I love the Flow functionality of the Logi+ app is pretty awesome when it works. Mostly it’s effective.
But:
The Logi keyboard does not Flow.
So, I keep typing where I should not type, or do not want to type.
The Great Re-Rip Project of 2024 https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2024/01/11/the-great-rerip.html
My biggest risk, with respect to long-term retention of any digitized or otherwise computer-based information, is myself. I repeatedly invent new scenarios from which I am unable to recover.
I had a small amount of angst about ripping CDs to WAV and not doing any conversion to a more compact format. However, seeing Plex push straight PCM to my AppleTV or DLNA to my receiver, I’m feeling better about the decision. Plex deals with metadata with a fair amount of grace.
Working to unsubscribe from good intentions and momentary interest. Working to a more sane and sustainable inbox. I’m ridiculous.
Apple still sells the USB SuperDrive. I’m using one with a USB-A to USB-C adapter on a Re-Rip project. I’m thinking I should pick one up as a spare.
I use Apple Wallet functionality almost every week day, both via phone and watch. I did not know that the “bank card” in my Apple Wallet would expire independently of the physical card expiration.
It does. Looks like a two-year registration that must be redone, and isn’t a simple matter of updating an exp... 1-1.hjalmer.com https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2024/01/03/i-use-apple.html

I was pleasantly surprised by accidentally discovering Universal Control just working on an old iPad at work. I had assumed this was one way, where the Mac controlled the iPad.
Tonight I discovered the trackpad and keyboard of my iPad case will also control my MacBook.
Currently reading: The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien 📚
I am astonished by the detail I don’t remember while surprised how much of my recollection of the story is written over by the movies. I noticed this as well with another series.
To all who celebrate, I wish you a Happy New Year!
Hmm. Not sure why my syndicated posts all have a link to a Björk track
Have just finished being a right jolly old elf. Just about to settle in for a long winter’s nap.
I was at a company function a few days ago. A pair at the gathering approached excitedly to tell me they had walked across Reykjavik and brought back a sweater from Iceland. They had been told I was from Iceland. Somehow there has been discussion of where I’m from where that has been an answer. I’m reasona... 1-1.hjalmer.com https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2023/12/23/i-was-at.html
It would be cool if MacOS had a calculator widget.
It wouldd be cool if iPad OS came withh a calculator.
Can’t have it if I don’t ask, right?
Evidence that I do still occasionally wear a tie 
In yet another nod to me not being in the correct demographic, I lament today that the Apple Journal app is only available on my phone. Not my iPad or Mac where I can properly sit down at the keyboard and bleed. Blood on the oliophobic and water resistant phone is not at all the same.
Video just does not syndicate well. Too soon. I know.
