Even More mnml Updates
I’ve been a busy guy today. More updates to mnml are available for those using the theme.
Six Color Tiger MacOS Wallpaper
Because I can never just create one thing and then walk away from it, here’s another Apple six-color inspired wallpaper.
Apple Six Color Inspired Wallpaper
I picked up a license for Acorn 8.0 this morning and immediately started playing with features.
I made it through the certification bootcamp and actually learned some new things. It’s reinvigorated my interest for Apex and LWC on the Salesforce platform, which kind of makes me wish I could go back to just being a developer and create cool stuff again rather than being a nerd wrangler.
Pushed a few minor tweaks to mnml that should show up in Micro.blog installed plugins shortly (v2.0.8). Keep an eye out…
I’m second guessing whether I should have used the melodicmayhem.net domain I own for my Mastodon instance. That would have been a really cool instance name… But then, I really like being “on brand” with my jimmitchell.org subdomain. Makes no difference, I’m committed.
I’ll be doing an intense online bootcamp training for my next Salesforce certification all week long – eight hours a day for five days. It’s all stuff I’ve been doing one way or another for the last 15 years, but being a people manager for the last three has made my mojo rusty. This should be fun…
Another mnml Update
It seems I’m on a mnml theme development roll this weekend.
I made the switch to my own hosted Mastodon instance via Masto.host today. The process was super-simple. I’ve wanted my own instance for a long time and see it worth the $6 a month to have control.
Speaking of mnml, I’ve just added styles for Micro.blog’s new photo collections feature. Keep an eye out for that update (v2.0.3) in your plugins area.
A quick test of the new Photo Collections Micro.blog feature.
Micro.blog mnml Theme Updates
If you’re a Micro.blog user who uses my mnml theme, I made a few updates I’ve been ruminating on for a while that makes it a little more customizable.
Once you’ve updated from your Micro.blog plugins page, you’ll see a new settings option to manage the customizations.
📷 Bombs away!
Seems my monitor woes may not be the Sequoia update after all. Rather, it looks like it’s the monitor itself. It exhibited the same behavior with a machine running Sonoma that previously worked fine. Bummer. I really liked that monitor…
This may sound whiny, so feel free to ignore it if you like… Today is one of those days I have to be “on” personality-wise for work (vendor meetings, holiday party, etc.), but I’m just not feeling it. The only option is to put on the happy mask and just get it done. 🤗
Hmm… After updating to macOS Sequoia 15.2 last night, my laptop seems to randomly decide it doesn’t want to see my external monitor.
App Defaults 2024
I made more changes to my app defaults in the last year than I first realized.
The Walmart VIZIO acquisition closed today. So… That now officially makes me an Associate (employee) of the largest company in the world when measured by both revenue and FTE head count. 🤔
Well… Day one back from a week off and I do believe I’m ready for another week away already.
Giving Zen Browser a try today. So far, I really like what I see. The fact that it’s built on Firefox is a huge plus.
