Arghh! I just discovered that even after DayOne recovered, finally, from their breach and brought sync back online my IFTTT applets are silently failing. The applet details show “No options found” for which Journal to post too. Re-auth of IFTTT didn’t help 🤬
It looks like I have been able to slay the launch services daemon that kept burning my CPU. Not sure which tweak did the trick but I’m happy to have my MBP working well again. @smokey
Part of my Mother’s Day gift to my wife: John Dewar & Son’s Signature Scotch. It’s a bit extravagant but man is it wonderful! 🥃🥃
More milestones in my Internet makeover: 1. Having replaced my gmail account everywhere I can find, I set Google to forward straggling emails to Proton & removed Gmail from all devices. 2. Except for my Mac, I have set my Mail apps to no longer show unread counts. Less twitchy.
I recently started a project to enter my book collection into the BookBuddy app. In doing so I have discovered I have 50 books by John Dickson Carr and his nom de plumes. He was my first mystery writer and I devoured his books starting in my late teens. Great memories.
The root launch services daemon (lsd!) on my MBP keeps going nuts and using tons of CPU time. So far my attempts to figure out the cause using Console are a complete failure. Open to suggestions if you have any. I’m on High Sierra.
I can’t remember the last time I saw books mentioned as a driver of a major corporation’s revenue. Hooray for reading.
These new UPS trucks are adorable!
UPS has new electric trucks that look straight out of a Pixar movie
Recent discussions here triggered memories of computer languages I’ve known vs what I currently use. So I decided to write it up for my amusement and maybe yours. Who can forget HyperTalk? Forth? Pascal? Fond memories.
A number of posts on micro.blog triggered memories of forgotten languages (computer that is, though I’ve forgotten most of my Japanese as well). I was curious what a list of languages I currently use would look like up against ones I no longer use[footnote title=“…”]and in several cases had forgotten existed[/footnote]. Below is my list of current vs relegated languages. I think this list is a great illustration of how Computer Science requires constant learning without even taking into account the many advances in architecture, development paradigms, etc.

I used this Wiki page to help compile the list.
Is the DayOne app integration with IFTTT still working for anyone? Mine’s been down for days. I heard of a general API failure but haven’t been able to track down any details.
Note: I use IFTTT to ‘cross post’ blogs into my personal journal.
The latte art is strong with this one (cortado) ☕️.
The barista here is always so friendly & cheerful it really kickstarts my day.
I just watched Human Flight (wingsuits). My reactions went from amazing videos of flights to those people are insane flights straight to videos noting the fatal flights. The YT comments debate doing what they love vs selfish and cruel to loved ones. Thought provoking.
Completed the 20th century version of binge watching yesterday: started & finished a 300+ page non-fiction hardbound book while glued to the sofa 📚
It’s going to hit 90F today. I think it’s time to switch workouts from my winter habit of early afternoons to my summer habit of early mornings. It’s hard to do for some reason.
Tonight’s appetizer - spicy handrolls.
Big milestone today: Our 14 year old daughter achieved a life goal. She is now taller than her mom.💃🏼
@Becky Hi Becky, if you’d post from Micro.blog it would be easier to reply to you than on Twitter. Just saying.😇
Speaking of definitions of success, this study reveals another myth about startups & success - age. There are lots of people more about creating a business with a purpose than a fast phenomal exit (which is rare).
I always shake my head when a laptop is left unattended. This woman left her laptop plus phone plus purse.

The photo doesn’t do it justice but it is bucketing down rain outside. A good excuse to hunker down at the coffee shop with an Americano, my iPad, and notebook.
Team building in Palo Alto. You don’t want to know the combined salaries of this group. And yes we made all the blind folded jokes.
@manton I did 2 Instagram archive imports of single photos. They don’t show up in my timeline. In WordPress->Media the images are there with today’s date and a hex file name. Is that expected?
My write up on the plugins I use to work with the IndieWeb has a major update today. I activated several new plugins at David Shanske’s suggestion and added links to the plugins as well thanks to @unoabraham’s suggestion.
@Manton Does the Instagram archive import work w/Wordpress hosted blogs, or only those you host?
