I wrote a TextExpander snippet with my pen. It didn’t work.
By our State Government closing Western Australia’s border we have been spared the worst of the coronavirus. #mbnov
By using @LaunchBar 37 × per day, I’ve saved 27h 37m and became The Abbreviator! (since 17 June 2014)
As we head towards December, winter is becoming a distant memory. Next phase of our local weather should be ridiculous heat. #mbnov
Keep Practising 19: Podcast Player Roundup
I’ve trialled a few different podcast player apps over the past few days. This is a short summary of my findings, after trialling Apple Podcasts, Castro, Overcast and Pocket Casts.
I’m enjoying Pocket Casts as a podcast player. I’ve always been aware of it, but never tried it. Now I have, and I think it could be the best of the bunch.
How cool is this? Thank you @Burk
Imagine if Trump decided to quietly fade into obscurity. What a blessing that would be. #mbnov
Send us your desk photos! Does Jason like his iPhone mini? We talk ‘one more thing’. Is TestFlight a cover for iOS demos? Andrew shares one of his weird documents. Surely you begin your week on Monday? And Media Corner! Hemispheric Views 009: You’ve Buggered Up Your Quadrants!
My son and I found it possible to fill our scavenger hunt egg carton on our afternoon walk. #mbnov
My Apple Podcasts experiment lasted about a day. The device sync is good. Nothing else is. Seems like Overcast is the only show in town for multi-device sync and a sane interface.
I’m taking a look at the default Apple Podcasts app. The library interface is inscrutable. Does this app make sense to others?
We all have a dependence upon our Earth. How about we stop screwing it up? #mbnov
My son has given me a bunch of reasons why a train is a cool vehicle. They’re comfortable, they let you travel around, they’re quiet… #mbnov
I’ve been a computer nerd virtually my entire life. I remember when a computer had 8 kilobytes of memory. Those were the days. #mbnov

Check out the desk of @Burk in the latest episode of Hemispheric Views mini. You could even listen to it on a new HomePod mini, if you wish!
When I was young I loved The Far Side by Gary Larson. Unfortunately his recent reboot hasn’t grabbed me in the same way. #mbnov
This was our beautiful girl, Indi. @gabz
I’m contemplating the worth of getting a second HomePod (maxi), putting it into a stereo pair with my existing one. Then removing the receiver, giant speakers, etc. Just simplifying (perhaps?) it all.
