Finished reading: The Tommyknockers by Stephen King 📚
A very long novel with some good parts in it. Gripping, sometimes absurd but self-aware. I like the mix of horror and science fiction. Also, was inspired to practice soldiering and repaired my son’s toy vacuum cleaner.
I have shipped LinkEdit 1.1 today. And there’s a blog post.
I have created a new blog to separate personal stuff from information about apps I am building. Subscribe to Cocoa Productions blog via RSS.
Finally, I can run Jekyll locally, either my skills have improved or the Jekyll setup became easier.
I watched the last 10-15 minutes of the World Cup thinking that the white-teal uniform is French. This is how much I know about sports.
This single story pays off for all the effort which went into iOS 16 emergency features. Amazing example how crash detection works in a tandem with satellite calling — Couple in Car Survive 300-Foot Fall Into a California Canyon - The New York Times

Mastodon users celebrate the fact that the platform has no ads and it’s hard to integrate ads if you want them. I hope they will figure this out, but the lack of sustainability discussion concerns me.

Why Safari’s toolbar buttons are grey and almost every extension I tried offers a button with their own custom blue colour. It looks awful and it is the reason I don’t add any third-party buttons to the toolbar.

I am going back to the existing Micro.blog iOS app, it’s so much smoother, faster and enjoyable than Electron beta. @manton try downloading it from the App Store now over you TestFligt beta and you will know what I mean.
Nintendo Switch Year in Review. This year I started and finished Breath of the Wild. 🎮
What I like about Micro.blog is the sustainable business model. Mastodon server expenses have to be substantial. Especially when more people will start uploading photos and videos. How is this going to be funded?
Web devs, remove “share” social buttons form your website. There are faster and more private ways to share content, e.g. “sharrow”.
I added a diagram for my previous post about Micro.blog and Mastodon.

Doing some testing with Mastodon, and it looks like I can follow Mastodon users through Micro.blog, however, Mastodon users won’t be able to see any of the content which I post here. I am not sure I am happy with this.
Signed up for Mastodon. A bit confused about what server to use, currently have 2: hachyderm.io and Micro.blog.
LinkEdit 1.1 – all feature work has been finished, and unit tests are passing. Now testing the app manually and fixing any bugs I can find.
Early Christmas treat, will be using them as TV speakers.
In 1Password 8 for iOS you can change the default tap action for pinned items. Great option, which will save me many seconds.
First day of the holiday. Have to pick up Christmas presents today. I have to finish working on LinkEdit 1.1 by the end of next week. Planning to play a lot of Divinity Original Sin 2 during this month. 🎮
I bought Amazon Basic USB-C to USB-C cable to keep in my bag for occasional MacBook Pro charging. I have a feeling it charges much slower than thicker Apple cable.
Good news from UK. Free coffee is back at Waitrose. 🇬🇧☕️
Done a lot of work on my Mac app – LinkEdit. I am working on a big 1.1 update which uses two-column NavigationSplitView. Also rewriting critical parts of the app to improve text editing performance.
Friday baking, planning to cool paella tonight.
