I wish Safari (especially Mobile Safari) had the concept of ‘workspaces’ so I could keep tabs from different ‘projects’ separate.

Back to Inbox Zero.

Is there any better feeling than writing a test that catches a bug?

Ugh, just damaged the back of a rental car. Not sure how much this is going to cost me. Oh, and that’s after picking up a fine for speeding. This isn’t going to be a cheap trip.

How did I get into the position where I needed to read a 170+ page contract by the end of the day?

After a year of working from home three afternoons a week, I’ve cut that down to one. Feels weird now to be in the office so much.

My image gallery plugin for Jekyll now allows the maximum quality to be set. If something other than ‘original’, it’ll use a thumbnail matching that setting instead. Woo!

Refactoring like a boss.

I’m supposed to be working from home but it’s a really nice day and my daughter wanted to go to Tokyo Station so apologies all the telecommuting people, I’m the reason we can’t have nice things.

Look, I’m not saying I’m solely responsible for Apple’s keyboard repair program, I’m just saying I complain about a problem and, within a week, Apple’s announced a global program aimed at said problem. Connect the dots, people.

In retrospect, it really seems like it should have been Donnie Duck.

With the new beta of Sunlit making the app much more of a true Instagram replacement, I’ve moved Sunlit out of the folder it was hiding in and into a prominent place on my main home screen. I’m really excited to see how this is received once it’s available.

Ho-ly shiiiiiiit: the new timeline in the beta version of Sunlit is basically Instagram. It is exactly what I was hoping for.

The problem looks like it might have gone but I just had the left-hand side command key stop working. I bought this MacBook exactly one year ago today. I think that means it’s now out of warranty.

Is there a secret document that explains how Jekyll’s generators work? The official documentation doesn’t provide much in the way of information about how Jekyll::Page works.

I’m fascinated but how much ‘cooler’ you can make a bog-standard common noun by adding another noun in front of it (eg. musician → session musician). Almost any such combination tickles my fancy but if I had to pick an all-time favourite it’d be ‘table water’.

That feeling where you’ve been reading too much and words start to look wrong. Has ‘corruption’ always had two Rs?

I had some of these at the end of my post on the BeatsX earphones but here’s a wishlist of improvements I hope Apple makes to the (hopefully upcoming) second generation.

Here’s a truly great post by @danielpunkass on why Apple’s ersatz free trials are a long way from what developers actually want.

I don’t see the point of ARKit unless Apple has a pair of glasses coming. None of the uses make sense to me so long as you’re viewing it on a screen you hold in your hands.
