Notes

I really dislike daylight savings time changes. Even “gaining” an hour, I’m all sorts of wonky and will be for a week. I hope one day legislation actually passes that does away with it once and for all.

As I teased yesterday, I registered a new domain and set up a site for the resurrection journey of my Mac app Yasu. Follow along there if you’re interested.

I challenged Claude.ai and ChatGPT to create a Python script to convert my Omnivore archive from HTML to Markdown using the same prompt. Claude.ai’s script outperformed ChatGPT’s in terms of functionality and flexibility. Although ChatGPT’s script worked, Claude.ai’s script provided better options.

Well darn. My IT Security brethren (and Legal) have finally given the kibosh to my beloved Fantastical calendar app, revoking the OAuth token to connect to my work calendar. It’s not worth fighting to keep, which means it’s not worth renewing my subscription either. We had a good run, Fantastical… 💔

I have managed to come down with a very slight cold. Nothing like I would get when I was a smoker 30+ years ago, but it is the first one I’ve had in more than five years. I think stress at the day job has contributed to it.

Yay Dodgers for winning the World Series. Boo Dodger fans for behaving like destructive looting thugs, yet again. 😒

Happy to report that after one day, interest in and response to the new Micro.blog tees was pretty incredible. Seeing that totally made it worth making it happen.

My wife (of all people) turned me on to a really interesting podcast series yesterday… American Elections: Wicked Game. I’ve listened to the 2020 episode completely and half of the 2016. It’s crazy how much I’ve forgotten of the events that happened during those cycles.

Surprisingly, after upgrading to macOS Sequoia 15.1 and joining the Apple Intelligence waitlist, I received it within a minute or two. I had anticipated a wait of at least a couple of days. Now, I’m trying to figure out how it can actually benefit my computing habits.

It’s said that “good artists copy, great artists steal.” I’d hate to be labeled a thief, so I’m going to borrow the idea and run a social experiment on my site by adding an exclusive Buck a Month Club. If you like my work, this is your opportunity to join 49 others and support what I do each month.
