Typestyler is Mac OS only for $59.99 and a 30-day fully functional free trial is available. Typestyler RibbonĪnd I’ve barely scraped the surface, as they say. Starting a new project you are offered 8 templates – page, poster, banner, cd, bag, box, 3D model, and Video. Typestyler offers an amazing if somewhat bewildering array of options for each aspect of your project. I design placards, badges (what you call buttons), leaflets, event posters, and such. Now that I’ve retired from paid employment I volunteer with several community groups. I use about 10% of the functions of this app but I will use it as long as Strider Software keep updating. In fact, I’d go so far as to say I won’t update my OS until Typestyler is updated. 2009 is the year Typestyler returned after the major Mac OS rebuild so I may have been using it for 10 years. I’ve been using it for about 5 years now, maybe even longer. I am still using Typestyler by Strider Software. By the way, she’s the one who coined the term NosillaCastaway in the first place! I would like to know how many people who can still say that on Windows, right? OzRose on TypeStylerĬontinuing from “down under”, Rose from Tasmania sent in her I’m Still Using It. This is the first time I’ve ever had a sign-off in Māori, the language of the indigenous people of New Zealand! It’s amazing that you’re still using a Mac that’s nearly a decade old. Ngā Mihi, ← nga mihi – Te Aka Māori Dictionary Pronounce naaaah meehee It has had one battery replacement and still goes well although it can’t be upgraded beyond Catalina. It has a massive 8GB of RAM paired with a 250 GB SSD (there is still 72 GB unused). I love that it has MagSafe and an SD card slot. I’m still using my 13” MacBook Pro (early 2013). The only time I ever heard of Ingress was when Pokemon was introduced, and all of the Ingress kids were all, “we were there before it was cool.” What a terrific way to have fun, become more fit, and have fun exploring your local surroundings. I’ve tried the other Niantic games, Pokémon Go, Harry Potter, Pickmen but I never stopped playing Ingress alongside them. They all had similar stories of weight loss and feeling more healthy overall. I went from huffing and puffing to get up the hill behind Shomyoji (a nearby temple) to being able to climb the more direct stairway up with hardly a pause.Īnd I ran into a lot of people also playing the game. In that first year I lost 20kg just running around a 5km radius from home, capturing portals and creating fields. Where a Green controlled portal was, I went to either attack or gather items to level up. I would go out after lunch exploring all kinds of places, shrines, temples, a statue here, a memorial plaque there. So I signed up and a quick look at the scanner showed that most of the area I lived in was Green (Enlightened), so I went with the Blue faction (The Resistance) to have a good challenge. Ingress was then released out of beta shortly before Christmas. I also had a portable Wi-Fi hot-spot for when I took my MacBook to the park to work. I did have a Nexus 7 that I mainly used for reading. But it wasn’t available for my iPhone 4S, and I didn’t know anyone to get an invite, so I started plotting out what my commute might look like. Meanwhile, I was very jealous of all the techies playing Ingress that I heard on the various TWiT shows. (And if I could lose some of that tire around my waist, so much the better.) A “commute” in the morning and evening seemed like a good way to begin and end the day. I’d been working from home since around 2004 and it was becoming clear that I would only leave the house to open the shutters in the morning and close them at night. I was thinking about what my goals would be for 2014 and was really thinking that I needed a commute. We’ll start with a contribution from Michael Westbay: Michael Westbay on Ingress For now, this is the last installment of the I’m Still Using It series.
