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…
📷 Early morning coffee with a view.
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…
On Laws of Nature, Excel and Word - Nitor
Every piece of enterprise software eventually evolves into either reading or writing Excel files.
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.
