Hey, I’m Jim Mitchell. Saved by grace. Wrangler of nerds, herder of cats, and butcher of code, though not always in that order. This is my place on the web to explore technology, design, and simple living through the lens of someone who uses ellipses like punctuation should be optional...
If you’ve been giving OutPost for Mac a spin, or have already made it part of your blogging workflow, I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’ve not gotten any substantial feedback on the app so far, so it must be perfect as is. 🤣
My plan is to make the current version the “real” public release unless there’s a show stopper issue so I can focus on the iOS work.
Okay… A bunch of rapid-fire changes to OutPost over the last couple of days. Check out the change log to see everything that’s been fixed. The big news is OutPost will return a Pika feed properly. 🎉 Pika peeps, give it a go and report back.
For those who are curious, I’m working on an OutPost update to make working with blogs that only advertise the Micropub protocol (like Pika, Blot, Hugo, and Dobrado) more pleasant. Expect an update sometime this weekend – maybe even tomorrow morning…or possibly tonight.
I released a small update to OutPost for Mac this morning fixing a few niggly things that have been bugging me.
Hah! I just got an email asking me to run the tech for the next quarterly meeting this coming Monday. It would seem I have permanently added an extra area of responsibility to my job description… Fun times.
Oof. This is a crammed week of stuff. We’re having new floors installed and the house is wrecked, I have a dentist appointment this afternoon, an after-hours application deployment for the day job tomorrow evening, Thursday’s calendar is jam packed, and then an eye exam Friday after work. What was I thinking?
I just received a slew of budget review meeting invites from my group VP. This is one of the ickier parts of my role now.
I'm pleased to announce that OutPost for Mac is publicly released today as a beta for adventurous users to try out.
Let’s try that again… My work on OutPost is coming along really well, but just when I think I’m about ready to turn it loose for others to try, I’ll get another idea for something I think the app should do. Nonetheless, here’s a tease of some iOS screenshots (plus a Mac screenshot).
We finally took the recliner chair that I rehabbed in after heart surgery to Goodwill today. It’s weird that it’s not here anymore, but it was time to get back to normal and fully close that chapter of my life.
