![]() ![]() However, since I just provide the service and the client wanted to have such a field, I went ahead and built it. I never had any issues to convince clients to use markdown up until then. On the one hand, those may be two of the most popular blogging platforms online today, but, on the other, I suspect the kind of user who appreciates a focused text editor like Ulysses is the kind of blogger who would prefer a more advanced blogging solution like Substack, Wordpress or Ghost.Thanks for your insight had the same thoughts when a client first contacted me regarding such a field. I suppose I should also mention that there’s not a direct integration with Squarespace or Wix blogs either. Substack is gaining popularity at a rapid clip and I suspect there are many Substack writers who would be interested in using Ulysses (perhaps writers reading this very post). Hopefully this is something Ulysses can bring to Substack as soon as it’s technically feasible. While most of my formatting remains intact, I have encountered at least one incompatibility: my H3 headings don’t transfer from Ulysses to Substack.įurther, if I want to make a change to a published Substack post, I have to make the edit in both Ulysses and Substack so that both documents stay current. Still, it’s the one wall that I hit on a routine basis.Ĭurrently, when I want to publish to Substack I have to copy and paste my text into the web-based Substack editor. In fairness though, I’m not sure if Substack offers an API to make this possible. If I have one quibble with Ulysses it’s that it doesn’t support direct publishing to Substack. Using Ulysses, I can slide an article into the main editor panel, and with one click (or tap on iPad OS), hide the library panels leaving me with nothing but my words on a screen. I am typically working on a few articles for Medium Focus at any one time. I currently have groups for Medium Focus, Personal Notes, Client Proposals and Introductory Emails. And how you organize your writing becomes as much a part of the writing process as the writing itself.ĭocs in the library are sorted into groups (and sub groups if you so choose). The advantage here is that you can slide docs in and out of the editor with ease. The two left columns are collapsable, and are used for document organization, what Ulysses calls your library. The main column is a large blank space for writing. The main application window is made up of three columns. In Ulysses, documents all live inside the app itself. Structurally, a file is stored somewhere on your computer, and you must find, select and open that file before editing it in Word. On the PC.I have no idea what this is called on a PC. But the other is the system application for storing, saving and managing files. One is the actual program called Word, in which you write and edit text. When using Word, you are actually using two different applications. Case in point: what you’re reading now has been written entirely in Ulysses. For my purposes, which is namely to write short to medium length articles for online publication, Ulysses just fits me like a glove. At one point I tried them all, but I keep coming back to Ulysses. While Word was designed to serve every conceivable market (students, researchers, lawyers, etc.), text editors are crafted for just one audience: writers.īBEdit, iA Writer, Ulysses, and Scrivener are perhaps the most well known. This is to say that if you want to format your text in all the ways big and small, Word has your back.īut what if you just want to write text? And to focus your mind’s eye exclusively on that text? Enter the text editor: applications for and by lovers of the written word. Sometimes there are menus within the menus. Clicking on the arrow displays even more icons. To the right of the toolbar there’s an arrow. There’s a toolbar that sits atop the screen, and within that toolbar are icons, many icons in fact, for performing actions. Nevertheless, for almost all of us, Word has been the application we have reliably opened for decades now whenever we wanted to commit words and paragraphs to a text document.Īnd Word is a Big Powerful Application. ![]() ![]() If you’re a touch older, you may also recall using Letter Perfect or its older sibling, Word Perfect. Technically, if you’re as old as me, 40, you may have some vague recollection of Microsoft Works. If you grew up writing any kind of text on a computer, Microsoft’s Word has probably been your go to for as long as you can remember. ![]()

![]() ![]() I booked the holiday i wanted at the price i wanted, but after a few months it all went down hill and a very fast pace. Like most people you read the reviews on the hotel and the resort etc, but not the holiday company. I booked with teletex a year ago for a holiday to fuerteventura this last march, and i have been trying to warn people ever since. The whole thing stinks and is plain extortion i can't believe they haven't been brought to task by the authorities yet. This is something i have now found from online reviews they have been practising for many years and appear to be getting away with extortion, i always check reviews of holiday destinations in detail but i have let my guard down not checking teletext.Īll the operatives from teletext holidays are based in an overseas call centre which i have no issues with but why are they all using false British names? Having checked my credit card statement online they have also made another unauthorised debit from my card. Having already agreed a quote and paid in full i refused to pay any more on principal, i was now informed that i must pay the £40.00 extra or the cost of the flights £2687.92 would be 100% non refundable. ![]() ![]() I immediately made a credit card payment on the phone for the full amount, I was then put on hold for ten minutes only to be greeted by another operative who informed me the room i had booked was now not available so i would have to pay £40.00 on top of my £3398 for an upgrade to another room. I booked a package holiday with teletext yesterday, whilst on the phone to them i agreed a price and received an email quotation stating agreed amount whilst still on the line. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can use these effects on any clips, but if you’re looking to create a real vintage feel, check out these retro-futuristic clips full of neon lights, light grids, and more from the “Yesterday’s Tomorrow” trend.

