Are there any good #iOS #json and #xml editors on the App Store? I don’t want a “converter”. What do people use? Yes, I know I can use a text editor. Thx

Decaf coffee finally kicking in this morning.

Woot. I can tunnel into my Pi at home. At least that works. I can play around with Rust a bit later.

I really wish Apple would come out with their own keyboard for the iPad mini-a full sized collapsible one. This cheap knockoff works but is painful. #ipad

Today is an accomplish-nothing day. Ditto today for tomorrow.

I just arrived at BWI for the Baltimore Pen Show. Waiting for it to open up. I need another cup of coffee this morning. #fountainpen

Good morning world. Stay on course. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Ha! I found it. On the Mac it’s at : ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books but it only shows up if you’ve opened the book on the Mac. There is also a plist/metadata file. Half the problem solved… #apple $books

I’m digging around the Apple Books thing. It looks like books you purchase from the Apple book store aren’t stored locally, unlike things which you import into Books which are. Grrr! This is like DRM… And if they are stored locally, they are well hidden… #books #apple #failure

Do people still read or write farces? What are some good ones? Not interested in “Confederacy of Dunces” which always comes up. #writing $books

In the US there is a phone number you can call to check your zip code.~ A lot of old forgotten stars promote it almost every commercial break. If you don’t know your zip code you have serious problems.

Prepping for the Baltimore Pen Show tomorrow. Don’t have anything I need. Just going to browse and see what jumps at me. #fountainpen

Happy Mario Day

Hello. Stop trying to change the world. Time for the ceremonial coffee.
