Apple Music just added a thing in iOS 26.4 where they look at your favourite musicians and tell you about concerts nearby, and it has cost me £80 already.
What could go wrong?
Remind me in 6 years, 2 months, and 23 days, to post that the date of the first episode of Doctor Who being broadcast is closer to the date of the original publication of The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, than it is to the present day.
Thanks to @jamesthomson for demonstrating contactless / Apple Watch support on the Glasgow Subway on day one of operation.

Once again, Pi Day rolls around, and once again I forget to actually do anything substantial to promote PCalc.

Even worse, I added Tau in the latest releases, and the Pi people and the Tau people have been at war for decades. Don't ask…

But the current iOS version is 3.14.x and so Pi wins for today!

Some updates to my PCalc scientific calculator!

Consider this the "new features that should have shipped last year" release. Includes some frequently requested things like woodworking fractions, support for the Indian numbering system for separators, and three new conversion categories, "Flow Rate", "Jewelry", and "Typography".

I've also tried to unify a lot of features that were only on iOS, or only on the Mac.

Enjoy!

So many apps waiting for review!

It's still cold, but the sun is finally beginning to shine. What you really need in this confusing weather is a matching embroidered PCalc beanie and a t-shirt!

Some new products in the extensive PCalc and Dice by PCalc merch range are available now at http://pcalc.fun!

I'm no artist, but hopefully this gets the point across. A comic in three panels.
