We upgraded our youngest’s old 7th-generation iPad to a new 10th-generation iPad. I reset the old one, which I now use for reading and surfing. Usually, we re-cycle devices down the way to the boys, but our youngest needed a new one for high school. Happy to take the old one!
Not a bad day so far today. A cooked breakfast, to begin with, played golf with my Dad and then headed home to get a few chores done before the rest of the family gets home. I could do with a few more days like this through the year.
Took the wee guy to the driving range for a session today. Weather has been awful this week for golfing.

I’m always hesitant about using AI tools while coding, but I have found one good use for AI while coding: naming things. I’m terrible at naming things.
This week, though, I’ve been using Copilot to see if I can improve on the names of the objects and methods I have. I’ve had good results so far.
I like the new Journal feature by 37signals included in their Hey product. I’ll explore this for a few weeks as I’m also trying Apple’s Journal app instead of Day One.
Another good day for Ethan on the golf course.
He won the Junior County Champion of Champions this afternoon at Paisley Golf Club.
Closing off the golf season with a couple of trophies, well done big yin!
I used the word “huzzah” without thinking during stand-up this morning. I think I might just go with it and use it more often.
Turn your phone into a dumb phone.
I love this, and I will definitely try some aspects of it. However, I can’t say if I’ll go the whole way and do everything in this video. If you prefer to read, there’s also a web page with instructions.
