Well done to the winners I guess, but I can't help thinking that Apple handing out design awards these days is like Boris Johnson praising someone for competent governance. https://developer.apple.com/design/awards/
Latest #OctopusEnergy billing farce: email suggesting my monthly direct debit should be changed to... £8.00
I'm moving to another supplier. Energy companies are all bad but billing is their only job. One correct calculation in a year shouldn't be too much to ask.
The sun finally shone today and I wasn't doing "big screen work" so I took my laptop out to the garden for a bit. Battery lasted 2 hours. M1 MacBook Pro
Good band practice today. We're doing a bunch of covers and reviving one song we wrote together in the 90s. All starting to sound pretty good but guess the one song and #guitar solo I made a pig's ear of. Yes, our own, and my own.
Cleaned my solar panels with a water-fed brush and squeegee. No chemicals, although there probably is something appropriate that won't leave a residue. Any thoughts?
Anyway it's going to rain for the next 3 days so I won't know if it's helped until the weekend.
I had created a grant total of 3 #Passkeys, stored in a password manager rather than a platform lock-in, but I'm deleting them all. If something is ever to replace passwords and OTPs it needs a better user experience, not worse and more confusing.
Really enjoying https://draculadaily.com. I tried last year but missed a few entries, got confused about the story and dropped it. Fun way to read the book but important to make sure you don't skip bits. To make it easier I have a filter move the emails into a folder.
Overheard quite an elderly couple debating #AI in a beautiful spot in the #PentlandHills near #Edinburgh. He was all in on the successor species nonsense and she could see right through it. They walked off still talking about it.
245 miles today, the most #ElectricVehicle driving I've done in a day. Plenty for me, if not a lot by some folks' standard. One 20 minute charge. Easy peasy.
