The Follow My Delivery feature that UPS has now is a pretty cool way to watch your packages on delivery day. However, I’m finding myself having a love/hate relationship with it. “Getting closer… NO, don’t turn that way!!”

Planning to buy a Series 4, but completely torn on the 40mm vs 44mm sizes. I’ve never owned an Apple Watch before, but when trying them on in years past it felt like the 42 was the best option. 44mm looks like it might cross the line into “too big” territory though.
Surprised we didn’t see an AirPower charging mat at today’s event. New phones look okay. New watch looks great.
Had to swap my SIM card in order to finally get WiFi calling to work on our Cricket plan. So refreshing to have cell “reception” at home for the first time ever.
Sure would be nice if Apple allowed different versions of Swift compilers to be downloaded/installed as components in Xcode, similar to their simulator download support.
Great, let’s add yet another version of Xcode on my Mac… Up to 5 Xcodes now, just to cover all the Swift versions used in projects I work on. #SwiftLife
Just watched Nanette by @HannahGadsby. What an incredible thought-provoking perspective on the gender turmoil in society today. Check it out on Netflix if you haven’t already.
I think that’s the first time I’ve actually swizzled an init method. Was only half-expecting it to work.
Xcode build: 16 errors.
Fix two syntax changes.
Xcode build: 109 errors.
So I’m changing how I post to social media. All text, Instagram photos, et al will be part of my micro.blog at words.mikepj.dev. I’ll crosspost some items to sites including Twitter (for now). If you want to see everything though, subscribe to words.mikepj.dev.
I’m starting a new photo series on Instagram, captured at the Traverse City State Hospital. The asylum is in the process of being renovated, but there are several dilapidated buildings to explore.
I use various methods to backup data to the backup NAS.
For the primary Synology unit, I just use their Hyper Backup with a single-copy rsync. For the Mac, I use Time Machine to iSCSI volumes. For local/remote Linux VMs, I pull using rsync.
Biggest drawback with dark mode on Mojave is the random website or email with a light background set. It’s really jarring to see a field of white show up on an otherwise dark UI.
Repairing grout and drywall at midnight on a Friday night. The joys of home ownership…
Two out of the three flights I’ve been booked on out of ORD have been cancelled. Really hoping this third flight sticks.
As much as I didn’t like being herded around by the crowd control at WWDC, it was great not being turned away or pushed into an overflow room for a single session this week.
San Jose, you’re alright.
Do yourself a favor and watch “Advance Debugging with Xcode and LLDB”. The demo showing how to adjust a UI layout from the debugger was awesome.
Downloading all the bits.
Wow, I just opened the official Twitter app for the first time in years. It’s showing me tweets from over a week ago near the top of my home page. So obnoxious. If Twitter was always like this, I would never use it.
This week has gone by way too fast. Haven’t had enough time to get into my WWDC zone yet.
