Actually blimp is an irregular verb meaning to travel by dirigible. I blamp from Dallas to Austin; I have blump the same route many times.

macOS Ventura 13.5.1 seems to have introduced an interesting bug in my system. After updating the OS I found that NotePlan was consistently crashing immediately on launch. I eventually traced the problem to a handful of old Finder alias files in my NP Templates folder. The aliases still work in Finder, i.e. double-clicking opens the original files in the appropriate application. If I remove the old aliases and place new ones to the same files in the Templates folder, NotePlan works fine.

I also tried sending one of the old aliases to NotePlan’s developer as an email attachment. I’m not sure if Apple Mail normally accepts alias files as attachments or if it’s trying to resolve the alias and send the original file, but in any case, dragging one of the old aliases into a compose-message window also crashes Mail.

Tried to post this last week while I was still in NM/CO but I don’t think it went through. This is on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad.

Look what just landed in the tree behind my apartment.

Given that I can get a URL link to pretty much any digital object I may be interested in, and can scan hard-copy documents and take pictures of real-world objects and then link to those, I’m wondering if I could generate a personal RSS feed to use as a universal One True Inbox. Has anyone tried this?

Hey @manton , you seem to do a lot of train travel. I’m thinking of heading out to the Big Bend for a long weekend this summer. Austin to Alpine is about a 6-hour drive. There’s a train but it’s a 16-hour trip. Worth it?
