I have succumbed.
Tot
Tuesday, August 17, 2021
Update: The day after writing this, I bought the iOS version of Tot. My friend and Hemispheric Views podcast co-host Martin Feld is Mr. Default. He likes Reminders. He like Mail.app. He likes Calendar. Not for him the world of OmniFocus, MailMate or Fantastical. No sirree. Keep it simple, keep it made by Apple. Except… he uses Tot. I’m sure he uses Notes as well, but Tot. Not Drafts. I installed Tot on my Mac when it was released, because as with anything made by The Iconfactory, it’s worth a look.
This Twitter thread (which should be a blog, but anyway) from Rich Siegel regarding Electron on macOS should be required reading for anybody who takes even a vague interest in this stuff.
The situation in Afghanistan is deeply saddening. I think of all the women and children, in particular, who are now going to face extremely difficult lives, with no genuine prospect of relief. 😔

Lover’s Lament. ❤️💔
Micro Camp is coming! ⛺️
Weekend plans.
In the process of cancelling my renewal for 1Password I noticed they were charging me more than their standard advertised rate. I was paying $5.49 per month, as opposed to their standard $4.99.
The March of Electron: 1Password Edition

I despise Electron apps. What is the point of having a superior operating system (macOS) if every app that resides on it is nobbled by not supporting basic elements of the underpinning system? I see the short-term reason that developers must use: standardised code, cheaper for development, most users don’t know/care. I also caution about the long-term losses: the damage to brand reputation, the disappointment of ‘power users’ and the risks that can occur from alienating this group.
Pfizer jab #2 has definitely knocked me around, but totally worth it. I’m getting awesome 5G coverage, I missed a phone call from Bill Gates and the deep State have sent me a manilla folder with mission details inside! What a day! 💉
I’m maxinated! Starting to perhaps feel the affects of the second dose of Pfizer, but it’s a price worth paying! 💉

For the heck of it I’ve installed the demo of Bare Bones' Yojimbo. I bought v2.1 on 26 November 2009 and upgraded to v3.0 on 20 October 2010. Version 4.6 doesn’t look to have changed much. The introductory document still refers to iPhoto.
Great to do some planning with @martinfeld and @Burk for the special live episode of @HemisphericViews podcast as part of the upcoming Micro.Camp. Get around the event! ⛺️
I’m elated. Our Australian Boomers got the monkey off the back and won a bronze medal. 🏀 🥉
I’m having one of those “feels like a Friday” nights. Shame it’s Thursday.
