Merry Christmas
My baby now has global entry and tsa pre check. Visited the border on Christmas Eve
Saw Stella Cole tonight in Portsmouth for her Christmas show. Great ensemble.
I walked into Starbucks and god a Christmas blend. I walked into my dentist to book an appointment. “We can see you now” great but what about my coffee breath?
Went on a sleigh ride today.
I'm really happy Apple's insatiable appetite for services revenue has shifted Apple's thinking on AppleCare+. My M1 Max AppleCare expires this week and Apple took $12.50 a month to extend my plan for 12 more months (prepaid of course). Even if I sell the MacBook Pro in 2025 for an M4 or …
Thanks carrot.
...and on MacOS, Mail.app has been open for 5 minutes downloading messages. I opened outlook and they all came in 5 seconds. I don't know what Apple did in these x.2 updates to break mail but I'm really over it.
The biggest thing about Outlook is the fact that I can search my inbox for the last 20 years. Mail.app has forgotten how to do that despite "all mail" being set to download. My host is Office 365 for all of my inboxes + 1 iCloud inbox. So maybe it's just that a 1st party experience is …
I also joined Bluesky last night but only to retain my username...kind of surprised my username wasn't already taken - https://bsky.app/profile/adamchandler.bsky.social
I’ve switched to outlook on mobile now. I can’t deal with mail bugs on iOS.
@jsnell Thank you sir!
@jsnell - Are you using an off-the-shelf wordpress plugin for these Mastodon embeds? All I did is link to Six Colors and it's a really pleasant card generated with a link to the author's mastodon account. I love it!
Finding my fancy shampoo and soap after a week of it in boxes / u-haul / boxes has lead to quite possibly the most amazing shower ever. Links for the curious. …
This Six Colors post on iOS 18.2 mail is spot on - https://sixcolors.com/post/2024/12/ios-18-2-mail-is-a-misfire/ I'd rate Mobile Mail on iOS as a dumpster fire and I'm quickly considering replacing the Mail icon with Outlook. That's how bad it's gotten. I disabled categories and the …
Probably haven’t linked to it yet but there's what I'll be doing at my next job - https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/director-of-business-enablement-and-delivery-at-king-arthur-baking-company-4029069465/
YouTube Year in review for anyone curious. Now, I don’t have enough “engagement” to get partnerships or the attention of any companies but despite having a baby and working full time, I managed 162 uploads this year which is over 3 a week, almost 1 million views and 1400 comments. …
First day of daycare for Matilda.
and I'm old enough to remember having to replace light bulbs annually so 8 years is pretty good and these bulbs can be demoted to a less critical part of the house.
When I bought this house in 2016, the brightest Hue bulbs from Phillips were 800 lumens. Now they're at 1600 lumens. It is painful spending $64 each on these multi color bulbs but our kitchen has 4 in a recessed fixture and so 8 years ago, I spent around $40 for 4 bulbs putting out a combined …
@mjtsai Dragging it worked! Thank you.
In other apple bugs, Home.app has shown all 3 HomePods as "configuring" for 2 days. sigh. These were completely removed from the old house, reset and re-added.
