Adobe

Finally have Adobe Acrobat and Adobe InDesign working again. Adobe did a forced upgrade to CC 2018 because it improves their control and brand, but makes arbitrary changes to satisfy their coke-adled engineers over the experience and functioning of clients. Apple is on the same course. Microsoft showed them how it was done.

I opened the SSC #4 file to create the PDF, could not choose any tools (all grayed out). Followed directions. Threw away preferences, rebooted. Same. Rebuilt and restored my Apple system (which also did a forced upgrade to 10.13 so you never know if the problem is Apple-based or Adobe-based). And finally uninstalled InDesign and reinstalled it fresh, which lost my workspace options and all previous links, so I have to reset the connection to graphics.

I am deciding whether I change the opening editorial. Some people might find it distasteful. The struggle is if I really care enough about offending people. I sort of do, but also value honesty. Hard to find that balance.

So I thought I'd force an update on y'all and change the logo. In #5 I will change the interior design. In #6 I will change the language to Esperanto because - it'll be better for you to learn. My decision. Kaj vi ne legis Jorune ĝis vi legis Sho-Caudal en Esperanto. Vi neniam bezonos Viagra se vi havas Esperanton.

Ĉu vi ne sentas pli inteligenta jam?

It will come out before the 5th, but just by a couple of days. It could have gone out two weeks ago but ... hard to do when you can't work on the document.
