Faraway, So Micro

😐

Just a reminder that if you’re selling an iPhone or iPad because Santa brought you a new one, Apple has a much simpler process for preparing it for resale than it used to be in the past.

Do I need the full install of Xcode on macOS if all I do is a few things like use Homebrew and break my Eleventy blog every so often? (I rely mainly on the GitHub desktop app for most site updates like that.)

My kids: “Can we get picked up after school? It’s so cold!”

Me, bundled up in sweatpants and a hoodie because even the inside is cold today: “When I was your age I had to talk the bus across the city for 45 minutes to get home. Uphill both ways!”

Well I’m glad things seem to be slowing down for the holidays. 😆

Discord added an option to turn on a “Preview video” before the video is turned on for a call.

Important notes from a client: “Maybe Chris can mix in the sound but like I open TikTok and all I hear is ‘Ehh eff your life! Joe Byron! Eff your life! Bing bong!’”

😂

Import Minecraft (Java edition) security update.

Another Xmas miracle: Apple Music now available on Google Nest speakers in more countries - Canada included.

I hope all of you can someday know the joy of hearing a teenager shout at their friends while chasing down a llama together in Fortnite.

Finally our long international nightmare of not having a chronological timeline on Instagram might be over in 2022.

You periodic reminder to any freelancers and solo business owners that you need to actually invoice your clients if you want to get paid for your work.

“Why is my bank account so low? What am I doing wrong?!” 😂

Micro.blog introduces email newsletter feature in a very Micro blog kind of way. I dig it.

A good sign that it’s time to do the laundry is the fact that the only shirt I have left to wear is for an expired domain name idea that now likely leads to a p0rn site of some sort.

I’m saddened by how much of search is driven by commerce. I also want businesses - especially small businesses - to be able to sell their products and services to people looking for them. So I’m torn, nor do I have an answer. End toot.
