I taught Benji chess today, and he began to understand it immediately We played a couple of games, which led to David becoming interested, so I taught him too.
The boys had a good game between each other, with me coaching both of them.
Tonight, Benji is sleeping with the chess set.
I have bought the Alfred Powerpack. I am sick of the glacial development pace of Launchbar, and the fact it seemed to be consuming excessive CPU cycles. I wonder if my muscle memory can be retrained?
I’m a subscriber of Drafts.app although my usage barely scratches the surface. I could probably be using it almost as a Textexpander replacement. I still find it’s UI virtually inscrutable though.
Last night our family and and some friends attended Explosive Pro Wrestling’s Reawakening XX show. This is EPW’s showcase annual event. Their Wrestlemania, if you are searching for a comparator.
At a sold-out theatre the company put on an amazing show.
I’ve always enjoyed wrestling and nothing beats being in a venue where everybody who is there “gets it”. No need to put up with the naysayers who talk about wrestling being fake, or silly, or whatever other negative comment they want to throw at it for some reason.
Make no mistake though, EPW is high-quality. These performers know what they are doing, are well-trained, and take it seriously.
The Main Event for this show was a no-DQ situation, so it was more intense than one would normally see, and did push the boundaries. Full credit to the wrestlers because there is no way I would put myself through that kind of pain. Julian Ward defeated Mikey Nicholls for the EPW Championship belt and the kids were very excited to meet him at the conclusion of the event.
This is the other great thing about EPW - it’s approachability. Kids getting photos with heroes is totally possible. The venue is a great size so you have an awesome view wherever you sit. It’s brilliant.

I nuked and reinstalled my iMac successfully. Although the problem that motivated the reset remains. Clearly a bug in the software (Marked.app).
I’m about to erase my iMac and reinstall Monterey. @Burk made me do it.
I’ve watched the first two episodes of Dopesick and I’m into it. Looking forward to the chance to watch more.
I am so bored.
Classic Australian movie that makes me sad for the events that occurred.
Flat white alone at the ice skating rink. Parenting is getting easier.

Super proud of the latest episode of @HemisphericViews. Rob from Fastmail was kind enough to join us to discuss ins and outs of the business of email. I also spend some time talking about the YNAB disaster. 🎙
An interesting approach to a redemption story. It kept me engaged but I didn’t enjoy the conclusion.
Anxiety has kicked my arse over the past 24 hours.
I love a business that has a tidy balance sheet.
A happy Sunday evening.
It is just… so… bad.
Lest we forget.
Okay, real talk Windows people. How do I create a second Explorer window? How do I stop Explorer save dialogues being so tiny and defaulting to some weird location? And how the hell do you do anything without Quick Look? How do you Windows people live?
