Follow Up on Panel Editor<\/h3>\n

Last week, I told you about my amazing discovery of the built-in app Panel Editor<\/a>, which allows you to make a set of onscreen buttons that can act much like a Stream Deck. I was so proud of my discovery and decided to do a pop quiz with Adam Engst to see if he\u2019d ever heard of it. I figured if Adam had never heard of it, then I\u2019d really discovered something.<\/p>\n

When I asked, Adam said no, he hadn\u2019t heard of it. I sent him my article, and he said he didn\u2019t have time to read it right away but would in a few days. Now here\u2019s where the story gets funny. A few days later, he told me that it turns out he had written about Panel Editor<\/a> back in 2019. I thought that was amusing, and<\/em> reassuring because I often forget what I talked about last week.<\/p>\n

But it gets funnier. I started reading his article, and in it, he talked about this trick Sal Saghoian demonstrated at a conference called MacTech. When I saw the screenshot of the panel Sal had created, I suddenly remembered that I was actually at that MacTech talk and saw Sal\u2019s demonstration! And \u2026 I wrote it up too<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I told Adam I was there<\/em> and that\u2019s when the story got to the funniest part. Adam remembered we were sitting next to each other at MacTech when we both saw Sal demonstrate Panel Editor.<\/p>\n

You know that classic trope in movies and TV shows of two old ladies sitting around, both not being able to remember a story? Yeah, that\u2019s Adam and me.<\/p>\n

The good news is that sitting together at MacTech is how we became friends, which led to Adam being our regular guest on Chit Chat Across the Pond.<\/p>\n

Support the Show<\/a><\/h3>\n

I explained earlier in the show that the wonderful service Auphonic does most of the work to bring you great audio, and saves me a bucketload of time to publish the show. I mentioned that the extra credits were $12, and you know, that one’s on me for borking up the feed. But Auphonic costs $11\/month, and you all benefit, so if just 12 of you went to podfeet.com\/donate<\/a> and bought me two coffees, that would almost pay for a year’s worth of Auphonic. That would be awesome!<\/p>\n