This will give you more room to tweak the image in a much more intricate way that’s meant to work closer with the information and colors in your shot. ![]() Now, it’s important to note: This is not a VHS overlay, meaning you won’t be placing a clip on top of your footage, rather, we’re going to learn how to manipulate the image you’ve shot. We’ll even look at how we can add imperfections to the footage that would usually require work in After Effects. However, in this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a VHS-inspired look entirely using Premiere Pro. If you’re not experienced with After Effects - or are just in a hurry - this can slow your workflow. Most VHS look tutorials rely on After Effects, and then sending your footage back into Premiere Pro. This nostalgic style was one of 2019’s biggest creative trends, and it remains just as popular today.

Anyway, you’ll pick these guys up when you walk over them, and will be able to use them as you like from then after. Note that if you run out of ammo for the Rifle, it will slowly regenerate ammo up to a set amount, making it useful for shooting organic explosives, gravity switches, and the like.Ĭrawlers are essentially alien grenades, which is odd, considering they’re crawling all over the ship. In point of fact, that’s about all you’ll ever need to use it for most other enemies will move too quickly for this mode of fire to be effective against them. This takes up quite a bit more ammo than does the normal firing mode, but is handy for dealing with enemy Hunter snipers. The Rifle’s secondary firing mode will flip it to sniper mode, allowing you to snipe away at distant enemies. If you fire for too long, though, you’ll choke the weapon and have to wait a moment for it to reload with new ammo. While it doesn’t possess much firepower, it’ll be more than enough to deal with the weaker enemies that you encounter in your path, such as Hunters and Fodder. It has a large supply of ammo, and all enemy Hunters will drop it as well, making ammo easy to find. The Rifle is the earliest alien weapon that you’ll possess. The Rifle’s weak, but you’ve got plenty of ammo for it, so feel free to use it liberally when Hunters are about. ![]() ![]() GameSpot's Game Guide to Prey will guide you through all of the game's many challenges, offering up tips on the weapons, enemies, and boss fights you'll be encountering, with some video thrown in for good measure. Prey brings some interesting twists to the traditional FPS gameplay, with features such as portals and gravity shifting. Tommy is eventually freed from his gruesome fate, and is forced to fight against the Sphere's inhabitants to save Jen before she's consumed in the engines of harvest. The denizens of the Sphere are all biomechanical in nature, and wish only to "harvest" humans for food supplies, as sources of protein for the enigmatic being known only as the Mother. Things change abruptly when Jen, Enisi, and Tommy are all abducted by an alien spaceship known as the Sphere. In it, you take on the role of Tommy, a shiftless Cherokee native who wishes only to leave the reservation and start a life in the outside world.but he's anchored in place by the wishes of his grandfather, Enisi, and especially those of his girlfriend, Jen, who owns a bar on the reservation and doesn't wish to give it up. It's time to pick up another summer FPS in Prey, the highly anticipated title from 3DRealms and Human Head.

The second cable is a regular 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable which is completely optional and can be used to connect the Gold headset to virtually any audio device like your computer, smartphone or other mobile devices for listening to audio using of course a wired connection. The unfortunately very short micro-USB to USB cable is only used for charging the headset itself. Moving right along you'll be as thrilled as us to find that very little additional cables are actually included with this wireless headset. The first thing is a black fabric drawstring pouch for protecting your small investment whilst you're out and about, although not very much protection will be offered by this cleaning cloth of a pouch in the way of impact and general crushing of things. Looking into the well packaged and easy to unbox packaging we have got a few items included with the Gold stereo wireless headset. That means that you won't be able to enjoy the Gold's 7.1 virtual surround sound feature or any of the bass boosting functionality when the headset is powered on and wirelessly connected to either a PS4 or a PS3 console. Not only is it aesthetically good looking, but the reasoning behind this concealment is so that you'll be able to use the Gold headset as normal headphones without them looking like they're missing some kind of an attachment.ĭespite its ill-considered name, the Gold headset as you see it is in fact black in color with Sony's signature blue color accenting the headband which creeps around the sides creating a stylish looking trim that is somewhat indicative of the PS4's status light bar.Īnd although the Gold headset was introduced alongside Sony's next-generation gaming console, it will also work wirelessly with the PS3 as well as with a number of other devices using an included audio cable. Its noise canceling microphone is embedded into the left ear cup where chances are you'll never even see the sight of it. Not so much with the Gold headset though. ![]() When you think about the term "headset" you immediately picture something with a microphone boom sticking out the side. The Gold headset looks simplistic yet still highly slick compared to other gaming headsets made by Sony and other competitors, and that is what also helps make it stand out aesthetically. It's all very updated and part of Sony's new design language for accessories it seems. Even though the PS4 is the most cutting-edge gaming console with its angular parallelogram design, the styling of the Gold headset is surprisingly less Sony and more Beats-like in that there are no visible moving parts but instead it's got one fluid clean curvature designed to conceal things like the pivoting ear cup joins and the headband adjustment mechanism. This time however, Sony's Gold headset is quite a significant and welcome departure from previous PlayStation 3 headsets which have all looked a lot like the console they were assigned to represent. ![]() It was all about being bold, hugely bold.

