Tuesday trades

I had a relatively short schlafstunde yesterday so was a little tired and started nursing a bit of headache towards the afternoon. To make things more “interesting” Mr. Market was being even more manic-depressive than usual in the first half of the day. These last couple of days it’s been like pulling teeth out there. […]

OS X - Another take 1 week later

As Richard mentioned, it takes time to get used to OS X, but now I quite like it :-) I toned down the font smoothing and disabled it for small fonts so things are more readable while still looking very pretty. I’ve customized a lot of the top bar to show all the stats I […]
