I had an English Literature teacher my senior year of high school named King Wisdom (no joke!) who’s class you could pass by bringing him Rolos (also, no joke).
I did not bring him Rolos myself, but think of him whenever I partake of them.
Thoughts
Thankfully, we’ve recovered from my hasty settings change day before yesterday.
Every now and then I forget my own rule to the rest of the team: Test in a sandbox, test it again as a user, then test once more as a different user before promoting it.
I caused myself way too much stress with this one…
While trying to catch up some lost time from the day, I thought I could enable a seemingly innocuous environment setting without testing it properly in a sandbox first.
What do you think happened?
You’re right! Shit broke and I can’t roll it back.
Yay me!
Waiting for Sequoia updates to complete on the Intel work laptop. 2 hours and counting so far…
If it were Apple silicon, I’d be back working already. 😑
My wife and I had a fantastic lazy weekend in Palm Springs with no agendas or timelines other than laying by the pool and dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Our time is over now and it’s back to the real world…
Let this be a lesson, kids… Always double check the QA work of someone else. RV backup camera was NOT tested properly and still needs to be worked on. No pickup for Breezie happening today… 🤬
We get our RV back from the shop today. 🎉 It only took four weeks to get fixed–which is actually pretty good. Thankfully, the service contract we purchased covers the cost of it all. After I bring it home, we’re headed to Palm Springs for a mini-vacation weekend. ☀️😎🍹
I had the strangest dream… @manton showed up at my house with his pet kangaroo because a post I published somehow broke Micro.blog. After debugging and fixing it together, we watched family videos of my kids from 30 years ago, watched the sun set, and then he took pictures to remember the visit.
I had the best health insurance experience yesterday! While scheduling some costly tests, three incredibly friendly representatives went above and beyond to assist me. I barely had to lift a finger. This was not the American healthcare system I’m used to!
I had to zap the PRAM on my work laptop this morning to get it to boot properly. I haven’t had to do that to a Mac in years, maybe even decade, but my fingers remembered what to do without giving it any thought…
For those who may not have seen it, mnml v2.4.4 released…
Maybe it’s just me, but the Micro.blog web servers seem to be a bit snappier lately. I’m liking it…
Had a lunch date with my wife today at a place we haven’t been to in 15 or 20 years that overlooks the pier. Then we walked the pier afterwards. It was an enjoyable afternoon with my bestie. I’m a lucky guy.
I’ve been going to a local shoe store for more than 25 years that has a “spin the wheel for a free pair of shoes” game. In all those years, I’ve never won a free pair… Until today. Score!
Changes for a mnml update are nearly complete and may drop by the weekend.
I also have some great ideas in the works for my next Micro.blog theme…
My youngest turns 28 today. As each year passes, it gets harder and harder to fathom the actual number.
I’m doing localization work on mnml this week. If you’d like to contribute by translating some strings, contact me using the “Email” link in the footer. I could take the Google Translate route, but I just don’t trust it enough.
A small/moderate earthquake in SoCal this morning (5.2, located in 📍Julian, CA). It’s a reminder that the big one is long overdue… 🫨
I got a great start to a macOS browser cache management app worked up this weekend. This one’s the new passion project to get more familiar with SwiftUI.
Tax checks mailed. 😩👋🏻💸💸💸
I always get the brew update and brew upgrade commands backwards. To me, “update” should be updating packages, and “upgrade” should be installing the latest version of brew.
I vibe coded a mini-cms for LAMP stack with Cursor last night and a little this morning. While not the cleanest or securest of code, it got the job done. I can create posts in Markdown and they render as HTML. All code was generated solely by prompt. A fun distraction to see what the app could do.
I knew as soon as I launched OmniFocus 3 that I’d have to see if v4 was as good or better. Of course it is and I’ll have to drop the $75 USD for an upgrade. Good Mac apps would make me really poor if I weren’t careful.
After listening to @canion and @martinfeld talk about Andrew’s appearance on the Omni Show on Hemispheric Views Ep. 134 this morning, I remembered I had an OF Pro 3 license. So I downloaded the Mac & iOS versions to use for work projects. I used to be a huge OF nerd. Not sure why I strayed…
Taking my first foray into vim. Don’t ask why. I like to torture myself sometimes…
It looks like the RV will be in the shop for our early May trip as well, so we’ve rescheduled and booked a hotel in Palm Springs for that weekend instead. Early May is the perfect time to visit “The Springs.”
WTAF, Apple??? If I delete a stupid app like Playground from my phone, don’t reinstall it, please… Jeez. 🙄
I finished reading Hell Yeah or No by Derek Sivers today. I’m starting it over again tomorrow, reading an entry every day or two and making notes on it. There’s no rush to get through the book this time around. I plan to take it slow and really think about what I’m getting from what I’ve read.
Wearing my Micro.blog tee at work today and a coworker asked me what it was about. Had the opportunity to share and answer questions for about 10 minutes. Maybe she’ll sign up…
Eh, what the heck… I’m back on Bluesky again.
