@help @manton Just got this on the web.

Happy Justice for Janitors Day. It’s also Magna Carta Day. Janitors apparently had to clean up after the Magna Carta celebration.

@Manton I’m passing an ID in the ISBN field, and the URL of a generic free clipart book image. It seems to work. Amazon wanted me to pay a ton for accesss to their API on AWS. Side question. I’m trying to use Epilogue for the first time. I never get an email to log in. Same one works …

I’m using the API to add some books. A lot are Kindle and have no ISBN. I think that’s causing the issues on my bookshelf. The “default” religious book cover is wrong—you should use a generic cover instead. Also, what’s the logic behind not allowing images in replies? @manton @help

Nice. The new MBA adapter has two ports. #apple

Time to switch it up. My backup pen ran out of ink. Jinhao 159 Orange (F) with Noodlers North African Violet. #fountainpen

Reminders now has a save as template functionality. So you can create a Kanban template and have a Kanban for each project. #wwdc #kanban #reminders

This is cool! I just played around with Reminders app in iOS 17. Look what I was able to make. Reminders is even more powerful now. #ios #wwdc #notes

Time to switch it up. 3D printed 1.1mm with Colorverse Stars and Stripes #fountainpen

Another example of Shakespaerean era words. “Boarding” comes from the wooden plank, or board on which you entered a vessel. We also come by “chairman of the board”, “board game”, and other such words from the same origin. #writing

Gratuitouss fish taco pic.

I wonder if forks have instructions in other countries.

Yeah, well. This isn’t good. #air

The cursor I hate. #wwdc

The new predictive typing model on the Mac is good. When you type there is a faded set of possible future words and phrases that you can accept as soon as it pops up, just by hitting enter. If you type fast, it’s easy to miss. I hope autocorrect has also gotten a facelift. #wwdc #typing

This still hasn’t been fixed. Raising the iPad over my head still doesn’t work. #wwdc

Is this new in Safari on iOS/iPadOS, or have I been blind? #wwdc

Nothing new in the camera app. #wwdc

This is new in SwiftUI apps. At least in mine. #wwdc #ui

The new iPad Health app looks great #iPados

I seriously hate XCode. Even the new beta is still borked. How can people test on a device? Every device I own fails to launch. #xcode #wwdc #failure

I guess I’ll have to wait a bit longer for the developer goodies… as usual. #wwdc
