Well, used my buddy PETEY (ChatGPT) to help me learn
how. That rabbitholed into learning about homebrew &
using that to setup and run GAM.
I have been using ChatGPT to write a few scripts this week, mainly firewall related, one to auto report to abuseipdb and similar. But also
a couple of weather related scripts. I am waiting for a weather alert
here to start on my next project with ChatGPT
I like how it will do stuff, but it is not perfect. But it teaches
as it goes, so you learn it AND you figure out the 10% it is missing.
:-) That's my style of learning!
That led into learning about iTerm and micro for an
editor. That led into replacing my MultiMail istall
with one from HomeBrew, then setting terminal colors
and such, and using micro for the reply editor.
I have been using iTerm for almost as long as I have been using Mac's which is far too long :) It is my default terminal now. I use BlueMail which I complied here. I added rsz via homebrew so I can download and upload mail by using triggers
Ah nice! I was taking my MIL to her widow friend's house after church,
and had the thought about using it somehow to read/reply Apple Mail,
which is what I use. :-) It tells me it's not that easy... I could
access and read, but would be better using a homebrew IMAP reader. Then
of course I'd lose the cross functionality with my iPhone, iPad, iCloud
stuff (contacts, calendar, etc.). :-)
I write a blog and record it as a podcast too. I usually write
into the browser window and then go back and edit. I'm thinking
seriously about loading an old school word processor to write with -
clean screen - less distractions - etc.
I then found out that SyncTERM, that I have used for
years for telnet, is also a homebrew item, so I'm
using a newer version of it and learned how to edit
the ini and lst files.
So it's been a great week for Apple for me! LOL
Sadly my 2015 Macbook Air had to be Windowed so I could use my weather forecasting software. It went with me to Mongolia in 2015 and was
dropped so many times but lasted
Ouch - but glad it lasted! My next 'project' on top of normal things is
to start scrapping LESS stuff (e-cycle, we don't dumpster it - we use everything we can until it can't be used anymore - school system) and
turning it into a linux distro that SOMEONE can use for SOMETHING. :-)
I'm curious about your software!
