Surly's "Cynic Ale" is the best beer currently on tap at Acadia. If you can find it where you're living, go ahead and hit it. It is non-regrettable. (It also gets me trashed with alacrity. It's marked as 6.7% by volume, but it feels bigger than that. Must be the hops. I doubt my ability to handle two pints of the stuff.)
Here's a cool program. It's basically a standard Cocoa NSTextView editor control (i.e. it behaves the same way TextEdit does in plaintext mode), except:
1. If you hit the zoom (green) button in the window control, it goes totally fullscreen, blocking out everything else.
2. Instead of files, it manages a list of auto-saving buffers. If you want to edit in another program, you have to "export." (But it's not some kind of deliberately incompatible format; it edits, saves, and exports as plain old text. Doesn't handle Unicode saving as well as BBEdit, but c'est la vie.)
So yeah, kind of primitive, and I don't like that I can't open up and edit individual files, but it's really nice when you need to just eliminate all distractions and just get down a lot of text. I like.
Um, I've got some, like, little bitty... lumpy... bubbles or something? On the side of my index finger. They look kind of like a nettle sting, but they're not. Wasn't there a James Kochalka book about that? What on earth is it? (Sorry if that was TMI.)
