seems to me people who use facebook a lot do it bec it's a status thing: they have to be in on the latest trend, they have to be in on the latest tech. just the same with people who just have to have the latest gadgets... it's all very superficial
after almost 2 years of using os x i only knew that now... always wondered how you could start an app from the keyboard. i never bothered to ask since i'm mostly in iterm and tmux sessions. thanks :)
+1 i sure would also like to know more insights here...
i have an app too (not in the app store, but in macupdate, http://bit.ly/ipaUfI and some other sites that publish for free). to support it i created a quick 1 page site, registered a domain and emailed a few writers from design/mac-centric sites i go to. after a week though i can say that it doesn't seem to be working, still no coverage and only getting crumbs of feedback.
i studied fine arts majoring in painting. i love the arts in general, but somehow i also got discontented by doing things that does nothing but hang there. and that's why i ended up as a programmer now, to do stuff that works. i still continue doing art-related stuff though.
