There is a phrase in cooking called “mise en place”. In short, having everything organized and prepared in the right place, in the right quantities ahead of time so that, when it comes time to start actually COOKING, you’re not spending time still prepping. In cooking, and in my daily work, [...]

Had a good comment on a previous post asking for status on Nucleo Pro 2 for AE CS4.  Here’s the skinny…
