2022
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.

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.

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

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

I’ve stopped trying to customise the icons on my iPhone Home Screen. It’s too awkward and feels fragile once you’ve set something up (yes, including Shortcuts).
When I see comments from people who haven’t realised that a photo they’re looking at is years-old, and my first thought is “well because this was clearly taken years ago, just look at it”… that’s when I realise I should invest much more energy into photography.
I never realised Write.as was doing so much… look at all that. It’s so good to see blogging and social network alternatives being so fully developed.
… wait, you can do private blogs and private commenting? Wow.
The other life-long hobby that has recently come to a halt: football.
From playing when I was younger, to full-on enthusiast bordering on pursuing a career (as a writer), much like video games it would have been a big part of my life.
But not anymore. Again, weird.
I’ve played video games for… 3 decades? At least? Most of my life.
That has gradually slowed over the past couple of years, and now since moving last summer I have not played a single big game. You know, the intense ones that demand all of your energy.
Feels weird, and good.
One of my favourite Micro.bloggers returned and I totally missed it:

Mac App Store not showing updates when one my most used apps does in fact have an update. Thanks Apple.
