Imaginary Apple device idea: Apple Studio

  • Microsoft studio form factor
  • ARM processor
  • runs macOS /iPadOS
  • has all the iPad app in catalyst.

That would be interesting for sure.

We finally pushed our website update today at work. It was a tonne of work and setbacks but I’m glad we’ve managed to get it out the door and can focus on the next steps now.

You can have two iA Writer tabs on the iPad. Nice 😎 (but part of me still misses Ulysses)

When Idris Elba first turned up in the office, I kind of hoped it was somehow really Stringer Bell and at somepoint there was going to be a crossover between the office and the wire.

I’m working at the computer as my daughter says the Polish word for poo-poo over and over again and tries to put a nappy on her doll. This is not the work from home productivity and minimalist lifestyle of the blog posts. It’s much better.

Today I discovered, Betteridge’s law of headlines.: any headline that ends in a questionmark can be answered by the word no. I had noticed this myself and used it to avoid clickbait but there’s a name for it.

Dalgona coffee. This has poped up on my social feeds a few times recently. Has anyone tried one? What did you think?

Me: “If I leave a note saying this section is for quotes and use a really obvious placeholder quote, the developers won’t put my placeholder in, they’ll put in the quotes we have on system.” Developers: “so here I need to write ‘this is a quote, replace with real quote” - FIRSTNAME LASTNAME.’ Job done."

I’m on an enterprise website doing some research. I’m pressing on the filter buttons and it literally takes between a minute and two to respond to every interaction! (The company boasts about the speed of its tech).

One of the best decisions I made in following tech stuff is to just not care about rumours. Well, try not to care. It’s amazing how correct some of them can be but honestly it makes no difference if I speculate for months about what a new iPad with a trackpad might be and it’s really nice to wake up and see something you didn’t know was coming. If you like and enjoy all the speculation around tech rumours then I’m happy for you but increasingly I want to use tech to do stuff and not think about how great something might be, one day.
