The Weekend Report #4
Still taking it easy from my back spasming out last month. It's put a lot of things on hold but I'm getting back to normal. As a result there wasn't much to report from this past weekend. It wasn't completely uneventful though.
My mum and dad celebrated their Ruby wedding anniversary with a meal at our favourite Italian restaurant in Paisley.
Little Drew had been suffering from a cold and cough in the last few days but he rallied round for the meal. He'll do anything to get some chips and ketchup!

Saying Goodbye to Evernote
Ian Dick writes about his farewell to Evernote.
This year though a couple of things changed. Firstly Evernote tweaked there prices so I’d be paying more going forward. Secondly, Apple Notes improved and also offered a way to import Evernote content as did Microsofts Onenote. There also seemed to be a lot of grumbles in the many podcasts I listen to about what Evernote had become and how viable was it’s future.
Evernote's proprietary format has been a reason why I don't Evernote. It's easy to get stuff in but hard to get it back out. I tried Apple Notes for a while but it's Simplenote that gets my award for best notes app.

First thing I noticed was all the instances of poor code I had written. Bad design, object naming, syntax use etc. #learningdeveloper
