t i have Friends with Brews? i think i deleted the wrong one.

00:00:04.640 –> 00:00:12.240
I haveoh here it is. Friends with Brews! Best opening ever. Best opening ever of a best week opening ever.

00:00:12.240 –> 00:00:18.960
What a week. Whew. Well you had the best opening ever. I saw the best finale ever to the World Cup just now.

00:00:18.960 –> 00:00:25.920
Holy moly. Yeah I think a lot of people did including I saw people posting on Mastodon.

00:00:25.920 –> 00:00:31.120
Yeah, you know what? I almost said I saw people posting on Mastodon that they don’t like soccer

00:00:31.120 –> 00:00:36.560
It is boring and yet they thought that was the most exciting thing they’ve ever seen. Yeah, it was an amazing

00:00:36.560 –> 00:00:44.040
Minus the I don’t like soccer part. I do like soccer. I did enjoy one woman’s comment though on Mastodon

00:00:44.040 –> 00:00:47.820
She said if I want to see men who can’t score. I’ll just go read the comments on Twitter

00:00:47.820 –> 00:00:52.800
Funny funny. Okay. Okay. Hey speaking of Mastodon

00:00:53.480 –> 00:00:59.200
Real quick. I don’t think this is gonna be a Mastodon episode. No, but what is your preferred?

00:00:59.200 –> 00:01:05.340
Desktop Mastodon client the website. They’re all I was wondering mammoth has

00:01:05.340 –> 00:01:08.240
mammoth has

00:01:08.240 –> 00:01:13.360
Mammoths. Oh my god, Scott mammoth. Yeah, definitely mammoth time for mammoth Wapner

00:01:13.360 –> 00:01:19.880
Okay, let me start all over. It’s been a week. And as you know, I was just waking up. We just headed to podcast

00:01:21.280 –> 00:01:27.060
Okay, which is great you wake up on the wrong side of the bed you’re exhausted you’re pissy you’re angry at everything

00:01:27.060 –> 00:01:29.460
Let’s record. I’m actually not this time

00:01:29.460 –> 00:01:33.800
I was angry last week for reasons that you know why because I was really physically out of sorts

00:01:33.800 –> 00:01:35.840
Uh-huh

00:01:35.840 –> 00:01:41.080
No, actually I was gonna say that’s the one thing it’s been a week and I do feel utterly exhausted

00:01:41.080 –> 00:01:46.120
But the one nice thing about being physically trained is my body still feels good. Like I still feel good

00:01:46.760 –> 00:01:50.400
Mm-hmm, so I saw I’m in a good mood because that now what were you gonna talk about?

00:01:50.400 –> 00:01:52.740
What was I gonna come in on? What was I trying to say?

00:01:52.740 –> 00:01:57.120
Oh mammoth mammoth may not specifically be written to run on the Mac

00:01:57.120 –> 00:02:02.520
But it runs on the Mac and I don’t know if that’s just because it gets the iPad it runs on the Apple silicon Mac

00:02:02.520 –> 00:02:09.880
And I don’t know if that’s just because it’s running the straight iPad version or if he actually is tweaking it for a Mac version

00:02:09.880 –> 00:02:12.720
I can’t remember. It’s in test flight. I think it probably

00:02:12.720 –> 00:02:15.720
Let me open test flight mammoth

00:02:15.720 –> 00:02:25.440
It doesn’t say? So I’m guessing that he just said run it on all platforms, but he’s probably

00:02:25.440 –> 00:02:29.680
not doing anything to make it specifically Mac-like. So anyway, the reason I don’t use

00:02:29.680 –> 00:02:35.040
Mammoth on the Mac is because every time I try to post something it just crashes. It just disappears.

00:02:35.040 –> 00:02:37.560
That’s a good reason to not use it on the Mac.

00:02:37.560 –> 00:02:40.840
Yeah, on the other hand, it keeps you from saying things you’ll regret later.

00:02:40.840 –> 00:02:43.640
Well, that’s also a good reason.

00:02:43.640 –> 00:02:49.160
So I use the website and then of course on iPad and iPhone I use the ivory

00:02:49.160 –> 00:02:53.640
Test flight beta right and I’m using that as well. I haven’t done much with it

00:02:53.640 –> 00:03:00.320
I’ve only posted like two things I noticed but you know, that’s okay. I’m okay with that. I’m trying to get you involved more

00:03:00.320 –> 00:03:08.880
I’m I am okay not being wedded to another social media site with me the balance like

00:03:08.880 –> 00:03:11.200
if I am watching

00:03:11.360 –> 00:03:17.120
security folks and I want like the latest news and stuff, then that’s one thing. But

00:03:17.120 –> 00:03:22.240
I don’t need like, okay, Twitter’s gone. I haven’t been like actively looking at Twitter

00:03:22.240 –> 00:03:27.580
in years. I get that. Well, I know that. Anyway. Yeah. So, so I’m not looking for something

00:03:27.580 –> 00:03:31.760
to look at, but, but I like the things that you curate for me, Scott. You might as well

00:03:31.760 –> 00:03:38.580
enjoy it in the good days. This is as good as Mastodon’s ever going to get in terms of

00:03:38.580 –> 00:03:39.980
Lack of a**holes.

00:03:39.980 –> 00:03:40.980
Probably.

00:03:40.980 –> 00:03:47.060
And on the same token, we now have the owner of Twitter over there banning journalists

00:03:47.060 –> 00:03:49.740
and links to Mastodon.

00:03:49.740 –> 00:03:50.740
Did you see that part?

00:03:50.740 –> 00:03:52.260
I totally missed that a couple days ago.

00:03:52.260 –> 00:03:54.440
Yeah, he’s not naive and well-meaning.

00:03:54.440 –> 00:03:56.440
He’s naive and very ill-intentioned.

00:03:56.440 –> 00:04:00.340
Oh, let’s talk about our brews before we get any further.

00:04:00.340 –> 00:04:01.340
Yeah, let’s.

00:04:01.340 –> 00:04:02.340
Why don’t you go first?

00:04:02.340 –> 00:04:03.340
Because I got to pick up the name again.

00:04:03.340 –> 00:04:04.580
Today’s a coffee day.

00:04:04.580 –> 00:04:05.880
It is a coffee day.

00:04:05.880 –> 00:04:06.880
Coffee day for me as well.

00:04:06.880 –> 00:04:13.360
Okay, I’m having a Water Avenue, which is brewed in Portland, where I live.

00:04:13.360 –> 00:04:16.840
Water Avenue, my goal in life by the way, Peter, is to make everyone think that that’s

00:04:16.840 –> 00:04:21.480
actually how you say Portland, and have everyone say “Portland” so that I can tell that they’re

00:04:21.480 –> 00:04:23.400
a listener to this podcast.

00:04:23.400 –> 00:04:24.400
Portlandia.

00:04:24.400 –> 00:04:28.880
Water Avenue, coffee company, Wonderland.

00:04:28.880 –> 00:04:30.040
Perfect for Portland.

00:04:30.040 –> 00:04:34.800
It’s a cozy blend for misty mornings, and I gotta say it was a little misty earlier.

00:04:34.800 –> 00:04:40.360
It’s a medium roast, wonderfully balanced with festive tasting notes of, get ready for

00:04:40.360 –> 00:04:44.620
this, baking spice, brown sugar, and toasted nuts.

00:04:44.620 –> 00:04:45.620
Huh.

00:04:45.620 –> 00:04:48.760
These are not your father’s toasted nuts, by the way.

00:04:48.760 –> 00:04:51.720
I couldn’t have read it better myself.

00:04:51.720 –> 00:04:53.600
Oh my god.

00:04:53.600 –> 00:04:58.240
These are not your father’s toasted nuts.

00:04:58.240 –> 00:04:59.720
You didn’t make that up, did you?

00:04:59.720 –> 00:05:01.000
No, I did, actually.

00:05:01.000 –> 00:05:02.000
That part I made up.

00:05:02.000 –> 00:05:03.000
Oh, you did?

00:05:03.000 –> 00:05:05.700
I did make up the part about these are not your father’s toasted nuts.

00:05:05.700 –> 00:05:06.760
Okay. Okay.

00:05:06.760 –> 00:05:09.240
Seemed like it. I just am offering it up to them.

00:05:09.240 –> 00:05:11.440
If they’re listening by chance,

00:05:11.440 –> 00:05:14.360
I want them to know that not only do we want sponsorship,

00:05:14.360 –> 00:05:15.840
they can have that slogan for free.

00:05:15.840 –> 00:05:17.640
Awesome. Well,

00:05:17.640 –> 00:05:22.440
I am drinking a cup of Wegmans Dark Horizon

00:05:22.440 –> 00:05:23.440
coffee.

00:05:23.440 –> 00:05:25.840
That is a dark horizon. Is it an event horizon?

00:05:25.840 –> 00:05:29.840
It’s bold with, uh, with notes of dark chocolate.

00:05:29.840 –> 00:05:32.440
It is a medium dark roast.

00:05:32.460 –> 00:05:38.160
Now you know, normally I go all in on the dark stuff, but I say dark horizon, it’s distant

00:05:38.160 –> 00:05:39.160
horizon.

00:05:39.160 –> 00:05:40.160
Did I say distant?

00:05:40.160 –> 00:05:41.160
It’s distant, distant horizon.

00:05:41.160 –> 00:05:42.160

Distant event horizon.

00:05:42.160 –> 00:05:43.660

There’s no event in it.

00:05:43.660 –> 00:05:45.580
It’s distant horizon.

00:05:45.580 –> 00:05:46.580
And I like it a lot.

