@lhauser that‘s so great! and i can see why. it still comes closest to that old typewriter feel and the prime variant does have some nice, elegant and curvy lines. i might add it to my list. courier definitely should be part of any list of monocspace fonts

i've created the draft for this post a while ago but only now had the time to finish and publish it. nessun dorma - you all have heard this famous aria from the opera turandot by puccini. but what does the phrase actually mean and what's its context within the plotline of the opera? read a short summary here...

Nessun dorma | cogmodo

“Nessun dorma”, a famous aria from Puccini’s opera “Turandot”, gained global popularity after Pavarotti’s 1990 performance for the FIFA Word Cup. The aria, sung by Prince Calaf, expresses his confidence in winning Princess Turandot’s hand in marriage despite her cruel riddles. Ultimately, Calaf’s act of generosity offers Turandot a second choice to abandon her life as a cruel and lonesome princess and instead become part of a happy married couple.

This week I wrote about a couple of ways to actually get to and write down those things, those processes you don't do often enough to remember. Even if you think you'll never forget, record it anyway!!

Also, I get bossy about file names. Be super specific, in as few words as possible! Your future self is only going to remember a couple of key words around the skill they're looking for, so make sure you use them.

@lhauser thanks you so much for reading my post! i usually write in markdown as much as this is possible. for links, images, footnotes and so on i tend to use the special tags provided by ulysses. key to my workflow is though, that every finished or nearly finished piece of writing gets exported as a single text file in markdown format. that way i can continue my process in other apps as well and don’t end up being locked in into ulysses
