Notes

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…

The main editor window for the OutPost Micropub editor.

I changed up the layout of OutPost for Mac this morning. I feel the dual sidebar layout works far better on larger screens and is more “Mac-like” in its look and feel. I might be close to having other people test it for real.

I agree with Lee that it’s okay to skip a year — maybe even two or three — between tech upgrades.

Personally, I decided a while ago that I wasn’t going to buy any new tech until it’s either no longer useable due to age, or it somehow breaks and is something I rely on daily. Having the latest and greatest just doesn’t appeal to me anymore.

I’m even ruminating on going back to a dumb phone once my iPhone 16 is no longer useable, and a Framework laptop when my MacBook Air M3 gives up the ghost.

I’ve been patiently trying to get a coworker in a different working group to respond to an ask for a very long time now — too long really. I’ve been polite through all of it. Today, however, the big guns come out… I bet I get a response within a few hours.

Excited to say that we’ve been approved to adopt Dice and Moo Chi, the two cute rescued Chihuahau pups we met yesterday. Now we wait for the next steps from their foster. Hopefully they’ll be in their new home (ours) within a few days.

We went and met two of the most adorable bonded Chihuahua young pups today. We’ve started the adoption process to give them their forever home.