00:05:46.580 –> 00:05:52.140
The first time I’ve had it was this morning, and I am on my third cup and I have not put

00:05:52.140 –> 00:05:53.220
anything in it.

00:05:53.220 –> 00:05:55.500
Didn’t put any cream, which I normally do.

00:05:55.500 –> 00:06:00.860
I suspect it probably would taste even better with cream, but I wanted to just taste it

00:06:00.860 –> 00:06:03.100
straight up and it’s really nice.

00:06:03.100 –> 00:06:06.060
From the website, bold with notes of dark chocolate,

00:06:06.060 –> 00:06:08.720
blend of beans from Colombia, Brazil,

00:06:08.720 –> 00:06:11.140
Ethiopia, and Nicaragua.

00:06:11.140 –> 00:06:14.300
From crop to cup, sourced and roasted with care,

00:06:14.300 –> 00:06:16.780
our supplier partner has direct relationships

00:06:16.780 –> 00:06:18.900
with global coffee farmers that bring you the best

00:06:18.900 –> 00:06:22.220
and responsibly sourced coffee from around the world.

00:06:22.220 –> 00:06:24.820
Our food you feel good about, Yellow Banner,

00:06:24.820 –> 00:06:27.140
is your shortcut to great tasting products

00:06:27.140 –> 00:06:30.340
with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

00:06:30.340 –> 00:06:32.760
Yes, these are not your father’s toasted nuts.

00:06:32.760 –> 00:06:35.560
It says nothing about your father’s toasted nuts.

00:06:35.560 –> 00:06:36.560
Okay.

00:06:36.560 –> 00:06:39.260
Oh my god.

00:06:39.260 –> 00:06:42.020
I’m so glad that I grew up and became an adult.

00:06:42.020 –> 00:06:52.880
I am actually happy to report that my father is safe and sound.

00:06:52.880 –> 00:06:56.400
So Vermont got a huge load of snow.

00:06:56.400 –> 00:06:57.400
Giant blizzard.

00:06:57.400 –> 00:07:00.640
Oh, oh, I thought this was back to the falling incident

00:07:00.640 –> 00:07:08.420
No, they had a load of snow like two feet my debt by my dad’s asked a snow falling incident and a couple yes

00:07:08.420 –> 00:07:11.600
Exactly that kind of falling and a couple of years ago

00:07:11.600 –> 00:07:18.300
I had persuaded him to put in a generator and I’m glad he has because for two days he had no power

00:07:18.300 –> 00:07:23.100
I don’t even know if he has any power now because he told me he was gonna snow blow and get out to the propane

00:07:23.100 –> 00:07:26.500
Generator to see or to the propane tank to check the fuel level

00:07:26.740 –> 00:07:32.900
But he’s basically been running on generator power for the last two days now and it’s great when I heard Adam

00:07:32.900 –> 00:07:35.580
saying on blurring the lines that

00:07:35.580 –> 00:07:40.760
His daughter’s boyfriend I think was questioning him about why you would want

00:07:40.760 –> 00:07:49.220
Backup stores of food like extra food supply on hand. Uh-huh. I thought to myself, you know, we do have some stuff

00:07:49.220 –> 00:07:54.380
Stored away, but we’re not as good as we could be. Mm-hmm

00:07:54.500 –> 00:07:59.580
I’ll freely admit that but to wonder why it’s a good idea. Ah

00:07:59.580 –> 00:08:08.660
Hello, I have an ex-girlfriend and this was right when covid was getting started and I was stocking up on

00:08:08.660 –> 00:08:11.380
dried foods rice beans

00:08:11.380 –> 00:08:17.200
Oatmeal right coffee and then other stuff that was just last forever

00:08:17.200 –> 00:08:19.860
peanut butter speaking of toasted nuts

00:08:20.860 –> 00:08:27.980
Cans of tuna canned vegetables and she was like, why would you why would you get canned vegetables?

00:08:27.980 –> 00:08:30.660
We can get fresh and I was like, you don’t

00:08:30.660 –> 00:08:34.620
Get it. Do you this isn’t about the quality of the eating experience?

00:08:34.620 –> 00:08:37.540
Exactly. This was like, you know

00:08:37.540 –> 00:08:43.680
I want to make sure I have something to eat and I’m gonna worry about how tasty and healthy it is later right now

00:08:43.680 –> 00:08:45.680
Honestly, I’m looking for calories

00:08:47.360 –> 00:08:53.140
Let me live first. Let me stay alive for a little while and then I’ll worry about the fine dining experience

00:08:53.140 –> 00:08:55.600
Uh-huh

00:08:55.600 –> 00:09:00.160
Exactly. Was that the end? Was that the day you broke up there? It came shortly after actually

00:09:00.160 –> 00:09:05.780
It wasn’t that wasn’t the day but it was it was it was it was it was that day adjacent

00:09:05.780 –> 00:09:14.400
Anyway, so so you we both I think we have two thumbs up for our coffees. Is that safe to say?

00:09:14.400 –> 00:09:18.600
Yeah, I think so. I think every time I have a coffee that I haven’t tried before,

00:09:18.600 –> 00:09:22.100
there’s a little experimentation before I get the brewing of it exactly right.

00:09:22.100 –> 00:09:26.900
And to be honest, I’m very non-scientific. I’m scientific about my baseline brew.

00:09:26.900 –> 00:09:32.600
But I’m very non-scientific about what changes I make, and I can’t even tell you what they are.

00:09:32.600 –> 00:09:36.400
I just kind of go by feel, and then it turns out better, and I’m like,

00:09:36.400 –> 00:09:39.000
“Hey, this coffee’s better than I thought because I brewed it right this time.”

00:09:39.000 –> 00:09:43.400
So I think so. Right now, this one’s a tiny bit bitterer than I would like,

00:09:43.400 –> 00:09:50.040
but my assumption is that I just need a few less… I need less grams of beans for this one compared

00:09:50.040 –> 00:09:55.480
to other ones maybe, and I think it would be really good. I think if I just dropped a couple

00:09:55.480 –> 00:10:01.320
grams of beans off the list and maybe… yeah, probably that was the biggest thing. Cool,

00:10:01.320 –> 00:10:07.880
all right. I don’t change a whole lot else. So, it is Sunday, but I do have things going on today,

00:10:07.880 –> 00:10:11.720
so let’s stay on track. I’m not bailing on you, but I am trying to keep us focused. So,

00:10:11.720 –> 00:10:15.720
So what else is next? Talk to me about the Google Drive user interface.

00:10:15.720 –> 00:10:21.720
Yeah, I think I lost a follower on Mastodon because I was saying that Google has never

00:10:21.720 –> 00:10:25.520
been able to design a UI to save their lives because I think they just fundamentally don’t

00:10:25.520 –> 00:10:28.940
understand human beings, which I think is a fair assessment.

00:10:28.940 –> 00:10:34.380
Have you used Microsoft OneDrive or SharePoint? Yeah.

00:10:34.380 –> 00:10:37.880
Have you used SharePoint? Yeah, I’ve used SharePoint. I hate SharePoint.

00:10:37.880 –> 00:10:43.000
Okay. I mean, I not just calm yourself. I can see your blood pressure.

00:10:43.000 –> 00:10:46.680
So I can see your pulse already pulsing through your ATP cat. Just calm down,

00:10:46.680 –> 00:10:51.040
calm down, calm down. No, in all seriousness, what I’m saying is I agree with you.

00:10:51.040 –> 00:10:53.360
Google drives, UI is a little bit crap,

00:10:53.360 –> 00:10:57.040
but then I compare it to one of those times when I have to use SharePoint and

00:10:57.040 –> 00:11:00.000
I’m like, Oh my God, this is so much worse.

00:11:00.000 –> 00:11:03.840
But at least with SharePoint, if you say add a document, it says, Oh,

00:11:03.840 –> 00:11:05.440
we’re in a certain folder.

00:11:05.520 –> 00:11:08.640
Maybe I should add that document here and it adds it there.

00:11:08.640 –> 00:11:12.080
Google Drive, you make a copy of an existing document

00:11:12.080 –> 00:11:14.640
that’s in the friends with beer folder.

00:11:14.640 –> 00:11:17.660
Which is the folder that I share with you?

00:11:17.660 –> 00:11:19.340
So that you can see it.

00:11:19.340 –> 00:11:20.180
Yeah.

00:11:20.180 –> 00:11:22.760
Now, if I just make a copy of our template

00:11:22.760 –> 00:11:24.720
and I start making show notes for today,

00:11:24.720 –> 00:11:26.940
do you think Peter Nikolaidis is going to be able to see it?

00:11:26.940 –> 00:11:29.940
No, because it doesn’t put it in the same drive.

00:11:29.940 –> 00:11:32.680
It doesn’t put it in the friends with beer folder.

00:11:32.680 –> 00:11:38.680
it puts it up in my personal drive in the root directory so that Peter cannot see it,

00:11:38.680 –> 00:11:43.480
because that seems like the most logical reason I’d want to copy a file is to move it the hell away,

00:11:43.480 –> 00:11:50.920
not to change it slightly. It makes perfect sense. Why, Peter? They’re the only one that do that,

00:11:50.920 –> 00:11:58.040
as far as I know. Yeah, I cannot tell you why that would happen. And then at least when you go to

00:11:58.040 –> 00:12:04.120
SharePoint as slow and abominable and horrible as it is, it presents you with the stuff that

00:12:04.120 –> 00:12:09.120
the people want to be in each view. You get there, there’s some links, there’s some folders,

00:12:09.120 –> 00:12:12.260
blah blah blah, you go into the folders, the stuff is there, nothing moves around. You

00:12:12.260 –> 00:12:18.940
go to drive.google.com and it says, “I’m going to show them a dashboard of the amazing things

00:12:18.940 –> 00:12:23.040
that they don’t know exists.“ Yeah, not only do I not know they exist, I don’t want to

00:12:23.040 –> 00:12:27.520
know they exist. I’m looking for my folder. I don’t care about all that other stuff that

00:12:27.520 –> 00:12:32.240
somebody shared with me five billion years ago. I don’t care about the wallpaper that some idiot

00:12:32.240 –> 00:12:37.520
put in Google Drive instead of posting on a website. I don’t want it. I want my friends

00:12:37.520 –> 00:12:42.160
with beer folder. Show me that. How about show me the folders? They’re directly in my…

00:12:42.160 –> 00:12:48.160
So let me play Google’s advocate here for a second.

