My various UPS’s (uninterrupted power supply) weren’t cheap, especially the giant one powering my server rack, but every time my street has an outage, I’m very happy I have them. ๐๐๐

โ๏ธ Apple Watch Update: After it crashed at breakfast, I just got a “you’re almost out of battery” notification…and it’s only been three hours since I put it on. ๐คฌ๐ชซ I’m still paying for this piece of junk… ๐ฑ๐

Another day, another issue with watchOS 10.1 on the Apple Watch Ultra v1. I have never been this disappointed in an Apple product before. โ๏ธ๐ฑ Two hardware resets and the issues still persist.

New Plugin: Simple Image Generation
So I did a thing: I wrote my first Micro.Blog plugin. ๐ฅณ It’s nothing fancy, just another image generator but, as I was in the process of migrating the content from my old blog to here, I realized I had already created one in my Hugo instance…all I needed to do was port it over to GitHub โฆ read more

Migrating from Hugo to Micro.Blog
I’ve been splitting my time between my own site (pictured below) and my Micro.Blog instance for…a while now. At first, I tried to keep long-form posts on my site (created using Hugo, hosted at Cloud Flare) and micro / random thoughts to Micro.Blog but the other day, I thought it would โฆ read more

This has to be the buggiest version of WatchOS Iโve ever used. ๐ญ Even after an erase / reset, the battery is draining too fast. The heart rate complication doesnโt work anymore. Now I canโt get into the widgets, which means a restart. What is going on at Apple?! ๐ฑ

Random Thought: Yea, this sounds about right, once the price is outside of what most “normal” people would consider reasonable, piracy increases… ๐ดโโ ๏ธ

I’ve been bashing my head against the Micro.blog theming system, trying to get it matching the one on my primary website but given the time of day, it’s time to shutdown and try again tomorrow. ๐ฑ๐ฎโ๐จ

I was hoping to start swapping my media server from it’s tower case into my new Slinger CX4712 case over the weekend…but life got in the way. Fingers crossed I can get to it this week, I don’t want to impact any end users. ๐ค๐ป๐ท

Is anyone else out there having issues with their Apple Watch Ultra v1 after upgrading to watchOS 10? Even after the unpair / pair dance, my battery is dropping far too fast, havenโt even had the watch on for eight hours and Iโm at 40% left. ๐ค๐ญโ๏ธ

Really wanted to try out some of the new watchOS features, so I downloaded the beta tonight. It was taking a very long time but on a hunch, I turned off the bluetooth and bam! The download time went from two hours to twenty minutes.
Happy nerd alert! ๐คฃ

On a lark yesterday (it was a very long day at work), I decided “oh, what the heck, install the betas”…and honestly, I’m rather surprised. Both my phone and tablet are running faster and smoother. (Side Note: having iOS tag your pets into a collection is amazing. ๐ถ๐ฑ) #iOS #beta

Random Thought: With Twitter (aka “X”) talking about collecting even more data (link to Ars Technica), now seems like a good time to export my old Tweets, remove the Twitter apps from my devices, and import said data into Micro Blog.

Yet another reason why I won’t invest any time, energy, or money into the Google ecosystem: Google kills two-year “Pixel Pass” subscription after just 22 months. ๐คฃ
