Buddha Machine? idk the difference between white and brown noise.

yeah Simply Noise looks like it does brown noise + sleep timer, that might be your best bet here.

you could make your own brown noise, that's what i do

is that a poop joke or

idgi?

I use Whitenoise by tmsoft.

thanks everyone. on the desktop it's http://simplynoise.com all the way.

some months back i bought a brown noise track from itunes that's not too long, and i guess i could just put that on and let it cut out to silence when it's done. i think i might try that. i looked at the budda machine though and i'll go check out jeff's thing too right now.

we use simply noise when we lived above a bar it worked great

there's a chance i might've actually found out about that from you. definitely helps me.

I had no idea

[Brown noise] decreases in power by 12 dB per octave (40 dB per decade) and, when heard, has a "damped" or "soft" quality compared to white and pink noise. The sound is a low roar resembling a waterfall or heavy rainfall. See also purple noise, which is a 12 dB increase per octave.

A Brownian motion, also called a Wiener process

my girlfriend swears by

the white on simplynoise would increase my stress levels, I think. So hissy

brown!

Nice, milo. I could live with that, though the desk fan that blows on my face all night is pretty good, too. Until the fan death.

is fan death when the fan dies or when you die from having the fan on all night and it steals your soul or whatever that supposedly does to you?

I prefer brown over white noise.

Grey noise is pretty sweet

anyone fuck around w/ this?

http://www.macstories.net/stories/editorial-for-ipad-review/

right now i have iawriter on my ipad, which i don't really use, although i think it's a minimal thing v. this which, w/ python shit and all, is not

iawriter is really really good if you want to hook up yr bluetooth keyboard to yr phone - you basically get a full screen notetaking app that syncs with your computer/s.

I just take my keyboard and phone to the library or if I've got serious travel these days and use that combination.

if drafts had the same full screen option, I wd be v v happy.

Iawriter fan here too, never thought I'd get used to it but I can write articles with it now on my iPad. Editorial looks next level awesomeness!

ok that review of editorial is insanely long. it lets you type text and shows it to you right. also i guess scripting?

maybe he doesn't need a better text editor, but just you know a better editor, huh.

i lold

This Markdown shit needs to go away now UIKit has proper rich text editing. Export in it, sure, and offer it for markup nerds, but it shouldn't be the default option in every damn thing like it's the only true way to write.

MacWrite was bolding shit in 1984, we're beyond *this* now.

__whatever__

it always cheers me up when I see Grubes fucking (up)[a link] in his own damn markup

i just started using markdown today, as it happens

mark down the date

I want a simple, minimal timer that lets me create several custom labeled timer presets (i.e. a 30-minute preset called "Lunch break")

this is so simple! it must exist!

if it doesn't that is a potential goldmine

lol I found 3 free ones; will review and report back!!

Xpost

It's called Timer+. It's free. Search for "timer" on the App Store, and it's the first item that comes up.

that is one of the ones!! there are others that go the "pretty" route (like Clear) but idk if they're any decent.

isn't clear a todo list app, not a timer?

yes but what I mean is that it's a v simple app that is extremely pretty and thoughtfully designed and intuitive

I'm digging the Duolingo language learning app! Very cool.

Duolingo is awesome!!

The Doctor Who Mazes of Time app is pretty damn neat. I'm actually considering buying the full game!

I'm in the "iPhone cases are for disgusting savages" camp but the ones with holes in them that go with the 5c are kinda stylish.

I have one of these stuck to the outside of the case on my iPhone and it's awesome.

When I saw those new 5c covers my first thought was of all the fluff and bits which would get stuck in the holes while it rattled around in my handbag.
