Holy carp, Batman! It’s 98 degrees outside right now… I almost melted when I stepped out of the office.

My wife and I decided to watch Normal over the long weekend, not knowing anything about the movie other than it starred Bob Odenkirk, who, of course, everyone loves. In hind sight, we were expecting something a little different I think. Nonetheless, we ended up enjoying it enough to finish […]

Today is a multiple caffeinated coffees type of day… 🥱

I’ve used Day One off and on over the years. I checked out Apple’s Journal app when it first came out, but wasn’t too impressed with that early version. However, I recently looked at it again and can actually say it might be an app worth using now given how infrequently I do journal. Maybe I can […]

Hah! Got the palm trees in the back yard trimmed and cleaned up just in time for more rain to start. Booyah!

I’m working on setting up OutPost for an App Store iOS test flight release. Apple sure makes this stuff confusing…

Such good boys…

The outer bands of Hurricane Marie are rolling into SoCal. I’ve watched the humidity climb 10% in the last couple hours. We are forecasted to get rain tomorrow, which we need badly. I hope some thunderstorms come with it too. I love me some thunder and lightning…

I changed up the layout of OutPost for Mac this morning. I feel the dual sidebar layout works far better on larger screens and is more “Mac-like” in its look and feel. I might be close to having other people test it for real.

Moo Chi and Dice. First public outing downtown. They were the center of attention. #dogsofmastodon #MooChiAndDice

Okay, so I’ve been away from the Micro.blog timeline for a minute. What are some of the great things I’ve missed in the last, oh, six months? 🤣

I’m not going to lie… While they’re cute as all heck, life with two new juvenile puppies has been a little crazy and disrupting to my sleep the last few days. I’m grateful for a long weekend and a Friday afternoon that is hopefully quiet.

↩ In reply to https://ljpuk.net/posts/lets-stop-buying-new-phones I agree with Lee that it’s okay to skip a year — maybe even two or three — between tech upgrades. Personally, I decided a while ago that I wasn’t going to buy any new tech until it’s either no longer useable due to age, or it […]

<rant> Every fricken' morning, and several times throughout the day, I'm greeted with this pleasantry. This, my friends, is one of the scourges of an employer "managed" computer. Sadly, I cannot "manage" it myself since I'm not a machine admin. </rant>

Being the goodest bois… #dogsofmastodon

Silly phone scammers. I work for the company you're trying to scam me as. Don't you think I'd know how it all actually works? PSA: If you get a call from "Walmart" customer support about account activity, it's not real. It's scammers trying to land on an unsuspecting elderly person since […]

Teasing some screenshots of my in-progress Micropub editor app, via the very app itself. How very meta of me (no, not that meta)… https://cleanshot.com/share/L6x7v1W97Jq0m0LXXVym https://cleanshot.com/share/jvqtJ2PL1NpqfrYfRclS https://cleanshot.com/share/NvS8Rl7XJbH57Qjsn0db Plus, I wanted […]

Wow. The new release of CleanShot X looks simply amazing. And that's all I have to say about that...

We’ve worn Moo Chi and Dice out before they wore us out, but it was close.

I’ve been patiently trying to get a coworker in a different working group to respond to an ask for a very long time now — too long really. I’ve been polite through all of it. Today, however, the big guns come out… I bet I get a response within a few hours.

🔖 Bookmarked https://www.normaltools.com/ Open a tool, do the thing, leave. No account, no download, and nothing between you and the answer. I somehow managed to stumble on to this site this morning. The dev related tools are pretty handy, but I especially liked the band name generator tool. I […]

Here are stats for indiewebispunk.net over the last eight days since I began tracking domain hits in my server logs. Even after a week and a half, traffic is still holding its own. #indiewebispunk

Because I couldn’t wait to share them… Dice (left) and Moo Chi (right) from their Mutts in Need profile picture. They’ll be coming to their forever home today. Warning, this is going to be the first of many dog pics in my feed for a while.

This is a test photo post to Micro.blog of Big Bear valley, sent from OutPost.

This is a test post to Micro.blog from my new macOS Micropub editor, OutPost. It should also federate out to Mastodon.

Excited to say that we’ve been approved to adopt Dice and Moochie, the two cute rescued Chihuahau pups we met yesterday. Now we wait for the next steps from their foster. Hopefully they’ll be in their new home (ours) within a few days.

We went and met two of the most adorable bonded Chihuahua young pups today. We’ve started the adoption process to give them their forever home.

Tab Beniot was a great show at the Coach House last night, and is as good live as his recordings. I’m so glad we finally saw him. The last time we had tickets, we were both under the weather and decided to skip the show. Bucket list artist achieved. The […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

Speaking of my site, I think I can finally say with 99.9999% certainty that I am satisfied with the design and functionality. It’s taken six months and several hundred commits, but it’s been worth it. In it, I’ve been able to reduce posting friction, so there’s no reason not to write.