00:12:48.160 –> 00:12:49.280
Oh my god, you ass.

00:12:53.600 –> 00:12:57.840
one person could argue, and this is hilarious, right?

00:12:57.840 –> 00:13:01.740
That what they’re doing is more privacy.

00:13:01.740 –> 00:13:05.680
I can’t even stay with the straight face.

00:13:05.680 –> 00:13:07.880
By hiding your own stuff from you?

00:13:07.880 –> 00:13:11.160
Well, no, hiding it so that hiding it so that I don’t get,

00:13:11.160 –> 00:13:14.520
so you make a copy of it and I don’t see the copy by default.

00:13:14.520 –> 00:13:17.480
That part of it. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So you get to make your copy,

00:13:17.480 –> 00:13:19.760
but just in case you didn’t want to overshare.

00:13:19.760 –> 00:13:20.520
Okay.

00:13:20.520 –> 00:13:24.820
then what I need to do is test to see if that is the same way in non-shared folders

00:13:24.820 –> 00:13:29.680
because if it does the same thing with a non-shared folder then that is wrong.

00:13:29.680 –> 00:13:31.820
But that’s a point that I never thought of.

00:13:31.820 –> 00:13:35.020
So let me go to my drive.

00:13:35.020 –> 00:13:37.020
Yep, I’m going to make a new folder.

00:13:37.020 –> 00:13:38.320
New folder.

00:13:38.320 –> 00:13:40.320
I’m going to make a test.

00:13:40.320 –> 00:13:41.720
Testing.

00:13:41.720 –> 00:13:43.820
Yes, Google is very testing.

00:13:43.820 –> 00:13:45.320
Testing.

00:13:45.320 –> 00:13:47.020
Now I’m going to make a new document.

00:13:47.020 –> 00:13:48.920
Okay, so I go to untitled documents.

00:13:48.920 –> 00:13:50.780
So where does it, oh, I see what the problem is.

00:13:50.780 –> 00:13:53.280
The problem is that Google Drive and Google Docs

00:13:53.280 –> 00:13:55.460
want to be two separate things.

00:13:55.460 –> 00:13:56.320
Hmm.

00:13:56.320 –> 00:14:00.560
And so now when I say, hi, that’s the name of my document,

00:14:00.560 –> 00:14:04.640
saved to Drive, so now I want to go back to Drive.

00:14:04.640 –> 00:14:05.800
Oh, it did save it in testing.

00:14:05.800 –> 00:14:07.320
Okay, you know what?

00:14:07.320 –> 00:14:09.640
Good troubleshooting.

00:14:09.640 –> 00:14:12.080
You’re the software tester today, not me.

00:14:12.080 –> 00:14:14.120
That is exactly what Google’s doing.

00:14:14.120 –> 00:14:17.360
Believe me, when it comes to software, I can be testing.

00:14:17.360 –> 00:14:19.000
Oh, you’re very testing.

00:14:19.000 –> 00:14:19.500
I am testing.

00:14:19.500 –> 00:14:20.600
I can be trying, too.

00:14:20.600 –> 00:14:22.840
But see, normally I think of all the weird test cases.

00:14:22.840 –> 00:14:24.340
I didn’t even think about the fact

00:14:24.340 –> 00:14:26.400
that because it was a shared folder–

00:14:26.400 –> 00:14:27.560
yeah.

00:14:27.560 –> 00:14:28.480
OK.

00:14:28.480 –> 00:14:29.860
Good to know.

00:14:29.860 –> 00:14:30.600
You’re welcome.

00:14:30.600 –> 00:14:31.480
Brilliant.

00:14:31.480 –> 00:14:32.560
Thank you.

00:14:32.560 –> 00:14:33.880
Wow.

00:14:33.880 –> 00:14:35.640
Wait, I want you to mark this down.

00:14:35.640 –> 00:14:38.680
Scott Wilsey is admiring Peter Nikolaidis’ technical skills

00:14:38.680 –> 00:14:40.800
today.

00:14:40.800 –> 00:14:42.760
What?

00:14:42.760 –> 00:14:43.320
Yeah, OK.

00:14:43.320 –> 00:14:45.680
Thanks.

00:14:45.680 –> 00:14:46.680
I thought it was a nice thing.

00:14:46.680 –> 00:14:47.680
Ah.

00:14:47.680 –> 00:14:49.680
Okay, so we solved that mystery. That’s actually-

00:14:49.680 –> 00:14:50.680
Yay! You’re welcome.

00:14:50.680 –> 00:14:51.680
Alright, people.

00:14:51.680 –> 00:14:55.680
So, Peter is your, uh, consultant.

00:14:55.680 –> 00:14:57.680
Oh, man.

00:14:57.680 –> 00:14:59.680
Oh, oh, oh.

00:14:59.680 –> 00:15:00.680
I, uh, just-

00:15:00.680 –> 00:15:02.680
Last night, I forgot to tell you.

00:15:02.680 –> 00:15:05.680
I got a, uh, an email from, uh, our friends over at Meta

00:15:05.680 –> 00:15:08.680
asking if, um, I wanted to, uh, interview for their security engineering team.

00:15:08.680 –> 00:15:09.680
[Gasp]

00:15:09.680 –> 00:15:11.680
Oh my god. Are you serious?

00:15:11.680 –> 00:15:12.680
Mm-hmm.

00:15:12.680 –> 00:15:14.680
And you said, “No, you’re holding out to be on Twitter’s security team?”

00:15:14.680 –> 00:15:25.200
I might just do that. I might just do that. That’d be awesome. Oh, man.

00:15:25.200 –> 00:15:29.360
I have not responded. Anyway.

00:15:29.360 –> 00:15:31.640
That’s okay. That’s very minimal.

00:15:31.640 –> 00:15:33.040
Carry on. Yeah, carry on.

00:15:33.040 –> 00:15:37.320
Maybe you could get the goggles. You could be a virtual world security guy. You could

00:15:37.320 –> 00:15:39.460
bumble around as an avatar typing cookie.

00:15:39.460 –> 00:15:41.120
Type cookie, you idiot.

00:15:41.120 –> 00:15:43.120
[laughter]

00:15:43.120 –> 00:15:45.120
Oh boy.

00:15:45.120 –> 00:15:47.120
Okay, so you and I both use rectangle.

00:15:47.120 –> 00:15:51.120
And I believe that you have paid for it by now? Or not?

00:15:51.120 –> 00:15:53.120
I have to check. I meant to.

00:15:53.120 –> 00:15:55.120
It’s a separate download.

00:15:55.120 –> 00:15:57.120
I know, I know. Let me just check.

00:15:57.120 –> 00:15:59.120
About… I was gonna say, if you haven’t downloaded something separate…

00:15:59.120 –> 00:16:01.120
I have not yet purchased the Pro.

00:16:01.120 –> 00:16:03.120
Nope, I’m still running just plain old rectangle.

00:16:03.120 –> 00:16:07.120
I did at one point get as far as going to the website, and then…

00:16:07.120 –> 00:16:09.120
I got distracted somehow.

00:16:09.120 –> 00:16:12.760
somehow. I’m also drinking a Gatorade Zero which I’m not going to put in the

00:16:12.760 –> 00:16:18.760
show notes or in the brews sections. Not technically a brew so… It’s a chemical

00:16:18.760 –> 00:16:22.620
disguised as a sports drink. Okay well what I wanted to talk about with

00:16:22.620 –> 00:16:25.960
rectangle is it definitely solves some problems that I feel like Apple should

00:16:25.960 –> 00:16:32.840
have solved themselves. Okay. Basic window management that you know Apple should

00:16:32.840 –> 00:16:37.400
have thought of. Stage manager is not the answer and I know that some people like

00:16:37.400 –> 00:16:45.340
it, happy for you. So very, very happy for you. Not sharing that opinion. And I have

00:16:45.340 –> 00:16:49.600
reasons why, but we’re not here to talk about Stage Manager. If anyone feeds back at us

00:16:49.600 –> 00:16:56.760
and says, “Oh my God, Stage Manager, amazing, lolz. I have reasons why no person with an

00:16:56.760 –> 00:17:02.680
orderly mind would use Stage Manager.“ But, see how I’m not talking about Stage Manager?

00:17:02.680 –> 00:17:05.520
Let’s talk about rectangle. So what’s your use case? What are the shortcuts that you

00:17:05.520 –> 00:17:10.440
the most? What do you find the most useful about it that Mac OS doesn’t have

00:17:10.440 –> 00:17:11.640
built in natively?

