2024

It is unbelievable how bad macOS is at dealing with network shares after all these years… Well, maybe not unbelievable, but definitely inexcusable!

It is absolutely nuts you can install PWAs with iOS Safari… but not on macOS. “Unique” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

2023

80% of the time spent thinking about my online presence occurs between Christmas and New Years

The joy at finding another person you used to follow on the very dead-and-buried social media platform has established new roots somewhere else. May it happen more and more often!

I have two websites that I haven’t needed to touch in 6 years. I just tried to update the support address from Twitter to Mastodon, only to find that the site no longer builds or deploys. The tech stack is ancient and I’m assuming some of the libraries might not be available anymore at the versions they were pinned at.

Is it easier to re-implement in a modern stack or try to patch together what is there? I think the latter, then if that fails tackle the former – but the former is more tempting than it has any right to be.

Going to give myself a challenge: on the days I’m on the train heading into the city, I will write a post or two (at least the days like today where I get a seat). Minimum 30 minutes per train ride, I should be able to get the fingers flowing (assuming motion sickness doesn’t strike — riding backwards certainly doesn’t help). Cellular iPad for the win.
