Finally, an emoji I understand: 🫤

Micro.boot

There’s a major update to Nova, mostly because the folks at Panic clearly knew that @vincent needed to be tested by a distraction 😂

oh no my nft 🥲

The Themes and Plugins Panel from yesterday is great. Loved seeing a well-deserved mention for @custom.

The quality of Micro Camp: my podcast-listening habit of simultaneous work is utterly defeated. If I have to do something whilst watching a Micro Camp video, I must first pause the video because the discussions require all of my attention.

All killer, no filler. 😎

I’ve been ill for the past couple of weeks, and it sucks. It’s fair to say this move was a lot more difficult than I was initially willing to admit.

At this point I’m trying to do as much as I can in the time that I have, and hope that is enough for our life to improve.

One of the reasons web feed tech is so good: reliability.

My site currently doesn’t work in the browser (yay experimenting!) but the RSS feed does. So whether with a feed reader or via Micro.blog apps, my posts are still available.

Enjoy Micro Camp everybody! 🎉

I can’t make it this time but I hope to be available for the next one.

The last item of a batch of adaptations has just been installed. A big step completed in making the new place a better home, much to my relief. 💪

It’s nice to see that Apple is interested in making good computers again.

“Putin the disruptor”

The BBC with a lesson in how to be spineless.

Apple are going to announce the Classical subscription at this event aren’t they.

Glass for iPad looks pretty damn good

The list of strong reasons for replacing the device I sold (to help fund the move) is only growing.

Also, how cool is to see the folks at Glass outline the significant updates they’ve made in the 6 months since launch.

Made the mistake of watching a few minutes of this video on the new iMac in 4K 60FPS HDR… and now I really want a PS5 and compliant TV 😬

Chatbots as replacements for human customer service agents should be made illegal.

Just used the Doppler Transfer app for the first time. Almost 800 songs and no problems, over Wi-Fi.

That’s me done with the Music app for playback.

Next steps:

• manually transfer iTunes Store wishlist;
• find as many alternatives to iTunes Store as possible;
• remove Music app.

It is the year 2022 and Siri still thinks fifty is fifteen.

Turning over my egg-timer 13 times would be less painful.

I mean, you could just talk.

– Ian Hislop absolutely nailing the pointless nature of Twitter

Specifically, as a space to convene and discuss serious issues? We’re past time for everybody to stop pretending like that’s a good idea.

Reminder:

It is not our job to arbitrate the status of our species. You do nothing but waste your life by making shallow declarations of how “terrible” society is.

Focus on your specific job. On the work that will help, that will construct, that will only enrich life.

Middle Earth | Rivendell - Music & Ambience

More time travel. Only now I have something to accompany me whilst working on @TIL.

Doug Theme Live - Fred Newman and Dan Sawyer

Time travel is real.

As well as The West Wing becoming an elusive animal of the wilds, the final season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is still not available in the UK.

So, basically, all of this streaming stuff is useless because of idiotic business people.

I’m ready to abandon streaming.

The irony of not being able to buy the box set of The West Wing digitally, or currently stream it in my country, and the show includes this glorious line of dialogue:

Just saw a clip of the Kanye doc.

1. I’m going to watch this thing as soon as I can.
2. Seeing him play All Falls Down and being ignored to his face makes me feel further motivation to keep working.
