Makes it really easy to notice when the first font fails to load.@vickimurley Congrats on whatever’s next! Thank you for always fielding our ridiculous questions at WWDC with a straight face.font-face: ‘webfont-whatever’, ‘Comic Sans MS’, ...“Marco. I shit you not, but it's loading Comic Sans before TypeKit kicks in.” — @GlennF discovers my webfont debugging technique@GlennF That’s horrible.@marcoarment It’s almost as if job titles are meaningless… signed, Chief Brand Strategy Officer.
Retweeted by Marco Arment@GlennF Seems like my AEAPBRAAC should also handle the contracts.@marcoarment Just add Factory to the end and you can probably hire a Java package. Security might be a problem though.
Retweeted by Marco Arment@marcoarment You need a Janine from Ghostbusters.
Retweeted by Marco ArmentYou’re telling me that I need to hire an administrative executive accounts payable bookkeeping receivable assistant accountant coordinator.@jonflath Fortunately, the accountant does the 1099s once I give him the W-9s and list of what I’ve paid everyone.Based on your replies, I can call this job pretty much anything. Thank you.That’s turning out to be a surprising amount of work that I’m doing for The Magazine.How do you describe the job of getting W-9s from writers, paying invoices, and making sure people deposit their checks? I need to hire one.@marcoarment I'm listening to 'Neutral' and it appears that none of you know anything about cars
Retweeted by Marco Arment@blumenberg I own a first-gen Voyager Q. Works great, but a bit bulky, and certainly looks messy all the time with cables and bare drives.Oh cool, people are still debating the pronunciation of “gif.” Great, keep up the important work everyone.
Retweeted by Marco Arment@dnanian Awesome, thanks.@dnanian Nightly on internal secondary disk. Roughly monthly on terrible USB external.@todd_coleman Yes. Their software sucks but their service works well.@lhoBas Very helpful. Thanks.@lhoBas I don’t care about performance for the clones — just reliability. Does it work slowly, or just not work very well at all?To clarify, I also use Backblaze. (Can’t have too many backups. And a huge FiOS upstream is a waste without cloud backup.)@scottneukam Got two drives there already. (Added a BD-R, although I rarely use it. Mostly for parallel DVD ripping.)I guess I could move the SuperDuper clone sparseimages to an AirPort Extreme external disk. In theory. @dnanian, does that usually work?@franktisellano Of course. Already running.Considering: retire 1 TB to drive-toaster use 2 TB big files (old Time Machine) 3 TB Time Machine (new disk) deal with clone increase laterCurrent: 480 GB SSD primary 1 TB big files 2 TB Time Machine 2 TB nightly clones (also clone to an offline external drive occasionally)Can’t believe we’re to the point where I’m considering replacing a 1 TB drive in my Mac Pro because it’s too small and the bays are full.@nerdtalker @siromega Yeah, I realized that later. Sorry about that.Including the genesis of my 4.94” iPhone theory.After recording Neutral last week, @siracusa, @caseyliss, and I accidentally made a 14-minute tech podcast: https://t.co/swzpEEam@cityywarhol Sorry, I get tons of these inquiries and I can’t help you — too busy myself and can’t recommend anyone available.@JacksonChase I never said that. I said I don’t think people should try to justify piracy as some sort of higher cause or inevitable action.

I always wondered where these people were who thought Wi-Fi was ubiquitous. And that was back in 2004. It still isn’t.I had the same Dell Axim: http://t.co/MQskkdnz Sold it after a year and went back to my old Palm Vx. Windows CE sucked, Wi-Fi was nowhere.@bdorfman Fixed.@bdorfman Sorry about that. Looking into it.Maybe @BankofAmerica wouldn’t need to close so many branches if they didn’t often infuriate their customers. Meanwhile, I’m happy at Chase.Took an hour to close a deposit box and old account at a @BankofAmerica branch today. Two people running the bank. Two customers. An hour.Obviously, always a class act. I can totally see why everyone’s giving him the time of day.2009 interaction with @Jason: http://t.co/H6amBU3d http://t.co/IMea7e15 http://t.co/gp73S7As http://t.co/cVpFwkV9 http://t.co/EOG8RG6KFunny thing is that I’m here to close an old account and deposit box.@jordansatok I asked its author directly and got a better price. Nice guy, too.Waiting forever for an account rep at Bank of America because the only rep working today is arguing with a customer for 45 minutes over $10.@hotdogsladies ᴛᴇʀᴘ@hotdogsladies You should do a car podcast. Because I know how much you love cars and people who love cars.@eduo @jsnell More interestingly, we can say almost the same thing about Microsoft.@eduo Bingo. They had good times, but nothing noteworthy in over a decade. @jsnell@eduo @jsnell How long has it been since researching and ordering a PC or server from Dell’s website has been a pleasant experience?@adityasood @jsnell Fair point. So what have they done there lately?@jsnell Dell never did “revolutionary”. They did good implementations of PC hardware. And “good” started eroding a long time ago.@jsnell I’m not sure I’d call their decline quick. They peaked in quality and customer happiness about 13 years ago.@schifter_ HP ZR30w. It’s good in most ways but mediocre in a few. I’m not sure I’d recommend it.@helical Yup.@themillsap Actually, this was the Butthole Surfers covering Hurdy Gurdy Man from the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack. (Really.)Fun with the iTunes visualizer. http://t.co/nODxAcfbMichael Dell about purchasing shares back: "I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
Retweeted by Marco Arment@jon01 @_DavidSmith Otherwise, get a humidifier.@jon01 @_DavidSmith There’s not much you can do about static, especially in the winter. A finer grind reduces chaff, which sticks the most.@PimCoumans I’d love to see the report. You can email it to me@marco.org

