Finished reading: The Dragon Waiting by John M. Ford 📚
Good read, but my ignorance of the historical era fictionalized took a bit of fun out of it.
A combination of a dataset with empty string vs null issue and poorly written case-when-else query just made me spend 4 hours debugging an ETL. Not sure if proud of my brilliance, or aware I’m a monkey that randomly wrote a Shakespearean SQL query.
Really enjoying my new Keychron K7 with brown switches. Only used it with iPad, but size feels as (more?) natural as the K3v1. For sure the K1 at the office will go on sale soon – what got me started this rabbit hole, but too classically large.
Apple Studio Display arrived on time, woohoo!!! Box of VESA version is smaller than the regular stand box, woohoo!! Smaller box still doesn’t fit on my biggest suitcase, crap!

Overall enjoying it, but taking longer than expected with it.
MIA weekend.
Happy April 1st. Friendly reminder that all the 2022Q1 projects delivery dates you put in an email last year – are now officially late.
This The Verge article about Wyze Cams vulnerability made me remove two v3 cams from my cart. I was planning to rotate a couple of old ones we have, but being opaque about a known issue is not worth savings of their cameras.
Sometimes I wish Apple would name its apps with more personality. It imposible to parse search results for Mac Shortcuts Symlinks, from thousands of aliases and shortcuts results. When I want to know how to save a file to a Symlink in Apple Shortcuts app folder structure.
We’ve come full circle. There’s now support for Markdown in Google Docs.
Love the idea of apps like FT Edit and The Economist Espresso. Will be trying the Financial Times one for sure.
Back on eesel Chrome plugin with their new Folders feature.
Great forum thread on Obsidian Hotkeys. Good place to get ideas from.
Looking Back at Desktop Monitors

The AfterShokz OpenComm had become unusable because they kept muting themselves in calls. This Apple Forum suggestion seems to alleviate the problem. However, it does seem to be a Monterey bug.
A great concert is one where you leave liking the band even more #ColdplaySanJose
Hope tomorrow is Mac Studio and Studio Display review day.
With Pipe Commands extension RayCast approaches Alfred’s Universal Actions. However, RayCast Github Issues extension is so good, it’s my main interface to issues and notifications now.
Debating if I should setup Python3 on Mac or just do a VM Linux for it. I use the scripts occasionally, but usually it’s a quick and dirty hack with little regard for security. And always end having to update a bunch of packages when I revisit.
Universal Control is pretty amazing.
