I don’t want to be the one praising Twitter, but this seems like a smart, easy win.

Wiped and reinstalled my Mac to fix a python problem (which, thank God, it appears to have done). I think I've got all the essentials.

Last one is going to take a while 🥱

Found a lovely little free animation on a helpful site and thought “that’s really simple, I bet I could learn just enough #SwiftUI animation to reproduce it.” Spent an hour or so doing just that and felt very accomplished.

Found out 2 days later what Lottie is and how I'd blithely ignored the whole purpose of https://lottiefiles.com

Still, learning something new instead of lobbing in yet another library is probably a good thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dusted off my #podcast catch-up thing for its periodic update. It’s been running for 9 years now and clients continue to suck at replaying podcasts from the start and I continue to need it. Why not join me and a couple of hundred Germans.

Success! Took the first day of actually letting myself feel hungry to hit the line but that’s milestone one achieved. Better late than never. A little rest and then on to the next milestone.

#dieting

I’m reading the wrong #2022review TV posts because there’s no love at all for #StrangeNewWorlds.

It’s not as gritty as Andor. It’s not as cerebral as Severance and it doesn’t have Gary Oldman hamming it up like Slow Dogs, but it’s really, really fun.

Gobsmacked. I have just contacted #apple support to fix a tricksy problem with my wife’s iCloud account.

I was on hold for under 2 minutes. A knowledgeable agent walked me through the basics via really good screen share. When they didn’t work she put me on hold for a few minutes to do research and then came back with the exact solution.

By far the best tech support I’ve ever had. All this during the Christmas period when they must be bombarded by people that got a new device from Santa.