@forrestgrant “I’m struggling to find a replacement for @siracusa and @marcoarment podcasts. Please don’t say their awesome new podcast.”@siracusa @mrpommer @tiffanyarment We can do a 4-episode bagel podcast miniseries.http://t.co/3l9YWhGx@marcoarment looking forward to seeing it on my screen saver 15 years ago
Retweeted by Marco ArmentWe’ve made the article free on the website for everyone to read: http://t.co/xf71nSHMA great honor: Apple linked to @TheMagazineApp’s article by @steven_aquino, “Re-Enabled”, from Hot News: http://t.co/XX4rPWa0@siracusa @tiffanyarment It wasn’t. Cinnamon raisin. Not even close.@EyeFiCard @ralphhhenson @Dropbox That doesn’t solve the problem when we’re away from home.Trying to convert a project to ARC before lunch is like releasing a major web-app update on a Friday evening.@evanhaldrich Depends on how much it’s transferring. RAWs? Forget it. Smaller JPEGs? Noticeable but not bad.@jbravar Motorola MBP36: http://t.co/l0rlsXxt@greghochsprung Not really. FWIW, I use it for Instapaper saves in The Magazine.@shawnblanc @maxvoltar My main reservation with Stripe is their relatively poor support for non-U.S.-centric payment methods.@shawnblanc @maxvoltar I’ll be testing Tinypass this week (Andrew Sullivan’s pick for his new thing). Shawn, did you consider that?@ryanhsinger It brings the JPEG resolution down from 24MP to 10MP, a tradeoff I’m willing to make when the destination is iOS devices.@amperesand Usually.@Gromble @tiffanyarment Not in this case.Now it only needs to upload about 2 MB per shot. It’s noticeably faster to get to its destination.Another trick to speed up my Eye-Fi transfers: setting the camera to “medium” quality with RAW+JPEG makes smaller JPEGs but full-size RAWs.@maxvoltar More than anything else, that message is why I’m looking to abandon PayPal for Instapaper subscription processing.@maxvoltar I hate PayPal so much. What that really means is your payment failed (expired card?), and PayPal auto-suspended the subscription.Tiff and I are still having mini-prank wars with the remaining party balloons. http://t.co/8HUiR85e@chiefdoofficer It locks quickly. The kid just moves continuously. It’s a challenge, but its even a challenge with my SLR, just less so.@drwave You can buy more batteries and a charger. Just weird that it doesn’t come with the charger like every other high-end camera.My crazy setup would be a lot simpler if @EyeFiCard supported uploading directly to Dropbox.@drwave If we used the II enough anymore, I’d probably upgrade, but we only shoot maybe 20 frames a week on it these days.@RealMattyThomas Right, the quality is only enabled with JPEG or RAW+JPEG.@drwave Sure. It depends on your purpose. I’m using the JPEGs to post way-better-than-iPhone quality to Instagram and Twitter from my phone.Of course, it must, because of a little unnecessary inconvenience: it doesn’t come with an external battery charger.Little awesome convenience on the RX1 (and probably other small cameras): it charges over USB. Transfer photos, eject, keep charging.@RealMattyThomas Good question, I considered setting the quality lower to see but didn’t experiment yet.Also, Hazel is far more reliable than Automator/Folder Actions at auto-importing from a Dropbox folder to iPhoto.@drwave FWIW, the AWB in the RX1 is pretty fantastic. Better than my 5D Mark II. (No experience with the Mark III.)

@fromedome I’m always shocked that anyone can get enough data throughput to do that.@marcoarment Oh, I see. Rrrr. Camera makers are so behind the times. Eye-Fi exists as a consumer market failure device.
Retweeted by Marco Arment@GlennF Even with Sony’s integration where it powers the card for a little longer. Even 20 feet from the router.@GlennF It CAN transfer RAWs, but it’s so slow that it bogs down the queue and the JPEGs don’t get through before camera power-down.@GlennF Since I’m still needing to import the RAWs via traditional cable, I figured the loss of Endless Memory wouldn’t matter.
