&lt;p&gt;G&amp;rsquo;day, I&amp;rsquo;m &lt;a href="https://www.fieggen.com/"&gt;Ian Fieggen&lt;/a&gt;, better known as &amp;ldquo;Professor Shoelace&amp;rdquo;. I&amp;rsquo;ve spent the past couple of decades compiling an unexpectedly large amount of information about shoelaces – particularly how to lace them and tie them – and presenting it in an informative and hopefully entertaining manner via various means, including printed handouts, bulletin boards, my &lt;a href="https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/index.htm"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/iansbook_buynow.php"&gt;book&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ProfessorShoelace"&gt;videos&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/connect.htm"&gt;social media&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianslacesapp.htm"&gt;smartphone apps&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="what-software-hardware-and-other-gear-do-you-use"&gt;What software, hardware, and other gear do you use?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As someone who literally lives on a shoestring, I rely on a bunch of old tools that still do the job. I only recently retired my 20-year-old PC that was running Windows XP, upgrading to a 10-year-old PC running Windows 8 (which I inherited from my Dad). This allows me to continue running most of my old graphics software, such as an ancient copy of Adobe Suite (circa 2000) that cost me well over a thousand bucks. I think I&amp;rsquo;ve just about got my money&amp;rsquo;s worth out of that investment!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