Percentages indicate change from 5-foot measurement on same device. * Line-of-sight testing with a single router point. Router Performance Compared (in Mbps)* Header Cell - Column 0 It was 19 percent faster at this distance than Google Wifi, 34 percent faster than the Linksys Velop and 50 percent faster than the Ubiquiti AmpliFi HD. Using IxChariot software, Purch Labs' real-world testing showed that a single Orbi router could deliver a combined average throughput of 552.1 megabits per second (Mbps) at 5 feet. Make no mistake about it: All of this makes the Orbi a powerful beast. A QCA9984 chip controls the backhaul data channel. With the Orbi router 30 feet and two walls away, the Orbi extension projected 429.1 Mbps to a laptop one floor above it - more than double Google Wifi's performance.Įach Orbi device has Qualcomm's IPQ4019 Wi-Fi control chip and radio as well as a 710-MHz quad-core ARM-based processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of solid-state storage space. (The dedicated backhaul channel uses 4x4 radios.) But the Orbi adds the latest MU-MIMO (multi-user, multiple input and multiple output) Wi-Fi technology for sending focused data streams to several devices at the same time. Like Google Wifi, the Orbi is a 2x2 router, and can handle two simultaneous streams of data to properly configured devices, per frequency band. (Orbi units sold in packs come out of the box synchronized.) Each Orbi sports a USB 2.0 port as well, but, like the Bluetooth radios, they're awaiting activation by a future software update. There are also buttons to reset a device and to synchronize the router with extra satellites. You can use the other LAN ports to connect to printers, network-attached storage drives and stationary PCs. On the router, one port is yellow and connects to your broadband modem. Newer models in the Orbi line have all been true mesh systems.Įach Orbi's backside has a power input, an on/off button and four gigabit Ethernet ports. Update: This is no longer the case, and the Orbi RBK50 has had true mesh capability since the firmware was changed in late 2018. The router can handle up to three satellites, but each satellite communicates directly with the host router in a hub-and-spoke arrangement, rather than in a true mesh topology that would let data pass from one satellite to another. You can't randomly decide which unit should be the router and which should be the repeater. There's also a Bluetooth radio and antenna, but they're dormant for now.Īlthough they look the same, the Orbi's router unit and satellite units are not interchangeable. To support this configuration, each Orbi device has six high-performance amplified antennas around its perimeter. Because of this side channel, the main links between the Orbi units and your devices stay strong and fast. There's a twist, though: Netgear adds a second 5-GHz, 1.7Gbps radio that's exclusively dedicated to the backhaul, the data being transmitted from the router Orbi unit to the satellite Orbis and back again. The primary 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios provide a theoretical peak throughput of 1.2Gbps of data flow to user devices. The Orbi transmits Wi-Fi data on three radio-frequency bands. But if it glows amber, your internet connection is weak if it's magenta, your connection is gone. When an Orbi device glows white around the oval on top, it's starting up. Like Google Wifi, the Orbi units have color-coded LEDs. ![]() ![]() That also caused similar issues on return to normal as it abruptlyĬhanged whatever the newly required iTerm value would be.Ģ.8 has code that reduces iTerm accumulation the higher the roll rate, but never arbitrarily cuts it to zero. In 2.7 this was changed to not reset to zero but to hold the value iTerm was at when the threshold was crossed. ThisĬontrolled excessive iTerm gain but caused a small but unwanted step change in pitch at the time of returning back past the threshold. ![]() ITerm didn't start accumulating again until gyro rate fell back below the threshold. In 2.6 code was introduced that set iTerm to zero once gyros indicated a certain level of rotation. However in some situations ITerm accumulation is inevitable and the challenge is how best to deal with it. In that sense this is a symptom of P not being quite enough, or I being too much. When dropping throttle, the need for that amount of iTerm changes, and it takes a short time for the iTerm to drop back. Pitching back means that P alone was unable to retain the intended angle in FFF, and iTerm accumulated in an attempt to get there. blackboxes show normal behaviour.Īny slow pitch back type thing is iTerm related. There is seriously nothing with the pitch. I am here talking about P's around 6.510 depending on the quad. I retuned all my quads yesterday and typically only my littlebee quads reaply needed much more pitch P to make the pitch stable. Just raise your pitch P and perhaps lower I. I bet all of the guys who have pitch issues fly with very low pitch P's I thought I would buckle and get some help here first. One thing I haven't tried is swapping components around. Either way, it does seem that one motor is producing more thrust at idle than the others or something like that. I am not well versed enough on how the PID loop reacts to that sort of situation. I noticed that often the quad was tilting forward and to the right when I dropped the throttle so this would make sense that the PID loop would try to reduce the number 3 motor to stop the back left of the quad from lifting but I can't work out why, when that didn't work the FC didn't try raising the other 3 motors a bit to maintain attitude. One thing I found interesting in the log is that if you look at the motor traces at those points, motor 3 is "flatlining" at min throttle, while the other motors are still working. I am not getting any rolls of death or desyncs I don't think.
