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!

It seems like when the Micro.blog iOS app beta has been in the background for a while (e.g., a few hours), it’ll launch to a blank timeline as shown in the screenshot. To work around this, I can either pull to refresh or kill the app and relaunch it.

(Submitted as TestFlight feedback, too.)

Juggling drafts for three different blog posts right now. I haven’t written on my blog any longer-form pieces since October, so it’s nice to be inspired again.

It’s now been just over a week of illness. It started with a sore throat over a few days, then turned into an annoying dry cough on Saturday. I haven’t felt horrible, but definitely sick. 😷

Yesterday’s attempt at creating an IFTTT applet to pull Micro.blog posts into Day One technically worked, but the entry timestamp was when the post was fetched, not when it was created. Trying again!
