Computer Thought

I want to get my hands on a newer Mac. Obviously, finances are an Issue of Importance at my end right now since I'm between jobs. Even if they weren't, I don't think I'd want the absolute-latest top of the line machine.

But what I do need is something that will work with the latest versions of Clip Studio Paint and Serif's Affinity Suite of graphic designware, and the freeware planetarium software Gaia Sky. And since any job interviews I'm able to get scheduled are also likely to be conducted by way of internet video conference...

I'm already asking around via my local Mac User Group re: the hardware.

Meantime, as part of the job search process, I've been looking for photography work. Also, sharing some of the practice results here and on Flickr. So, I think I'm going to go for a walk and take pix of street signage and landmarks while I still have the weather for it this morning.

Computer Thought Addendum I

I am getting tired of encountering emojis in the subject headers of the e-mails I receive that the OS version my computer uses can't make readable to me because it's stuck with an older version of the Unicode standard. My cleverphone has an easier time of it, but it too has its limitations.

Seemed like a good thing to look at. J-Source serves roles similar to Poynter.org for Canadian journalists, if you're wondering.