00:17:11.640 –> 00:17:15.440
Admittedly, I don’t spend as much time moving back and forth

00:17:15.440 –> 00:17:23.560
between a Windows computer keyboard and a Mac keyboard anymore. That said, I don’t

00:17:23.560 –> 00:17:30.240
like when I become overly reliant on keyboard shortcuts that I can’t port

00:17:30.240 –> 00:17:39.040
back and forth. Now my brain and thumbs have been trained so that I can use control whatever when

00:17:39.040 –> 00:17:43.440
I’m sitting on a Windows keyboard and command whatever when I’m sitting at a Mac. That much I

00:17:43.440 –> 00:17:50.480
can do easily. I still sometimes strip on that. But remembering like control option shift caret,

00:17:50.480 –> 00:17:57.760
you know, whatever. Those are like, I’m never going to. So what I do is I have largely a default

00:17:57.760 –> 00:18:03.600
rectangular rectangular rectangle configuration and I use it with the hot zones I guess they’re

00:18:03.600 –> 00:18:08.160
called when you move like the the window so if I want to take the current window I’m in

00:18:08.160 –> 00:18:13.360
where it leaps to a certain position yeah so like I’ll take this facetime window I’m looking at you

00:18:13.360 –> 00:18:19.760
in right now and drag it to the top of my screen and it doesn’t almost maximize right a zoom to

00:18:19.760 –> 00:18:25.600
like full screen yeah yeah yeah and then I’ll take it and bring it to the right edge the right or

00:18:25.600 –> 00:18:32.000
rightmost edge and let it go there. Now you take up the right half of my screen. And if I take it

00:18:32.000 –> 00:18:38.720
down to the bottom center of my window and let it go there, it takes up the middle third of the

00:18:38.720 –> 00:18:43.840
screen. So those are the features that I’m using mostly. I haven’t, I guess you can do like custom

00:18:43.840 –> 00:18:49.120
layouts where you can put like this window in this special area and stuff, which I just haven’t gotten

00:18:49.120 –> 00:18:56.160
around to yet. I do that in Windows when I use PowerToys. They have, I think it’s called

00:18:56.160 –> 00:19:02.720
Zones, desktop zones, and I like that because like when I’m gaming for instance, I have a zone like

00:19:02.720 –> 00:19:08.880
the gaming window will be here, my Discord window will be here, and a preview window with the rule

00:19:08.880 –> 00:19:13.200
book will be here and just like snaps them all right in the perfect place and I like that.

00:19:13.200 –> 00:19:13.440
Yeah.

00:19:13.440 –> 00:19:16.240
Haven’t gotten around to that with rectangle yet.

00:19:16.240 –> 00:19:20.000
So I do have some, I do have a couple layouts saved.

00:19:20.000 –> 00:19:23.360
The one thing is it requires me to have the programs already open,

00:19:23.360 –> 00:19:27.920
but if I have those programs open and I hit that key shortcut, they will go to their places.

00:19:27.920 –> 00:19:32.640
Now, the one thing about macOS that it is fairly good at is

00:19:32.640 –> 00:19:36.960
those apps already remember their places, so I don’t actually have to trigger that shortcut.

00:19:36.960 –> 00:19:43.440
Right. Yep. So overall, I like it. I definitely will, you know, it’s worth the $9.

00:19:44.320 –> 00:19:49.280
Like I had mentioned this either on a previous episode of this episode of this show or was it Blurring the Lines?

00:19:49.280 –> 00:19:53.520
I don’t remember but I had mentioned that I purchased Moom from Many Tricks

00:19:53.520 –> 00:19:57.120
Which I had heard about from John Chidgey over at the Engineered Network

00:19:57.120 –> 00:20:03.840
Right, and then I purchased it which I had heard about from Peter Nikolaidis at the Blurring with Lines and Friends with Brews podcast

00:20:03.840 –> 00:20:09.520
But Rectangle seemed to work better for me and it was easier for me to get started and more intuitive

00:20:09.680 –> 00:20:14.960
So yeah, it’s stuck in my brain. Yeah, it’s absolutely worth, you know, the $9 or whatever to buy the pro

00:20:14.960 –> 00:20:19.220
I should I’m just gonna do that on the podcast today, you know, that’s what I’m gonna do

00:20:19.220 –> 00:20:23.040
I think gentlemen Peter Nikolaidis is going to recite his credit card number into the microphone

00:20:23.040 –> 00:20:30.060
Wouldn’t go that far but what I will say I do have one complaint about it. Somebody’s having a case of the Mondays

00:20:30.060 –> 00:20:36.020
Where and it’s only Tuesday. I mean, it’s only Sunday. I mean, whatever Wow, don’t rush my days off away

00:20:37.580 –> 00:20:43.680
What I will say is one problem I have is with so I use virtual desktops and

00:20:43.680 –> 00:20:47.420
it will and I also use my

00:20:47.420 –> 00:20:54.740
iPad as a secondary display. Oh, oh, I’ve never tried that. Is that continuity? What is that called?

00:20:54.740 –> 00:20:58.100
I think I don’t remember if that’s continuity. It’s not universal control

00:20:58.100 –> 00:21:02.740
Universally control is when you’re controlling it but not using it as an extended display

00:21:02.740 –> 00:21:06.700
So I just use that as an extended to so it’s not universe but is it universal desktop?

00:21:06.700 –> 00:21:13.380
I don’t even remember doesn’t matter. So it’s literally just functioning as a display at just a display, correct?

00:21:13.380 –> 00:21:19.780
You can do either way. You’re not sliding over to it using iPad apps. It’s displaying whatever’s on your Mac, correct?

00:21:19.780 –> 00:21:26.140
It’s strictly just a display. That’s all you’re using it for. I think that’s continuity display. That might be however

00:21:26.140 –> 00:21:29.640
There’s a problem with that is if I have virtual desktops

00:21:29.640 –> 00:21:33.980
Let’s just imagine I’m on my main desktop on my Mac. That’s in the center

00:21:33.980 –> 00:21:37.680
I have a virtual desktop to the right,

00:21:37.680 –> 00:21:41.300
and I have my iPad to the left, okay?

00:21:41.300 –> 00:21:43.620
So from left to right, I have iPad,

00:21:43.620 –> 00:21:45.980
main display, virtual display.

00:21:45.980 –> 00:21:50.980
If I drag a window to the far right window, boom,

00:21:50.980 –> 00:21:55.660
rectangle snaps it to take up the right half of the screen.

00:21:55.660 –> 00:21:56.980
No, I take that back.

00:21:56.980 –> 00:21:57.820
I take that back.

00:21:57.820 –> 00:22:02.520
If I drag it to the far left where the iPad is,

00:22:02.520 –> 00:22:08.440
Rectangle will snap it to the left half of the screen if I drag it to the right side car it it

00:22:08.440 –> 00:22:12.920
Drags to the virtual display off to the right

00:22:12.920 –> 00:22:18.880
I move the application from the main display to the side to the secondary just virtual display

00:22:18.880 –> 00:22:20.880
Yeah, and I can’t drag it back

00:22:20.880 –> 00:22:24.000
I have to invoke the the desktop

00:22:24.000 –> 00:22:28.220
You know virtual desktops thing at the top with like three fingers swipe up on my trackpad

00:22:28.220 –> 00:22:31.120
And then I have to drag it back to desktop one

00:22:31.760 –> 00:22:38.560
Haven’t gotten around to figure out if that’s a configuration problem if that’s a bug or whatnot. That’s my one complaint about

00:22:38.560 –> 00:22:43.000
Rectangle other than that. It’s it’s really cool and easily worth a few bucks

00:22:43.000 –> 00:22:48.360
speaking of trackpad since he brought it up, I will say so I have a

00:22:48.360 –> 00:22:54.760
What are you I have a Logitech M7 something Pro. I don’t know. It’s a decent mouse

00:22:54.760 –> 00:22:58.040
Mm-hmm, and I like the mouse for the most part

00:22:58.160 –> 00:23:04.280
But I also have a trackpad a magic trackpad sitting here on my left hand side of my keyboard and it’s only there for

00:23:04.280 –> 00:23:08.040
for those type of gestures that you’re talking about okay, and

00:23:08.040 –> 00:23:12.960
Because they’re kind of magic if you remember them, they’re amazing

00:23:12.960 –> 00:23:16.800
Yeah, a lot of people don’t like spaces where you maximize

00:23:16.800 –> 00:23:23.640
You know you maximize a window really maximize not just maximize so that you can still see the menu bar and the and the dock

00:23:23.760 –> 00:23:28.680
But it takes over the entire screen and it goes to its own separate place and you have to go sideways to get there

00:23:28.680 –> 00:23:30.300
That’s spaces, right?

00:23:30.300 –> 00:23:33.080
The nice thing about spaces is if you use three fingers

00:23:33.080 –> 00:23:39.660
You can swipe side to side between your apps and it is so much faster than command tabbing and finding the app in the command tab

00:23:39.660 –> 00:23:42.660
List absolutely. Yeah, it’s left swipe right swipe. It’s great

00:23:42.660 –> 00:23:43.220
Yes

00:23:43.220 –> 00:23:48.060
And I get that people I get that the downside of it is if you have a bunch of them in

00:23:48.620 –> 00:23:53.140
spaces, if you have a bunch of spaces, each with their own app, you may be swiping for

00:23:53.140 –> 00:23:54.780
a while before you find the one you want.

00:23:54.780 –> 00:23:57.620
I do agree that that could be better.

00:23:57.620 –> 00:24:04.060
But if I just have a couple things, like VS Code is in there, Mail is in there, then I’ve

00:24:04.060 –> 00:24:08.260
got like two, then I’ve only got to swipe four times max or three times max for that

00:24:08.260 –> 00:24:10.180
scenario and it’s great.

00:24:10.180 –> 00:24:11.180
It’s just super great.

00:24:11.180 –> 00:24:15.720
And because I have the MacBook Pro now, when I’m using it as a laptop, it’s ready.

00:24:15.720 –> 00:24:18.580
When I’m at my desk I’ve got the trackpad here, it’s ready.

