I half imagine by 2041 (or, more than likely, a lot sooner) an AI will be able to do what I do at the press of a button (pressed by an AI robot editor, natch). Since I started regularly writing for magazines, the industry has changed beyond all recognition. Whether I’ll be lucky enough to still be doing this 20 years from now is hard to say. This is logically ridiculous when I’ve been smashing words into shape for two decades and am fortunate enough to have a solid number of editors keen to call on me for more work. But I suspect my lack of formal training in writing/journalism makes me think I don’t have the ’right’ to be here, doing what I do. Prior to that first paid gig, I’d written for years-just not for money. 20 years of experience, writing for the biggest tech publications and companies around and I have imposter syndrome. Any day now, it suggests, I’ll be ‘found out’. And I’ll let you in on a little secret: my brain helpfully still thinks I’m winging it. That first column for Online was 20 years ago this week. Others from those early days-most notably MacFormat and Retro Gamer-are still kicking. Many are now gone… Computer Arts Practical Web Design. (I don’t even recall how that came about.) The number of publications I wrote for grew. I started writing books on iMovie and web design. I was new and had to write under a pen name. #MOOM TOTALSPACES SOFTWARE#I started writing software reviews and took over Internet Advisor’s nascent Makeover column, where a reader would write in and I’d overhaul their website, like a cross between Gordon Ramsay and Bill Gates-only with significantly less riches than either of them.Ībout six months later, I plucked up the courage at an Apple Event to pitch to then-MacUser deputy editor Ian Betteridge (who I recall was happy to briefly escape several hours of dealing with reader tech support issues). Stuart must have been happy with what I wrote, because my details were quickly passed on to other editors at Future. He immediately responded to the news by asking if I’d like to pen the back page of the magazine’s next issue-a ‘Sacred Cow’ column on Flash. I told Stuart, asking him to in future contact me on a different email address. Then the dot-com crash happened and I abruptly found myself out of a job. We’d been in frequent contact for months, with me working for a marketing department and feeding him pithy comments for Online, a Future Publishing magazine aimed at web designers. I have a 3x3 grid on the right hand monitor.You can blame Stuart Dredge. I have my left monitor as a communications hub. I use this with dual monitors and love that each monitor can have its own virtual desktop. Once again, it's limited to <12.0 and Intel-only Macs, but they have a TotalSpaces3 in alpha they are working on trying to release at some point.Ĭheck out Total Spaces() for Mac. Highly recommend it if you run a lot of concurrent apps and windows. ![]() I also use their TotalSpaces2 which is an amazing Spaces manager. Unfortunately, Total Spaces 3 isn't out yet, and. However, I'm still on Big Sur v11.6, specifically because Monterey is wholly incompatible with Total Spaces, you can't even hack it to work. ![]() I absolutely love it and find it difficult to use the primitive built-in spaces management. Most window apps have all the same or similar features, but Mosaic includes some really advanced layout options that you can save and then.Ĭan anyone please identify this virtual space switching app? (From a YouTube video)Īfter macOS ditched the 2D space switching for the 1D thing, I got Total Spaces 2 which allows me to do the 2D space switching again. There are a ton of great window manager (Magnet is still one of the common ones around which you brought up, but Mosaic is my favorite. ![]() There is a little confusion as most macOS users are not familiar with the difference between a window manager and a window tiling manager. Considering MBPs and am not sure (moving from Arch Linux on Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 7). ![]()
