Most of my bands have come from Amazon for $8-$15. I’ve been very impressed with Nukelolo sport loops (which seem to be unavailable at the moment, but there may be other brands that are just as good).
They’re comfortable and they wear well. In comparison to the few genuine Apple bands I have, I’d say they’re a slightly looser weave. (That also makes them a little softer.)
Honestly, though, I can’t tell the difference unless I’m comparing the bands side-by-side.
I added the Apple Black Friday event to my calendar the other day after seeing an article or something that I wanted to buy.
Today I can’t remember what it was.
Yes, yes, “I guess I didn’t need it that badly” is one way to think about it, but obviously I thought it was important enough to add to my calendar. Just wish I had made a note what I was looking at.
Just saw the Macnificent 9 bundle go live affiliate link if you want to thank me or use the non-affiliate link if you like. It’s a steal of a deal if you want any of the apps–any one app for 50% off or the whole bundle for just $59 (list $272). Apps include: Timemator 2, RapidWeaver 8, Unclutter, Default Folder X, One Switch, Unite 3, Daisy Disk, Forklift 3, & Mosaic Pro;
Unclutter is my personal favorite. Puts a spot for quick notes, clipboard history, and a “holder” spot for files/folders/apps – all one swipe away from your menu bar. Great elegance.
Default Folder X is one I’ve heard people swear by, but I just couldn’t grok it in the free trial. But if you’ve been eying it…
Daisy Disk is fantastic, though CleanMyMac X has supplanted it for me. But it’s still a top-notch app.
Forklift 3 is a beast if you need FTP.
One Switch looks really interesting. Anyone use it before?
CodeRunner is the app that I use for all of my shell scripting.
I’ve had this app for years and it has been updated regularly. The most recent update is the best so far.
It had great color coding and recently added autocomplete for variables in shell scripts. It was recently updated to version 4, making it a great time to buy, currently 40% off ($15 instead of $25).
How does CodeRunner compare to Visual Studio Code? The obvious differences are CodeRunner is made by an indy developer, always preferred, but VS Code is free, multi-platform and has a ton of extensions.
I hope you are doing well. 2020 has been a very rough year for many. So we wanted to do something extra special for Black Friday this year (Last year was supposed to be our last Black Friday Marvin deal).
In addition to a discount for the yearly or monthly sub, you can also get a deal on the Marvin lifetime account.
To claim the 50% discount on the monthly or yearly subscription use the code: BF2020
To get 20% off the lifetime plan ($240) use the code: LIFE2020
The deals are valid until Friday December 4th 2020 (how is it already December??)
If you have any questions about the deal or Marvin in general, just reply to this email.
Jump is also my preferred Remote Desktop app/service. Screens seems to have connection issues that Jump does not. Having owned both for years, Jump has been my preferred for more than 4 years now.