00:24:18.580 –> 00:24:25.180
I agree with you that for me Rectangle Pro makes the Mac, makes my Mac use and my Windows

00:24:25.180 –> 00:24:28.720
use very functionally equivalent.

00:24:28.720 –> 00:24:31.560
The keystrokes are different, but that’s fine, they’re very simple.

00:24:31.560 –> 00:24:34.600
And I keep forgetting about the zones that you’re talking about where you pull the window

00:24:34.600 –> 00:24:36.760
and then it snaps, it does its thing.

00:24:36.760 –> 00:24:40.600
I use the keyboard shortcuts for the stuff that I do the most often.

00:24:40.600 –> 00:24:45.100
And the things that I do the most often are maximize this window, make this window take

00:24:45.100 –> 00:24:49.020
up the top quarter of the screen, make this window take up the left half of the screen,

00:24:49.020 –> 00:24:52.460
make this window take up the right half of the screen. Those are the things I do the

00:24:52.460 –> 00:24:59.140
most. And that very much mirrors my Windows use where I want this window to hop over to

00:24:59.140 –> 00:25:03.620
this monitor. I want this window on this monitor. I want this window to take up the full screen.

00:25:03.620 –> 00:25:08.900
I want this window to not take up the full screen. So very, very similar. And those things

00:25:08.900 –> 00:25:14.980
are built into Windows. If I wanted to do what you do and have my layouts and my zones,

00:25:14.980 –> 00:25:17.040
that would require the Pro Tools.

00:25:17.040 –> 00:25:17.880
What are they called?

00:25:17.880 –> 00:25:18.700
The Pro, what are they called?

00:25:18.700 –> 00:25:19.540
The tools?

00:25:19.540 –> 00:25:20.660
Microsoft Powertoys.

00:25:20.660 –> 00:25:21.500
Powertoys.

00:25:21.500 –> 00:25:22.340
Powertoys.

00:25:22.340 –> 00:25:24.420
Yeah, and I actually installed Powertoys at one point

00:25:24.420 –> 00:25:27.460
because I didn’t know some of the built-in

00:25:27.460 –> 00:25:29.860
windowing shortcuts in Windows.

00:25:29.860 –> 00:25:33.580
And then I was showing Mark, a guy I work with,

00:25:33.580 –> 00:25:38.300
and he’s like, “Oh, but what about the Windows shift

00:25:38.300 –> 00:25:40.660
arrow key or the Windows arrow key or the Windows shift

00:25:40.660 –> 00:25:42.160
arrow if you want to go a different monitor?“

00:25:42.160 –> 00:25:43.360
I tried it and I’m like,

00:25:43.360 –> 00:25:45.360
Okay, I’m uninstalling power toys.

00:25:45.360 –> 00:25:49.120
So I just installed

00:25:49.120 –> 00:25:53.360
Rectangle Pro while you were talking and I

00:25:53.360 –> 00:25:57.940
disabled old rectangle on pro rectangle amateur

00:25:57.940 –> 00:26:02.720
Yeah, I am now looking at looks like I had pretty much the default configuration

00:26:02.720 –> 00:26:09.360
So that’s good because I don’t need to relearn any shortcuts or anything like that. So that’s pretty good. So yeah, that’s pretty cool

00:26:09.360 –> 00:26:12.140
Here’s a here’s a power tip about rectangle. That is nice

00:26:12.220 –> 00:26:15.620
So if you if you look at the menu bar thing and you click on it

00:26:15.620 –> 00:26:23.040
You’re looking at all those different options. You’ll notice that next display and previous display are there but they don’t have keyboard shortcuts

00:26:23.040 –> 00:26:27.640
Now I’m sure that you can assign keyboard shortcuts, but here’s another trick

00:26:27.640 –> 00:26:32.820
let’s say you’re like me and you’ve got an Apple Studio display and then your laptop displays off to the left and

00:26:32.820 –> 00:26:36.640
Messages let’s say opens up on your studio display

00:26:36.640 –> 00:26:40.300
But you really want it off on the MacBook Pro display because you’re not gonna look at it that often

00:26:40.300 –> 00:26:46.380
and you want it visible but out of your way. You don’t have to use that. What you

00:26:46.380 –> 00:26:50.620
can do is say, “Hey, I want this to use the left half,” and you just keep hitting the

00:26:50.620 –> 00:26:54.380
left half keyboard shortcut until it moves its way over to the left half on

00:26:54.380 –> 00:26:58.860
the second monitor. It’ll go to the second monitor. It won’t just keep trying

00:26:58.860 –> 00:27:02.060
to do it on the first monitor. On the second attempt it’ll go, “Hey, he must

00:27:02.060 –> 00:27:05.260
want this on the second monitor.“ And it’s kind of weird because it’ll go from the

00:27:05.260 –> 00:27:08.920
left half on the first monitor to the right half on the second monitor, then to

00:27:08.920 –> 00:27:13.160
right half, then to the left half on the second monitor. But it works really nice. So it’s like

00:27:13.160 –> 00:27:19.240
basically hitting it twice instead of once or whatever. Okay, fair enough. Let’s talk a little

00:27:19.240 –> 00:27:25.720
more about a couple more things on similar veins to what we’re talking about. Okay. In addition to

00:27:25.720 –> 00:27:33.800
Moom, which I did not buy, about three years ago, I did buy Witch, W-I-T-C-H, also from ManyTricks,

00:27:33.800 –> 00:27:41.400
the same author. And it’s essentially a better task manager, like an alt or a command tab replacement.

00:27:41.400 –> 00:27:43.240
Oh okay, let’s hear about that.

00:27:43.240 –> 00:27:50.120
Well, I contacted the developer and I was complaining because recently I’ve not been

00:27:50.120 –> 00:27:58.200
able to use Witch because it just times out. Like I’ll hit command tab, it takes a beat or 10 for it

00:27:58.200 –> 00:28:04.760
to show up and then I see all of the apps and then it just scrolls through all of them and

00:28:04.760 –> 00:28:10.920
slams up against the last one in the task list and then I let go of I can’t move like I can’t command

00:28:10.920 –> 00:28:17.800
shift or move back around so essentially anytime I hit command tab it will always go to the last

00:28:17.800 –> 00:28:23.560
program running and so he asked me like what programs are you running and do you have a lot

00:28:23.560 –> 00:28:27.240
of windows open so I took a screenshot of everything and I was like yep well here’s a

00:28:27.240 –> 00:28:32.760
simple list of, you know, like all this stuff. And the response was to the tune of, yeah, you’re using

00:28:32.760 –> 00:28:38.520
a lot of apps that use a lot of resources. So we can’t really handle that. I’ll fix that in version

00:28:38.520 –> 00:28:46.280
five, but that’s down the road. But he did get this three years later, he offered to refund my purchase.

00:28:46.280 –> 00:28:48.360
After three years of trying to solve your problem?

00:28:48.360 –> 00:28:51.320
Well, I only reported it this week.

00:28:51.320 –> 00:28:54.760
And after three years of trying to learn Swift UI? Oh, okay. Nevermind. Sorry.

00:28:55.720 –> 00:28:56.720
So…

00:28:56.720 –> 00:29:04.120
Rob, if you’re listening, Scott’s the one being a jerk to you, not me.

00:29:04.120 –> 00:29:05.160
I’m not being a jerk to you.

00:29:05.160 –> 00:29:06.800
I’m just asking questions.

00:29:06.800 –> 00:29:09.000
I did not take him up on the offer.

00:29:09.000 –> 00:29:11.440
I wrote him back and I said, “No, I’ve gotten value for your program.”

00:29:11.440 –> 00:29:12.680
It was like nine bucks again or something.

00:29:12.680 –> 00:29:14.200
I was like, “No, I got value from it.”

00:29:14.200 –> 00:29:15.200
Oh, for sure.

00:29:15.200 –> 00:29:18.240
And not only that, you bothered him for at least $9 worth of support.

00:29:18.240 –> 00:29:19.240
Absolutely.

00:29:19.240 –> 00:29:20.240
You know?

00:29:20.240 –> 00:29:27.280
said there’s another program that I used also called share mouse. Never share your mouse with

00:29:27.280 –> 00:29:33.760
another person. Never share your mouse, but I do share it with another computer. Now I had for a

00:29:33.760 –> 00:29:40.800
long time would have multiple desktops or laptops on my desktop, my physical desktop. And I was using

00:29:40.800 –> 00:29:46.800
a program called synergy back in the day. This is like more than 10 years ago. And then synergy was,

00:29:46.800 –> 00:29:51.200
it was an open source product, it was free, blah, blah, blah. It was great. And then the author

00:29:51.200 –> 00:29:55.280
wanted to, you know, like take a commercial and I guess there’s still a free version,

00:29:55.280 –> 00:30:01.120
but there’s a commercial version. I just didn’t like the direction in which he was taking it. And

00:30:01.120 –> 00:30:06.720
the communications coming out of him were just like, eh, I don’t like that. So I ended up moving

00:30:06.720 –> 00:30:14.000
to, um, share mouse, which unlike synergy, I think synergy was Mac Linux and windows. And I believe

00:30:14.000 –> 00:30:16.460
I believe ShareMouse is just Mac and Windows,

00:30:16.460 –> 00:30:19.060
but I don’t have a Linux desktop anymore, so it was fine.

00:30:19.060 –> 00:30:20.440
And I was able to pay for support,

00:30:20.440 –> 00:30:22.700
and it generally worked pretty well.

00:30:22.700 –> 00:30:25.540
But I’ve recently found out that Barrier

00:30:25.540 –> 00:30:30.300
is apparently a Synergy fork, and it is free open source.

