Tonight’s goal is to build a better image upload experience in my Rails application. I’ve never really bothered too much about adding drag and drop to my applications, but for image uploads is a much better experience than using a file picker.
I always love the superb view at my parent’s garden in the winter.
Over the years, I’ve taken a few pictures like this, some with leaves everywhere, some with frost, and even a couple with snow. I’ve yet to capture the deer that sometimes wander into the garden, though.
I’m not sure if it’s age or wisdom (they’re not exactly the same), but as these increase, I’m becoming increasingly selective about the technology that I introduce into my life.
Watching Jaws tonight. The murky waters in the movie are much more realistic looking than the more modern shark movies.
Had a wee listen there to “Protect Ya Neck” by Wu-Tang Clan.
Apple subscription bundles
An Apple bundle might start with news, TV, and music, but Apple could also chuck in iCloud data and maybe even a credit card deal supported by the Apple Card. Hell, given the existence of the iPhone Upgrade Program, which charges customers a monthly fee to upgrade their phone every year, a future Apple super-bundle-plus might even include hardware on tap. — Apple could bundle news, TV, and music into one subscription as soon as 2020
I would love to see Apple bundling more of their products into single subscriptions. We’ve got an iCloud subscription and a Apple Music subscription for the family. If Apple could throw in News and TV+, I would definitely sign up for it.
I’ve spun up a Ghost blog on a small DigitalOcean droplet. No idea what I’ll do with it yet, but the install process was very straight-forward. Good to know.
If I could do the whole career thing again, then I would love to be able to write for a living.
I don’t know why I took so long to do it, but I’ve just activated the ActivityPub API on my Micro.blog account. I’m now free to follow and be followed by Mastodon accounts.
Being able to follow others across different communities is such a great option to have!
Applying for a 2nd golf club membership for Ethan. He will stay at his current club, Paisley, but the second club, Fereneze, is just down the road and come the spring he’ll also be eligible to play for the Ferenze junior team as they play in a different league from Paisley.
