Writing an email

Wireless Carriers

macOS Tip: Hide the Desktop
![An icon-free desktop.](https://wp.anli.dev/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Screen-Shot-2021-02-25-at-12.04.07.png)
Found this great tutorial on how to temporarily hide the icons on your macOS desktop. I’ve used it several times, so I thought I’d share it here.
In a nutshell:
# Hide icons
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop false
killall Finder
# Unhide icons
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop true
killall Finder
This is quite useful for making your desktop a little bit cleaner while screen sharing. It also doubles as a potential prank…
A Thing That Happened II
Continuing on from the previous post in the series.

I’ll be frank with you, I have no idea what happened.
The Notes Archive
This is something I’ve wanted to do for quite a while. My site now has an archive of many of my notes from BCA!

Hopefully this will be helpful to those who might need a review for class, are absent for extended periods of time, or just want to check them out.
Note that while I take notes in nearly all of my classes, some classes may be missing; only notes that meet my standards for neatness are on this site. (you do not want to see my other notes – they’re far too messy.)
Check it out here! It’ll be continually updated.

GameStop