00:30:30.300 –> 00:30:34.500
So my ShareMouse paid subscription is about to end up,

00:30:34.500 –> 00:30:37.180
it’s about to expire sometime, I think,

00:30:37.180 –> 00:30:38.820
around Christmas or something.

00:30:38.820 –> 00:30:42.620
And I’m planning on pivoting over to Barrier at that time.

00:30:42.620 –> 00:30:46.260
I’ll be testing it between a Windows PC and a Mac.

00:30:46.260 –> 00:30:48.900
So barrier instead of share mouse.

00:30:48.900 –> 00:30:49.900
Okay.

00:30:49.900 –> 00:30:50.900
Instead of Synergy.

00:30:50.900 –> 00:30:51.900
So yes.

00:30:51.900 –> 00:30:53.900
Is share mouse one word or two?

00:30:53.900 –> 00:30:54.900
Yep, one word.

00:30:54.900 –> 00:30:56.980
And I believe with like the studly caps, I believe it’s a capital M.

00:30:56.980 –> 00:30:58.820
Oh no, they’ve got a space in there.

00:30:58.820 –> 00:30:59.980
No, they don’t.

00:30:59.980 –> 00:31:05.020
Oh, the title on the website looks like, not the title, but the logo on the website looks

00:31:05.020 –> 00:31:07.580
like it, but in their copy text they say one word.

00:31:07.580 –> 00:31:08.580
Yeah.

00:31:08.580 –> 00:31:11.460
Definitely, capital S, capital M. Definitely share mouse.

00:31:11.460 –> 00:31:17.620
So overall it works pretty well, but for random, for reasons I don’t know of, like it’ll randomly

00:31:17.620 –> 00:31:21.820
lose the connection on both systems and I just have to restart it on both and then it

00:31:21.820 –> 00:31:22.960
just works again.

00:31:22.960 –> 00:31:24.100
So what’s the one you’re going to?

00:31:24.100 –> 00:31:25.100
Sorry.

00:31:25.100 –> 00:31:26.100
I’m going to try Barrier.

00:31:26.100 –> 00:31:27.100
The Barrier Reef?

00:31:27.100 –> 00:31:28.600
Uh, no Reef, just Barrier.

00:31:28.600 –> 00:31:30.420
And this is Mac utility only?

00:31:30.420 –> 00:31:32.100
Nope, this is cross-platform.

00:31:32.100 –> 00:31:33.940
I believe it’s Mac Windows Linux.

00:31:33.940 –> 00:31:37.860
Oh, this is probably this GitHub thing.

00:31:37.860 –> 00:31:39.860
Debauchy Barrier.

00:31:39.860 –> 00:31:42.220
Debauchery.

00:31:42.220 –> 00:31:43.420
So all of these are like,

00:31:43.420 –> 00:31:47.300
Sharemouse was like $69 for three years,

00:31:47.300 –> 00:31:48.380
I want to say or something.

00:31:48.380 –> 00:31:50.420
But the other things, you know, Rectangle,

00:31:50.420 –> 00:31:53.180
Moom, Witch, Barrier, they’re all like, or even Barrier,

00:31:53.180 –> 00:31:55.220
I don’t think Barrier has a commercial offering.

00:31:55.220 –> 00:31:56.360
You know, we’re talking like 10 bucks.

00:31:56.360 –> 00:31:57.380
What do you mean for three?

00:31:57.380 –> 00:32:00.780
Sharemouse did like three year subscription.

00:32:00.780 –> 00:32:04.620
Oh, that’s a weird, that’s a weird deal, dude.

00:32:04.620 –> 00:32:05.780
Yeah, it’s a business thing though.

00:32:05.780 –> 00:32:07.620
I mean, they give me a discount.

00:32:07.620 –> 00:32:10.380
I understand the whole subscription thing,

00:32:10.380 –> 00:32:13.420
but what I mean is to do a three year,

00:32:13.420 –> 00:32:15.120
okay, I get it, I get what they’re doing.

00:32:15.120 –> 00:32:17.420
It’s just an unusual proposition.

00:32:17.420 –> 00:32:20.120
Usually they give you a year and if you pay for the year,

00:32:20.120 –> 00:32:22.680
you get a slight discount or maybe not,

00:32:22.680 –> 00:32:25.000
but you pay for a year at a time or you can pay monthly,

00:32:25.000 –> 00:32:26.420
but three year, that’s bold.

00:32:26.420 –> 00:32:30.000
You can do, I’m pretty sure you could do a year at a time.

00:32:30.000 –> 00:32:32.060
I think I bought three because I was like, you know,

00:32:32.060 –> 00:32:33.200
I’ll just get a discount.

00:32:33.200 –> 00:32:34.320
Oh, okay, gotcha.

00:32:34.320 –> 00:32:38.340
So anyway, and ShareMouse does have a free version.

00:32:38.340 –> 00:32:40.080
But yeah, right now, ShareMouse Pro,

00:32:40.080 –> 00:32:42.580
one year of maintenance is 120 bucks.

00:32:42.580 –> 00:32:43.660
Uh-huh.

00:32:43.660 –> 00:32:45.340
I’m not gonna pay that.

00:32:45.340 –> 00:32:46.420
I wouldn’t think not.

00:32:46.420 –> 00:32:50.420
Unless I have such a bad experience with Barrier.

00:32:50.420 –> 00:32:51.780
Yeah, it looks, yeah.

00:32:51.780 –> 00:32:55.700
If I renew it, however, let me find out here.

00:32:55.700 –> 00:32:57.120
I’m curious what they’re looking to buy.

00:32:57.120 –> 00:32:59.620
Register license.

00:32:59.620 –> 00:33:02.540
Copy your license key.

00:33:02.540 –> 00:33:04.780
Yes, Peter, copy your license key.

00:33:04.780 –> 00:33:06.260
Is this 21?

00:33:06.260 –> 00:33:07.380
Or is this 22?

00:33:07.380 –> 00:33:08.780
’Cause I have one that we’re editing

00:33:08.780 –> 00:33:10.460
that I haven’t published yet.

00:33:10.460 –> 00:33:12.620
I thought this was 21.

00:33:12.620 –> 00:33:13.540
Yes, you’re right.

00:33:13.540 –> 00:33:15.180
20 is the one I’m editing.

00:33:15.180 –> 00:33:16.200
Jeez.

00:33:16.200 –> 00:33:17.820
Yeah, I just, I lose track.

00:33:17.820 –> 00:33:18.700
Tell you, it’s been a week.

00:33:18.700 –> 00:33:20.660
Like I said, I worked an extra 12.

00:33:20.660 –> 00:33:21.500
I tell ya, man.

00:33:21.500 –> 00:33:22.500
That I didn’t expect to.

00:33:22.500 –> 00:33:25.860
And I still did my workouts.

00:33:25.860 –> 00:33:27.140
I pulled an all-nighter,

00:33:27.140 –> 00:33:28.560
then I worked eight more hours that day,

00:33:28.560 –> 00:33:30.620
then I still did two hours of workouts that night.

00:33:30.620 –> 00:33:31.460
Come on.

00:33:31.460 –> 00:33:32.280
Wow.

00:33:32.280 –> 00:33:39.780
Wow. I don’t make excuses and say I’m not going to work out. Now, yesterday was a day off, but that’s because I was way overdue for a day off.

00:33:39.780 –> 00:33:46.280
Of fitness, not of work. I did work yesterday. For a lot longer than I expected to, by the way.

00:33:46.280 –> 00:33:57.280
Alright. Well, hey. I’ve been taking it easy and blatantly not doing nearly as much exercise because I’ve messed up my knee again and I want the damn thing to get better.

00:33:57.280 –> 00:34:02.280
Right. I scared myself. A couple days ago, all of a sudden I had a pain right under my knee.

00:34:02.280 –> 00:34:06.280
And it felt weird. And now it’s completely gone.

00:34:06.280 –> 00:34:13.280
I could still run, but when I was walking around I would feel it. It scared me. I thought, “Oh no, I haven’t had knee problems in forever.”

00:34:13.280 –> 00:34:16.280
But then it went away. And I think, you know what I think it was from, literally?

00:34:16.280 –> 00:34:22.280
I was doing a treadmill run, and I was tired, and I was bored, and I was running at a decent pace,

00:34:22.280 –> 00:34:25.560
and I just started going side to side like a loose skater or something.

00:34:25.560 –> 00:34:28.760
I was just kind of running side to side on the treadmill. Just don’t know why.

00:34:28.760 –> 00:34:32.200
I was listening to some music to get me motivated and I was kind of getting into it.

00:34:32.200 –> 00:34:36.680
So I was darting side to side. And I think that lateral action on my knee is probably what did it.

00:34:36.680 –> 00:34:39.720
It started like a day and a half after that and then now it’s gone.

00:34:39.720 –> 00:34:44.280
So you know something I don’t really care for that much?

00:34:44.280 –> 00:34:45.480
Treadmills?

00:34:45.480 –> 00:34:46.760
GitHub.

00:34:46.760 –> 00:34:47.960
Oh.

00:34:47.960 –> 00:34:51.000
Like when I land on a GitHub project page.

00:34:51.560 –> 00:34:52.060
Yep.

00:34:52.060 –> 00:34:57.460
I have no freaking clue how to download the program.

00:34:57.460 –> 00:35:00.300
Okay, I used to be that way, but what they assume is–

00:35:00.300 –> 00:35:00.960
Help me.

00:35:00.960 –> 00:35:02.800
Let’s click on the Barrier Link, for example.

00:35:02.800 –> 00:35:05.000
That’s exactly where I went. Where do I go?

