One thing that dawned on me today: since getting my M1 Pro MacBook Pro, I almost never think about the battery when I’m out working at a café or whatever. It truly is all-day battery life.

Okay, I think I’m going to migrate my personal Mastodon presence (https://angelo.land/@angelostavrow) over to my social.lol profile (https://social.lol/@angelo) this week. I’m just not feeling the whole “run your own instance” thing.

Sucks that you can’t bring your toots with you, but whatever. 🤷

I have an old but pretty high-end-ish CD player that I’m looking to sell, but have a feeling there’s no real market for it. 🤔

Mid-May and we woke up to a frost warning today. Honestly a little disappointed that it didn’t snow, because that would just be typical of spring in Montreal.

Having to upgrade a server reminds me of that old adage, “don’t run your own servers if you don’t have to.”

This shit has not gotten better in the last 20 years.

I had no idea that Montreal adopted a bylaw banning unsolicited advertising mail, effective next week.

If you want to receive junk mail, you’ll have to opt-in by putting a sticker on your mailbox.

My wife and I are both signed into our Apple TV. I get prompted to connect my AirPods without issue, but the Apple TV can’t even see hers. I’m the default user but she’s watching under her Apple ID/profile. What are we doing wrong?

No longer cross-posting stuff from my blogs to Twitter. Still not sure what I want to do with my account, maybe make it private until a decision is made.

I need to rework angelostavrow.dev and could use some inspiration! Show me your favourite developer home/landing pages?

Merlin would like to have a word.

Updated my BlueSky handle to use my own domain — find me here: bsky.app/profile/a…

My status.lol RSS feed gets cross-posted via Micro.blog but, oddly, only on BlueSky does a link to the status post get appended — ideally, it wouldn’t.

Checking out BlueSky. Find me here!

🚴‍♂️ Really enjoying the Apple Fitness+ cycling sessions, except for the fact that I hate cardio and biking and exercising

That’s kinda… unexpected.

Bought a year of omg.lol, and I’m loving the aesthetic of the service(s). It offers a suite of services — a profile page, a /now page, a status log, a URL shortener, a blog, &cet. that are pretty quick and easy to set up, but I’ve yet to dive into how much customization is possible.

Find me here.

Very rainy in Montreal today. While the grey skies can be a bit gloomy, these rainy April days are also great for really helping get rid of the last of the snowbanks, clearing out the last bits of winter and priming the city for spring.

Checking out Apple Music Classical this morning. At a quick glance, I really like the ways in which you can search by work, by performer, and even by instrument. Sound quality on my AirPods Pro is more than adequate.

Looking forward to seeing how it sounds on the HomePods later.

Hope you’re all having a lazy #caturday

The new Hipstamatic app makes great use of an app clip, and wow it’s fun to use.

Here’s me!

Is anyone I know using DEVONThink for knowledge management? Looking for resources on workflows and best practices — right now I’m basically just using it as a read-it-later service and it’s way more powerful than that.

May as well set the watch face to match. ☘️

Went downtown but completely forgot that the Saint-Patrick’s Day Parade is happening today. Haven’t actually attended the parade in years, so this should be interesting!

Tools of the trade.

As part of an ongoing effort to rethink my online presence, I’ve added a custom domain to my Micro.blog site — say hello to micro.angelostavrow.blog!
