I don't understand the "type _ with your eyes closed" challenges. Are you ALL exclusive phone users or were you just never taught to touch type?? I'm on a keyboard and I typed this whole post with my eyes closed. Just for fun.
#I understand if it's the phone thing but if you're on PC how#how do you not eventually just sort of internalize the layout of the keyboard?#even if you haven't or can't they still have the bumps on the f and j keys for this exact purpose#it's blind accessibility so idk how it's hard for anyone to type with their eyes closed. on a computer#wdym you don't just know where all the letters/numbers/symbols are instinctively#if my eyes are closed sometimes I will still make a typo but I can immediately feel that I made a typo and correct it#it's not like I type everything while staring at the keyboard. in fact right now I am watching a video#I never even properly learned in school btw they gave everyone machines and told me tough luck when mine broke#thoughts

*tears streaming down my face*
I ... did it. ... I wrote something. There is relief in my soul.Â
Here is my continuation of @gracieinanovelâs Wedding Planner AU, because I love it and I needed to join in. :)Â
Cora belongs to her, of course.Â
Sutton froze over the table, fingers reaching, and Cora wasnât sure if the woman had meant to try and flee the room or attempt strangling her. Her face was blooming the most vibrant red, and it appeared it took some effort to remove her tongue from the roof of her mouth.Â
âSteve!â Sutton finally managed to squeak. âHi. Iâm- Iâm good. You? I mean, how have you been?â
âGood. Good.â
Cora almost felt bad about springing this on her. Almost. But if Sutton had gone the entirety of her Paris trip without contacting Steve, then this was on her. She obviously needed a push.Â
Steve still looked morose and longing as he shifted further into the room. It must have still been raining, because he looked just as wet as Cora did coming in.Â
âPerhaps Steve would like a drink?â Cora prompted.Â
Sutton jumped at the direction and opportunity to have something to do.Â
âRight; of course! I have some coffee. Coffee good?âÂ
There was a coffee pot behind the counter; it was still half full and probably should be either poured out or drank before it burned.Â
âDo you want a sweet too,â she called out over pouring a mug. âI have a new cupcake-âÂ
âOh, just coffee is fine. Thank you.â
Steve rubbed his hand through his wet hair and pulled a chair over to their table. Suttonâs expression flickered before settling back on a forced smile.Â
âOk.âÂ
Cora internally groaned.Â
Watching them interact was like watching two junior highers dance around each other. Sheâd thought after Steveâs confession things would move forward between them, but Suttonâs doubts about his sincerity and then her internship felt like itâd dragged them three steps back again.Â
But there was time for the both of them later. Cora reorganized the paperwork sheâd brought and brushed a lock of hair behind her ear. This was still a business meeting, after all.
They ought to get something done.
Sutton sat awkwardly between Steve and Cora, unable to scoot her chair away from him without being obvious, and she passed over his mug as she cleared her throat.Â
âSo, you probably know who the wedding is for.â
âI might,â he said. âBut I might have also signed a non-disclosure.â
Both Cora and Sutton groaned in response.Â
âI suppose that just leaves us to figure out the details,â Cora relented. âSo, which rooms will we be using, and what are our times?â
They discussed timing and plans and room ambiance. The wedding ceremony was going to be held on the main balcony overlooking the bay, with plenty of twinkling lights and foliage covering the space. The reception would be held in the estates most lavish room, fondly referred to as The Fondue Room due to the high rental costs.Â
Eventually, one of them yawned and they noticed the time. The rain had pittered to a spitting mist and the moon rose higher. Sutton collected their empty mugs while Cora collected her files.
âWell, thatâs more progress,â she said, forced cheer in her voice.Â
Steve and Sutton both nodded, sneaking a look at each other before turning away again quickly.Â
âI guess weâll see each other at the wedding.â Sutton glanced between the pair, rubbing nervously at her sore knuckles. âUnless Fury gives you a free moment before then,â she added hopefully, directed towards Cora.
âOh, I wish, but Iâm afraid I canât count on it.â Cora smiled ruefully. âYou know how Fury is, and with this wedding booked heâs been more frantic than usual. Obviously, because Iâm here at this time of night.â
Sutton looked disappointed, but not surprised.Â
âIâm telling you,â she said, âyou have to start your own business. Youâve got the talent for it, and itâs probably the only way youâll get your freedom.âÂ
Cora made a face and shrugged.