00:35:05.000 –> 00:35:06.960
You’re on a desktop browser, right?

00:35:06.960 –> 00:35:07.460
Yep.

00:35:07.460 –> 00:35:10.600
So here’s why they make this more confusing.

00:35:10.600 –> 00:35:14.260
And I didn’t figure this out until I learned how to use Git.

00:35:14.260 –> 00:35:15.060
Got it.

00:35:15.060 –> 00:35:17.060
Once I start using Git, that problem goes away,

00:35:17.060 –> 00:35:18.400
because you’re just gonna clone the thing,

00:35:18.400 –> 00:35:23.240
and you’re gonna do it from a command line probably, or a Git client.

00:35:23.240 –> 00:35:27.800
Right, but if you are producing software…

00:35:27.800 –> 00:35:34.480
I guess, okay, if the intention is to make sure that end users never see your code on

00:35:34.480 –> 00:35:37.320
your program, then Git is awesome.

00:35:37.320 –> 00:35:38.560
But if you just want to download…

00:35:38.560 –> 00:35:39.560
Never see your code.

00:35:39.560 –> 00:35:43.480
Yeah, I want to download an executable and install it on two of my machines.

00:35:43.480 –> 00:35:46.240
Oh, Git Hub’s horrible for that.

00:35:46.240 –> 00:35:47.240
That’s what I’m talking about.

00:35:47.240 –> 00:35:51.680
Like right now, today, I don’t want-look, I can’t compile anything on my Windows machine.

00:35:51.680 –> 00:35:52.680
I don’t have a compiler.

00:35:52.680 –> 00:35:54.760
I don’t want the code for this project.

00:35:54.760 –> 00:35:57.240
I just want to install it on my Windows machine.

00:35:57.240 –> 00:36:00.640
So for me as an end user right now, I’m like, “WTF, mate?”

00:36:00.640 –> 00:36:03.680
Okay, now just because you’re downloading it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to

00:36:03.680 –> 00:36:04.840
have to compile it.

00:36:04.840 –> 00:36:07.560
You can make a release with a binary executable in it.

00:36:07.560 –> 00:36:08.560
Right.

00:36:08.560 –> 00:36:10.800
And if I could find that easily, I’d be a much happier user.

00:36:10.800 –> 00:36:12.960
Okay, well that depends on the project.

00:36:12.960 –> 00:36:13.960
Exactly.

00:36:13.960 –> 00:36:18.160
In terms of just downloading the Git repo, you click the code button and then you have options.

00:36:18.160 –> 00:36:21.660
Do you want to clone this? Do you want to open it with GitHub desktop, which no one ever does?

00:36:21.660 –> 00:36:23.660
Or do you want to download a zip file?

00:36:23.660 –> 00:36:28.160
As far as whether or not there’s a binary available, that’s if they create a package.

00:36:28.160 –> 00:36:29.160
Exactly.

00:36:29.160 –> 00:36:34.360
Right. And this one says no package is published. So that means that you download this source.

00:36:34.360 –> 00:36:36.160
There is a dist folder here.

00:36:36.160 –> 00:36:39.660
And if I look in the dist folder, I see a Mac OS bundle.

00:36:39.660 –> 00:36:43.160
When I scroll down, I see a clean build.bat.

00:36:43.160 –> 00:36:46.800
Under bundle there’s a barrier dot app. What the heck is Wix?

00:36:46.800 –> 00:36:51.360
I don’t know, but I don’t care. But here’s where it is right here. If you go to this bundle

00:36:51.360 –> 00:36:55.820
But I do care because I also want to run this on Windows and I see a batch file

00:36:55.820 –> 00:36:57.940
I would assume it’s that Wix thing.

00:36:57.940 –> 00:37:03.280
I don’t know what the heck those things are. Barrier dot SLN. Yeah.

00:37:03.280 –> 00:37:06.980
I don’t know but that sounds like a gap in our knowledge not a gap in his process

00:37:09.300 –> 00:37:12.660
Sure, okay. Give the guy the, you know, the benefit of the doubt.

00:37:12.660 –> 00:37:17.540
This is my normal experience. When I go to a GitHub project, I feel like an idiot.

00:37:17.540 –> 00:37:19.140
Yeah, no, I get it.

00:37:19.140 –> 00:37:25.460
There’s a clean build.bat file, and it says it uses CMake.

00:37:25.460 –> 00:37:27.620
Wix is a window installer XML.

00:37:27.620 –> 00:37:29.700
Windows installer XML. Okay.

00:37:29.700 –> 00:37:34.500
Wix was the first Microsoft project to be released under an open source license.

00:37:34.500 –> 00:37:36.100
Interesting.

00:37:36.100 –> 00:37:42.660
So it sounds really old and I don’t know what you do once you download that onto your device.

00:37:42.660 –> 00:37:47.860
The Mac OS one has an app already built so you don’t have to do anything.

00:37:47.860 –> 00:37:52.900
Somebody wrote an article that said that it’s incredibly easy to install with pre-compiled

00:37:52.900 –> 00:37:54.900
binaries for Windows. Okay.

00:37:54.900 –> 00:37:59.940
And I’m like, okay, where are they? So I’m just going to put it this way. It

00:37:59.940 –> 00:38:04.660
looks to me like the Mac OS one is super easy to do. The Windows one, there’s something you

00:38:04.660 –> 00:38:09.460
have to understand and I haven’t looked to see what the Linux options are under dist. RPM.

00:38:09.460 –> 00:38:20.500
So on a page, okay so I did find a page it’s DeBarrier, oh it’s the wiki page. So you go to

00:38:20.500 –> 00:38:30.100
github.com/debocibarrierwiki and there I see packaging status. So I see a bunch of things

00:38:30.100 –> 00:38:40.420
there but here’s the funny thing I see win get I don’t see win doze and I don’t see Mac I see tons

00:38:40.420 –> 00:38:46.660
of Linux that wiki link is available it shows on everything it’s kind of up to the developer to do

00:38:46.660 –> 00:38:53.940
something with it yeah exactly so again this is like I said this is just you know he doesn’t seem

00:38:53.940 –> 00:38:59.780
to be going out of his way to make it easy for a Mac or Windows person to install this without

00:38:59.780 –> 00:39:05.140
downloading the code, etc, etc. Oh my god, you have to install… that’s because this project

00:39:05.140 –> 00:39:09.620
requires a bunch of stuff that I don’t want on my computer. You have to install Qt for Windows.

00:39:09.620 –> 00:39:15.940
I don’t want that. I hell as much don’t want that on my Mac. I would never do this.

00:39:15.940 –> 00:39:22.340
Dependency hell. Right. Now the nice thing about with Mac is you can install those dependencies

00:39:22.340 –> 00:39:28.180
with Homebrew. Right. If you want them in the first place. If you want them. I don’t want them.

00:39:28.180 –> 00:39:33.980
I don’t know why I have such a barrier against QT, but it just seems like one of those things that all the apps that want it make me mad.

00:39:33.980 –> 00:39:40.320
And so, and I don’t want QT. It’s an old, it’s an outmoded, look, I have a GUI already, let me use it!

00:39:40.320 –> 00:39:41.720
Mm-hmm.

00:39:41.720 –> 00:39:42.220
So.

00:39:42.220 –> 00:39:46.220
Ahh, so maybe I’m not gonna, I don’t know, though, 120 bucks.

00:39:46.220 –> 00:39:53.420
Oh, and that, that seems to be my renewal price too, for ShareMouse, is $120 per year.

00:39:53.420 –> 00:39:56.020
That seems high.

00:39:56.020 –> 00:39:57.720
Peter, I just want to say something.

00:39:57.720 –> 00:40:00.720
First of all, keep looking for other options.

00:40:00.720 –> 00:40:02.360
Secondly, I am looking.

00:40:02.360 –> 00:40:04.480
There is a reason this thing is called “barrier.”

00:40:04.480 –> 00:40:10.480
They throw up so many barriers to entry that it makes you furious that you even thought

00:40:10.480 –> 00:40:14.240
of using it, and it makes you furious that they even thought of you using it.

00:40:14.240 –> 00:40:15.480
Uh huh.

00:40:15.480 –> 00:40:17.160
Yeah, this is not.

00:40:17.160 –> 00:40:19.200
I wouldn’t do this one, that’s for sure.

00:40:19.200 –> 00:40:22.680
I might have to though, I don’t know man.

00:40:22.680 –> 00:40:26.400
I don’t know, I guess I have to figure how QT-averse am I.

00:40:26.400 –> 00:40:28.200
Very, it should be the correct answer.

00:40:28.200 –> 00:40:29.520
And here’s the other thing, Peter,

00:40:29.520 –> 00:40:31.840
how often are you actually gonna need this anymore?

00:40:31.840 –> 00:40:34.440
I use it fairly frequently.

00:40:34.440 –> 00:40:38.940
I definitely, so on my main, my main work setup now is

00:40:38.940 –> 00:40:42.240
I have a computer off to my left with a secondary display.

00:40:42.240 –> 00:40:44.180
That’s strictly for the hospital.

00:40:44.180 –> 00:40:46.480
It is air gapped, it’s completely separate.

00:40:46.480 –> 00:40:48.280
It’s not part of this equation.

00:40:48.280 –> 00:40:51.840
The rest of it, I have my MacBook Air primary display,

00:40:51.840 –> 00:40:56.240
and then I have my big widescreen connected to it.

00:40:56.240 –> 00:40:57.820
So I have those two.

00:40:57.820 –> 00:41:01.240
Off to the right, I have another Windows laptop,

00:41:01.240 –> 00:41:04.200
17 inch or 16 inch, 15 inch, I don’t even remember, big.

