Thanks to my buddy Curtis for letting me know about cleaning your iPhone’s charging port.
Solved my problem of my phone not charging.
Nightmare. I’m having to lift my lightning cable connection in order to get a charge into my iPhone now.
The master list. Have to do, want to do, dream to do, home and work. Doesn’t get much easier than that.
Is 120 the new 80?
Did I miss the heated and crazy developer debate that the new accepted line length is 120 characters?
Joking aside, I’d like to know if anyone else has changed their coding standards to allow for a bigger line length because of changes in source code management tools.
For a long time I’ve used 80 characters as a guideline as opposed to a set rule. Sometimes I’ll go over this but most of the time I don’t.
With bigger displays everywhere though, it appears that developers are switching to a larger line length when it comes to their coding standards.
I need to find a way to retire sooner to enjoy more days like this.
Battleheart 2 for iOS looks great.
I never played Battleheart, but I’m a huge fan of Battleheart Legacy.
School holidays are here
It’s the first day of the school summer holidays here in Scotland.
In previous years I would have dropped Drew off at nursery and then dropped Ethan off at the golf. This year though Drew is at school, as he no longer goes to nursery, and Ethan is still resting after fracturing his foot last week.
All I can say is thank goodness for golf and Fortnite. It’s the only two things that will keep them occupied for the next week until our family holiday kicks in.
Have I lost my tech touch?
It’s been a frustrating couple of days getting my laptop into some kind of order. I can’t get the following things to work:
- Connect the new Tower v3 app to my GitLab or GitHub accounts
- Connect my Fastmail account to Spark
- Sign in to Micro.blog desktop client
The list was longer yesterday but I managed to resolve a bunch of issues with a single action. These remaining items have been vexing me since.
The Micro.blog issue is out of my hands and has been reported, but the Tower and Spark issues are things I expect to just work, but I can’t explain why they don’t.
It begs the question, have I lost my tech touch?
Update: Turns out I had a keychain issue that required me to reboot my laptop to get everything working again. Thanks to @manton and Tower support for pointing me in the right direction. 👍
Anyone have any recommendations on a Jekyll theme that would serve a similar purpose as an About.me page?
I’m looking for something like a portfolio site, but more of an emphasis on who I am, what I’m working on and where people can find me.
Vivo getting one up on Apple?
Vivo also achieved another technological feat. Unlike Apple, it managed to incorporate a fingerprint scanner into the screen itself. The reader sits directly below the glass, and you can can just rest your finger on the front of the phone near the bottom to unlock it, with no need for a dedicated home button or fingerprint reader anywhere else on the device that would have reduced display size.
— A new smartphone found a novel way to make the entire front of the phone one giant screen
Sure, a slide-out camera is nice, but I’m pretty sure we’ll see both the camera and the fingerprint scanner sitting behind the display in the near future. Just a question of who’ll get there first.
