I’m refactoring some code I wrote six months ago and while I know I should, I’m finding it very difficult to want to write new tests for the additional code.

I didn’t realise until I saw a poster this morning that 2018 is the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Meiji Era. That I could go until June not realising this is a good prompt that I’ve been neglecting reading any Japanese news.
The Siri shortcuts stuff announced at WWDC was the most interesting thing to me. I’m not sure how good this approach is but it’s preferable to only a narrow domain of intents.
I’m worried the reason there’s not been much that’s leaked in respect of WWDC is that there’s not much they’re going to say. Hopefully this is wrong.
I wrote a post breaking down an evening as a parent. I always feel like I’m doing things too slowly but the truth is I have no idea how long they should take.
Shea Serrano gets at it. The reason the success of the Warriors isn’t fun to watch is KD.
I may have said this already but that’s simply additional proof that it’s difficult to overstate how bad the 1Blocker X icon is.
I’ve finally given up trying to use Apple Maps as my default mapping app. The proverbial straw for me has been the inconsistency with which it will send directions to my Watch. I don’t know what’s precisely at fault there (I suspect the Watch) but I also don’t care.
This is some incredible basketball.
Finally completely the mobile number portability process for my wife’s number only to realise that her phone is locked. I am an idiot.
While we’re all talking about Bond themes can I be the hundredth person to point out that Radiohead’s ‘Spectre’ would be in the top five if they’d had the balls to go through with it? Still can’t believe they went with ‘Writing’s on the Wall’ instead.
A regular reminder that it’s 2018 and Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ still isn’t available on streaming services.
Related: I need to go through my old blog and put some of those posts on the new site.
I (finally) finished the list of podcasts I’m listening to in spring of 2018.
I got curious and did some spelunking through my old blog and was shocked/not shocked to see the last time I did this was back in 2011!
I still want to tweak things a bit more but I stayed up last night and pushed out the mini redesign of articles.inqk.net. Now with more pink!
I think I’m going to become a person who writes it ‘e-mail’.
I’m loving almost everything about 1.0.2 of @hartlco’s Icro. The exception? The size of the ‘LOADING’ text when pulling from the server. Could possibly be that the container it’s in needs more padding. Just looks wrong at the moment.
I made a little more progress with my blog design refresh. It’s not that different to what I have now but will hopefully be a little easier to read.
I’m not sure if this is of interest to anyone following me but there’s a cool Kickstarter for a dictionary of kanji etymology I hope becomes a thing.
There was a good discussion initiated by @jasonshew about a Beijing ad for a English classes promising more native accents. I don’t have an opinion on the ad but it reminded me of the way in which Japanese learners of English limit themselves by not embracing their own accent.