âI donât know,â she said. âAt the rate Iâm working, anyway, itâd be impossible to find the time.âÂ
Steve cleared his throat and Sutton finally looked at him, shifting on her feet.Â
âIt, uh, was nice seeing you again too. Steve.âÂ
âYeah. Youâll have to tell me about your trip sometime.âÂ
âRight, sure!â
Cora winced, but luckily the expression went unnoticed by the other two. She and Steve exited together and Sutton bid them both a goodnight, locking up before moving through the shop to prep for another early morning.Â
The quiet night air settled around them and Steve let out a long sigh as he ran his hand through his hair again.Â
âWell,â he said, âthat⊠happened.âÂ
Cora placed a hand on his arm.Â
âHey, everything is going to work out.â
âThree months,â he said. âI just- is it because we-?â
âWhat? Went on one date?â Cora laughed lightly. âSteve, please. Sutton can just be a nervous person. She thinks-â
At her pause Steve looked over, his eyes prompting her to continue, and Cora shook her head.Â
âYou both will have to talk if you want this worked out. Now, I better get at least a couple hours of sleep before Fury decides to blow my phone up again. Iâll see you at the wedding.âÂ
Steve sighed and dug in his pocket for his keys.Â
âDrive safe,â he said.Â
He waited until Cora was in her car with the doors locked before he started up his own car. Their headlights disappeared into the night and the low lights in the bakery popped off shortly afterwards.
[]
The bell in the shop rung as Sutton pushed open the door to Bannerâs Botanicals; the smell of soil and fragrant flowers were heady in the air.Â
âIâll be one moment!â
âTake your time, Bruce.â
A head of dark wavy hair popped up from behind a shelving unit holding some sort of flowering cacti, and Sutton reached her hand up to wave.
âLong time, no see. Not going to lie. I thought you were really done for good this time.â
Bruce Banner pushed around some nearby ferns as he made his way to the front of the shop.Â
âHey Sutton,â he said. âSo did I. But apparently I can still be coerced.âÂ
He frowned at that, and Sutton suppressed a wry smile. Bruce could be stubborn, sure, but he was also a bit of a peacekeeper. It took quite a bit to actually get him to explode.Â
âIâm guessing they at least werenât asking for lil-â âDonât.â He cut in sharply. âDonât mention the lilies.â
Sutton held her hands up in surrender and chuckled.Â
âOk. But I would like to see what they did ask for. Iâm supposed to incorporate some floral aspects into their cake.âÂ
He sent her a look before letting out a breath of air and waving her to follow him to the back of the shop.Â
âYou and Cora,â he said. âYou know thereâs a thing called email? You can attach pictures? Or maybe even use google?â
âSure,â said Sutton. âBut this gets us out of our offices for a bit. And anyway, isnât technology just ruining face-to-face interactions?âÂ
Bruce rolled his eyes.
The further back in the shop, the more expensive the plants got. And for a man whoâd sworn to only work with succulents from now on, he sure had a selection of flowers at his disposal.Â
âThe bride wanted whimsical but elegant,â he said. âAnd for once, there was even a list of suggestions to work from. We decided on white wisteria, some assorted peonies, and a few gardenias sprinkled throughout. And greenery, of course. Iâm thinking mostly ferns. Probably some Israeli Ruscus.â
Sutton ooh-ed over the samples and took out her phone to get some pictures. His selection of plants were second-to-none. No doubt that was the reason this mystery couple chose him. And they certainly had some cash on them, because he was making an example bouquet as well.Â
âCan I get a few small samples to take back? Are you still selling individual stems?â
âDo you have any samples?â
Bruce flashed her a cheeky grin and Sutton returned it.Â
âAll my friends are opportunists,â she lamented. Still, she pulled a small paper box out of her purse and taunted him with it. âI thought you might like some inspiration as well.âÂ
They exchanged goods, one looking a tad more excited than the other. Sutton sighed as she eyed the delicate petals and the complicated layering of the wisteria.Â
âI might be ordering some of these from you. Their order expressly stated little to no fondant on the cake. And these?â
She made a tsk-ing sound against her teeth and shook her head. Bruce spared her a pitying glance until he looked back to his set of cupcakes, and grinned.Â
âAt least you know they have good taste. Fondant is gross.â
Sutton raised a stern pointer finger as she sucked in a breath.
âOk, listen-âÂ
[]
Cora nibbled at her bottom lip as she used a spare, quiet moment to do some personal research. It wasnât that this particular wedding was giving her an odd feeling, sheâd worked a few weddings that had demanded discretion, but generally she could accurately guess who it was for.Â
There wasnât anything in the celebrity gossip tabloids that mentioned possible weddings coming up, no matter how thoroughly she looked. Boo. She supposed sheâd just have to wait for the big day to find out the big secret. She pouted and drummed her fingers on her laptop as the digging stopped at a dead end.Â
Her notebook was just to the left of her computer and she could see that name amongst the rest of her notes.Â
Loki Laufeyson.
She still didnât understand how one person couldâve garnered such a negative reaction out of Sutton, and so far she hadnât had the opportunity to really pry into why. Cora cocked one eyebrow and tilted her head as her fingers danced over her keyboard.