00:41:04.200 –> 00:41:05.420
How many computers are we up to now?

00:41:05.420 –> 00:41:06.980
Three, is that the third one?

00:41:06.980 –> 00:41:08.720
Three, yes.

00:41:08.720 –> 00:41:11.040
That’s the one I use the sharing with.

00:41:11.040 –> 00:41:15.080
My Logitech MX70 or whatever it is, don’t know.

00:41:15.080 –> 00:41:16.760
It’s got a button here

00:41:16.760 –> 00:41:19.460
and it’s got frequencies one, two, and three.

00:41:19.460 –> 00:41:21.680
Now I haven’t done this,

00:41:21.680 –> 00:41:26.080
but I think that by pairing at a certain frequency,

00:41:26.080 –> 00:41:29.480
which you can do with a specific computer.

00:41:29.480 –> 00:41:31.820
You could pair at the different frequency settings

00:41:31.820 –> 00:41:32.840
on each of your computers,

00:41:32.840 –> 00:41:34.300
and all you have to do is press that button once

00:41:34.300 –> 00:41:36.100
to transfer it to the other computer.

00:41:36.100 –> 00:41:40.680
But what about the keyboard?

00:41:40.680 –> 00:41:42.680
Oh, you didn’t say anything about a keyboard, Peter.

00:41:42.680 –> 00:41:46.280
Yeah, this is KVM sharing, is what we’re doing.

00:41:46.280 –> 00:41:48.020
We’re sharing the keyboard, the video,

00:41:48.020 –> 00:41:49.360
and the mouse switching.

00:41:49.360 –> 00:41:50.560
You just said mouse.

00:41:50.560 –> 00:41:54.360
So I’m looking at another one

00:41:54.360 –> 00:41:57.720
called Mouse Without Borders, but it’s Windows only.

00:41:57.720 –> 00:41:59.200
Mouse Without Borders. Multiplicity.

00:41:59.200 –> 00:42:01.040
It has a normal practice that it practices

00:42:01.040 –> 00:42:03.880
for like 50 years, and then once every 10 years,

00:42:03.880 –> 00:42:05.240
maybe it’ll go for a year to-

00:42:05.240 –> 00:42:06.520
Goes away on sabbatical.

00:42:06.520 –> 00:42:09.120
Right, and does the mouse without borders thing.

00:42:09.120 –> 00:42:10.400
Yep, exactly.

00:42:10.400 –> 00:42:12.040
Yeah, I don’t know.

00:42:12.040 –> 00:42:17.040
So it looks like Barrier, Synergy, and ShareMouse are like,

00:42:17.040 –> 00:42:19.320
that’s all I’m finding right now

00:42:19.320 –> 00:42:21.400
that’s actually cross-platform compatible.

00:42:21.400 –> 00:42:27.400
Synergy Virtual KVM. Yes. We didn’t talk about that one did we? Did you mention? No that was the

00:42:27.400 –> 00:42:32.760
one that I used and then I said the developer started and you know like took it in a direction

00:42:32.760 –> 00:42:39.000
I wasn’t really caring for. What do you mean it became a porn site? No he just like like I was

00:42:39.000 –> 00:42:44.520
getting he wanted to charge for it it wasn’t clear why I would want to do that and then all of a

00:42:44.520 –> 00:42:49.080
sudden I was getting like pictures of like hey look here’s our new office and there was a picture

00:42:49.080 –> 00:42:56.440
of two people sitting at a desk and I’m like, you want me to pay so you can have two people

00:42:56.440 –> 00:42:57.440
sitting at a desk?

00:42:57.440 –> 00:42:59.080
Yeah, he’s got employees, you dummy.

00:42:59.080 –> 00:43:00.080
When to stick with hardware?

00:43:00.080 –> 00:43:04.440
If you need to connect one monitor to multiple computers, you’ll still need a traditional

00:43:04.440 –> 00:43:05.440
KVM.

00:43:05.440 –> 00:43:06.700
Yeah, that’s not what I’m looking for.

00:43:06.700 –> 00:43:10.520
Because I like to share, like, I don’t like my hands on one keyboard and mouse.

00:43:10.520 –> 00:43:12.640
Yes, yeah, and you can turn your head.

00:43:12.640 –> 00:43:14.480
Yep, exactly.

00:43:14.480 –> 00:43:15.480
Anyway.

00:43:15.480 –> 00:43:19.120
Okay, so I’m clicking on Synergies by now.

00:43:19.120 –> 00:43:22.040
I see $29 lifetime download access.

00:43:22.040 –> 00:43:23.920
That’s not that bad.

00:43:23.920 –> 00:43:26.220
29 for lifetime is not that bad.

00:43:26.220 –> 00:43:28.280
However, here’s the other thing too.

00:43:28.280 –> 00:43:29.940
Back when I was complaining about it,

00:43:29.940 –> 00:43:31.180
the reason I was complaining was like,

00:43:31.180 –> 00:43:33.600
there were a number of bugs that I had submitted.

00:43:33.600 –> 00:43:36.040
And instead of like seeing any progress

00:43:36.040 –> 00:43:38.620
on the bug fixing front, I was seeing like,

00:43:38.620 –> 00:43:40.700
we just bought an office kind of thing.

00:43:40.700 –> 00:43:42.840
So, so I was not, yeah.

00:43:42.840 –> 00:43:44.840
So that’s when I switched over to,

00:43:44.840 –> 00:43:45.960
I believe to ShareMouse.

00:43:45.960 –> 00:43:48.840
And that was maybe, I don’t know what the timeline is.

00:43:48.840 –> 00:43:53.280
That might be why ShareMouse or why barrier spun up.

00:43:53.280 –> 00:43:56.320
It might’ve been in, because it is a fork of Synergy.

00:43:56.320 –> 00:43:57.140
Is it?

00:43:57.140 –> 00:43:59.320
So does Synergy have QT in it?

00:43:59.320 –> 00:44:00.160
I don’t know.

00:44:00.160 –> 00:44:01.920
Well, if it does, I doubt it.

00:44:01.920 –> 00:44:02.860
Maybe it does.

00:44:02.860 –> 00:44:04.120
Wouldn’t surprise me.

00:44:04.120 –> 00:44:05.700
Welcome to World Class Productivity.

00:44:05.700 –> 00:44:08.800
Fortune 500 companies and over 2 million customers

00:44:08.800 –> 00:44:10.640
rely on Synergy every day, Peter,

00:44:10.640 –> 00:44:12.300
including Pixar and Apple,

00:44:12.300 –> 00:44:14.360
two companies that you may have heard of.

00:44:14.360 –> 00:44:15.720
Huh.

00:44:15.720 –> 00:44:18.680
There’s a Scott with one T that gave a good review to it.

00:44:18.680 –> 00:44:20.480
I can’t trust him because he’s got,

00:44:20.480 –> 00:44:22.640
he doesn’t have the right number of Ts.

00:44:22.640 –> 00:44:23.920
Skeet.

00:44:23.920 –> 00:44:26.080
Skeeter, mosquito.

00:44:26.080 –> 00:44:27.720
Yeah. Mosquito loves it.

00:44:27.720 –> 00:44:32.160
Yeah. So I’m kinda, yeah, I’m kinda torn here.

00:44:32.160 –> 00:44:33.000
I don’t know.

00:44:33.000 –> 00:44:34.960
Peter, have you heard the good news about hardware KVMs?

00:44:34.960 –> 00:44:38.800
No, what are they?

00:44:38.800 –> 00:44:39.620
Don’t know.

00:44:39.620 –> 00:44:40.520
But, and here’s the other thing,

00:44:40.520 –> 00:44:43.860
I don’t know if there are any KVMs modern enough

00:44:43.860 –> 00:44:46.320
to allow you to use Bluetooth devices with them.

00:44:46.320 –> 00:44:48.740
I’m sure there must be some adapters you can plug into them,

00:44:48.740 –> 00:44:50.900
but I never tried.

00:44:50.900 –> 00:44:54.320
No, I do have a hardware KVM on my desktop.

00:44:54.320 –> 00:44:55.480
I haven’t really used it though,

00:44:55.480 –> 00:44:58.280
since I had just two Windows machines on my desktop.

00:44:58.280 –> 00:45:00.520
And that’s where I would switch between like hospital one

00:45:00.520 –> 00:45:01.720
and non-hospital one.

00:45:01.720 –> 00:45:02.560
Yeah.

00:45:02.560 –> 00:45:03.600
So anyway.

00:45:03.600 –> 00:45:05.520
You know, some people have a day phone and a night phone.

00:45:05.520 –> 00:45:07.880
You’ve got a hospital computer and a non-hospital computer.

00:45:07.880 –> 00:45:09.120
Makes perfect sense.

00:45:09.120 –> 00:45:09.960
All right.

00:45:09.960 –> 00:45:12.920
Well, on that note, we should wrap this puppy up,

00:45:12.920 –> 00:45:15.160
Put a bow in it, et cetera, et cetera.

00:45:15.160 –> 00:45:17.440
Stick a fork in it, blah, blah, blah.

00:45:17.440 –> 00:45:18.280
Do the whole thing.

00:45:18.280 –> 00:45:19.880
Push the big red KVM button.

00:45:19.880 –> 00:45:22.040
Big red KVM button.

00:45:22.040 –> 00:45:23.640
Counting it, why don’t you count us down

00:45:23.640 –> 00:45:25.080
and then we’ll push the button.

00:45:25.080 –> 00:45:26.120
Three.

00:45:26.120 –> 00:45:27.780
I’m starting at three, is that okay?

00:45:27.780 –> 00:45:28.620
Click.
