This is how Ice Ages start…

Redundant error message message is redundant. #ios

The air hung low and heavy, smelling of old burnt gym socks.

Smoke on the water in Maryland. Canadian smoke. Guess no bike rides this vacation.

Have I told you, I hate XCode? This is today’s mysterioius error message. #xcode #failure

Why XCode? Why every connect to device on launch? How does anyone actually get any work done with XCode? #xcode #failure

Working on my MicroProjects idea. It’s using my TinyDB library, which I’m also working on at the same time. #ios #tinydb

Today The Gathering got a visitor that we don’t see often, Spot. #cat

WARNING: Bartender app on Mac.

What the? I got a dialog from Barttender and then it started sharing my screen. Why ? There isn’t even a setting for that function. Deinstalling Bartender. I realize Bartender is using some accessibility features, but screen sharing? #mac #bartender #failure #security

I don’t hate many things. I really hate XCode. This is the latest hurdle. It took 10 whole minutes to tell me it failed. #xcode #failure #ios

Hm. Markdown support only works with literal strings, not variables? #ios #text #swifui #markdown

Today’s writing instruments.

@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