Well, she still had a moment. Why not look?
His website was sleek and clean, with accents of dark green and gold adding a sense of wealth and elegance to the layout. He was the sort of wedding coordinator that you had to call to ask about his rates, which generally meant the average person shouldnât even bother.Â
From his gallery, it seemed heâd been involved in some high profile weddings and other various events. Cora hummed. There wasnât anything that she could glean from his about page to give her any hints.
Even if he was wildly arrogant and obnoxious, Sutton probably would have just said he was a character, or annoying.Â
âAre you sitting? At a time like this?â
Cora jumped at Furyâs voice as he swept into the room, camera bags and a tripod precariously cradled in his arms.Â
âDo you know how many jobs we have to complete? Thereâs the party on the seventeenth, the charity event coming up, and that mo-â
âYes,â Cora cut in. âThe wedding, I know.â She hopped up and closed her notebook, gathering all her things and making herself busy. âI have everything under control, sir.â
Fury shot her a piercing look, which was always impressive given he only had one eye.Â
âUnder control isnât good enough. This wedding could be what really launches this business into the public eye. Everything has to be perfect. Which is why youâre going to meet up with that Laufeyson and get all the details sorted out. Got it?â
Cora wanted to give him a flippant salute, but she still did need the paycheck. Instead, she grit her teeth behind closed lips and forced a smile.Â
âCrystal clear, sir.âÂ
Well, perhaps sheâd get some answers about this guy sooner than she thought.

Appleâs Software Chief Details How iOS Apps Will Run on Macs
Near the end of yesterdayâs WWDC theme, Craig Federighi, Appleâs elderly vice president of software engineering, to be recognised that beings have been asking for a long time whether Apple âwouldve beenâ merge the iPhone and Mac operating systems. His short answer? âNo.â The word âNoâ appeared in giant white-hot letters on the enormou screen behind him. Within hours, screenshots of the âNoâ had colonized Twitter, some with memes attached. Except, that âNoâ should have had an asterisk after it, because while Apple still plans to ship two different operating systemsâone for portable, one for desktopâthe company has been working on generating iOS apps to Mac hardware. In an exclusive interview with WIRED, Federighi said the frameworks for porting iPhone and iPad apps to the Mac have been in development for two years. He revealed some of the technical details around how this will work, and shared some of the types of iOS apps he concludes make sense on the Mac. Federighi was also dismissive of touchscreen laptopsâa make category that would seem like a natural addition to being able to Appleâs line once laptops begin running touch-first portable apps. Double Standard The point of this is not to create a single unified OS, Federighi said. But the fact that Apple spoke frankly about an initiative designed that could arrive as late as a year from now is a clear nod to how the tech monstrou sees the future of apps. It also says something about the health of the Macâs App Store, which has tens of thousands of apps but remains dwarfed by the the mobile App Store, which boasts millions of apps. Behind the backgrounds, Apple has been building implements third-party developers can use to port their apps from iOS to MacOS with what Federighi claims will be minimal effort. At WWDC on Monday, Apple said some of its homegrown iOS apps, including Home, Stocks, News, and Voice Memos, expected to be available afterward this year on MacOS Mojave, the next explanation of MacOS. On the surface, it seems obvious that Apple might establish some of its own apps available across different platforms. But behind the scenes, Apple has been building tools third-party developers can eventually use to port their own apps from iOS to MacOS with what Federighi contends will be minimal effort. Apple began such an initiative around two summers ago, and its own internal software engineers ought to have beta testing the tools. These four iOS apps for Mac are the products of that testing. These struggles had been rumored before. Bloomberg reported at the end of last year that Apple was working on some kind of solution to let app makers build a single app that could run across both iOS and MacOS. But there were still a matter of how these multi-platform apps would be developed and how specific interactions would work; exploiting an iPhone touchscreen vary between exerting a mouse on on a Mac, for example. Native Tongues At a high level, Federighi describes what Apple is doing as fetching an iPhone software framework over to Mac and inducing it native to Mac, rather than employing some type of simulator or emulator. Both iOS and MacOS share a common kernel and have common initiates of frameworks for events like graphics, audio, and layout exhibition. But over go, each platform has derived differently. The most important and most well-known framework is UIKit, but that was built for iOS practice back at the start and wasnât designed to address mouse and keyboard holds.

For app makers, some aspects of app porting will be automated and others will require additional coding.

App makes may have to do some extra coding, though, around acts like menus and sidebars in apps, such as making a Mac app sidebar translucent or uttering share buttons a part of the toolbar. Even though the apps are effectively being shared between operating system, Federighi has been suggested that your Mac wonât start reacting like an iPhone. âItâs still MacOS, you still have the Terminal, you are able to append four monitors to it, you can still hook up external drives, â he said.
