I loaded my Twitter archive into my blog. Haven’t decided if I’m going to delete all my tweets from Twitter, or delete my Twitter account entirely, or maybe just leave everything. Dunno. 11-07

America Defeats America 11-07

Since upgrading to macOS Sequoia, Google Drive has been constantly using 40% CPU. Nothing to sync, nothing to update, just idle, 40% CPU. 09-20

The new Reeder reminds me the original Google Reader and the “river of news”. The idea wasn’t to read everything, it was to dip into and out of the river as it was happening. 09-06

I’m really liking the new Reeder (currently in TestFlight). It’s still very barebones, but even so, it’s pretty amazing. 08-23

I love the Hide My Email feature of iCloud+, I use it all the time. It’s nice to sign up for something and if I start to get unsolicited email at that address, I can just delete it. 07-08

One of my favourite things about Mastodon is being able to follow hashtags. 06-19

AI Search is Going Well 05-24

For the first time I used Safari’s “Listen to page” feature to listen to an article while I cleaned up the kitchen. It was pretty great! 05-13

I expect to see a bunch of “the iPhone is powerful enough” takes in September when the new iPhone is launched. 05-10

Remember before the Vision Pro was released there were rumours about using Siri to develop apps for VisionOS. Given how well generative AI can be at programming and all the chatter about Apple’s AI efforts this year, I wonder if we’ll see something around that at this year’s #WWDC. 05-05

This whole YouTube, AppleTV, screensaver thing really pisses me off. Why the fuck does Google think I want to see some random bullshit from YouTube rather than my photos on the screen as a screensaver!? 04-26

Facebook Notifications 04-11

The #eclipse was pretty amazing. Completely overcast, but when totality happened, everything went dark, like all of a sudden it was the middle of the night. At the horizon it looked like sunset. 04-08

My family and I ate a reasonable amount of chocolate this weekend, which is to say a copious amount! 04-01

I hate daylight saving time… 03-10

Looking forward to the time when I have to explain to my in-laws that in order to install that app that they want on their iPhone they’ll have to download and sign up for the Facebook App Store, oh, but not that Facebook App Store, that’s a fake one. But this is all good and better because it’s more open now and you have more choice. Yes, you’ll have to give your credit card information to the Facebook App Store before you can download that free app. 01-26

This just seems dumb to me, but I guess to each their own. 01-05

We finished the first season of The Wheel of Time and have started working our way through the second. I really like it, hopefully there’s a third season coming. 12-31

Some things I think Apple’s new Journal app needs: macOS and iPadOS support - the iPhone is fine for short, quick entries, but I want to be able to use a keyboard for those longer entries. Weather information - I like capturing the weather with my entires, temperature, conditions, they just add a bit to the memory. Export capabilities - Some way of getting the entries out of the app. Even something as basic as save to PDF would be enough for me. 12-18

Been playing a lot of #Destiny2 since the new season launched. The new coil activity is a lot of fun. Think I’ll play some #BaldursGate3 this weekend though, I want to progress my Dark Urge playthrough. 12-16

Competed Warload’s Ruin, the new dungeon in #Destiny2 yesterday, loads of fun. 12-03

All the fuss about opening up iMessage doesn’t make sense to me. Is the messaging situation on android so bad that it needs governments to intervene? 11-27

I’ve removed #Twitter from my social links above, I’m so done with that site. 11-22

Finished my first play through of #BaldursGate3 and holy shit was that a good game! 11-07

Got our #covid and #flu shots this weekend 💪🏼 💉 11-06

Manage iCloud Email Rules on iOS 11-01

The sounds in #BaldursGate3 are amazing. The voice acting, the music, but especially the spells, they feel powerful and substantial ☄️ 10-07

I wish I could play #BaldursGate3 on my iPad. I think the game would lend itself very well to a touch interface. 09-28

Remember when Google’s motto was don’t be evil? Now their latest initiatives are to slurp up as much data as possible to train their generative AI, track the websites their users visit to package up and provide to advertisers, and allow websites to refuse to load content if they don’t like something running on the user’s computer. 09-13

Love seeing console level games on iPhone. I want to be able to play #BaldursGate3 on my iPad, so seeing this gives me hope. #AppleEvent 09-12

Chrome is the new IE 09-09

Bought #BaldursGate3 on MacOS assuming it was coming out Sep 6. When I found out it wasn’t coming out until later in Sep I decided I’d wait to play until the full game was released. Well, today I decided to just play around in the character creator, then I started playing the starting mission, and man, I just wish the full game was released for Mac already! 09-08

I’d love for #AppleNotes to get #markdown support. Maybe next year 🤞🏼 07-21

Some thoughts on Apple’s New Vision Pro 06-11

Not as much smoke today as the past few days. Not sure how long it’ll last. 06-09

I wouldn’t buy a new car without #CarPlay to begin with, but if GM’s iOS app is any indication of their future infotainment systems, they have a long way to go! The app is just terrible. 06-04

I’ve been using tab groups and have the sidebar always showing in Safari and it has changed the way I get things done. #Safari #MacOS #iOS #iPadOS 05-30

#Reeder is by far my favourite iOS/iPadOS #RSS reader. I love that it can use my iCloud account to sync rather than relying on a 3rd party service. 03-09

I wish there was a way to trigger an #iOS #shortcut when my phone disconnected from a Bluetooth device. 03-08

I’ve been enjoying #Destiny2 #Lightfall. The story isn’t perfect, but strand is a lot of fun, and I’m really enjoying the ramped up difficulty. 03-06

I love all my guardians equally 02-24

What is going on here?! 02-23

I converted some of my Twitter lists into RSS feeds using rss.app so I can keep up with Twitter without actually being on Twitter. 01-16

Finished watching season 1 of #SlowHorses last night, excellent show! Will probably start season 2 tonight. 01-14

I think I might get the new 12.9” iPad Pro. My iPad Air 2 is definitely showing its age. 10-19

Been reading Snow Crash on and off for a while now. I’m about 75% of the way through it 📚 10-11

Lightfall looks awesome, strand looks amazing, and season of plunder looks like loads of fun! #destiny 08-23

Received my 4th #covid shot today. 08-12

Adding HomeKit to my garage door has been one of the most useful HomeKit additions to my house. 07-30

I started reading Paper Girls when I heard there was a show coming out in a few weeks. I had it on my list of comics to read for a while. Really enjoying it so far. 06-14

Posting with iOS Shortcuts 05-06

I think I have this quick post shortcut where I want it. Titleless doesn’t really work with Hugo, so I’ve settled on a timestamp format I think I’m happy with. 05-06
