Hey, I’m Jim Mitchell. 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... Indieweb is punk.

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.

Doing some OutPost testing this afternoon, I was pleased to discover that the app kind of works with Pika.page too, though not quite as feature complete as it is for some other blogs.

Seasons come, seasons go. I'm in a bit of a slump right now. What I need is to get away from the usual day to day and do something different on my own.

I spun up a site to centralize all of my Mac/iOS apps this afternoon, mostly to have a place for the necessary pages OutPost will need for iOS Test Flight and Mac beta test distribution. We should be close (I hope) to making it publicly available.

The apps are working great for me with nearly everything I’ve posted lately using OutPost.

My wife and I decided to watch Normal over the long weekend, not knowing anything about the movie other than it starred Bob Odenkirk, who, of course, everyone loves.

In hindsight, we were expecting something a little different I think. Nonetheless, we ended up enjoying it enough to finish watching, mostly due to the absurdity. The gore wasn’t really our thing, but it was an hour and a half filled.

I’ve used Day One off and on over the years. I checked out Apple’s Journal app when it first came out, but wasn’t too impressed with that early version. However, I recently looked at it again and can actually say it might be an app worth using now given how infrequently I do journal. Maybe I can build up a habit of using it more. I’m curious to know what other Apple users think of it?

I’m working on setting up OutPost for an App Store iOS test flight release. Apple sure makes this stuff confusing…

The outer bands of Hurricane Marie are rolling into SoCal. I’ve watched the humidity climb 10% in the last couple hours. We are forecasted to get rain tomorrow, which we need badly. I hope some thunderstorms come with it too. I love me some thunder and lightning…
