MonitorLizard is great. Makes it so much easier to keep track of PRs and CI status every day.
My WRX is in the shop for a check engine light. It threw the same code as it did 3 months ago when I supposedly had it fixed. The shop looked at it for a couple of days and still can’t find the problem.
Only thing left to do is pull the engine and check all the timing components they can’t get to with it in the car.
Been planning to buy a new car sometime this year, but was hoping the kids could learn to drive on this one. Here’s hoping the fix is reasonable and that can still happen.
Just saw the Studio Display XDR. $3300 for a 5K 27” display? No thanks. The brightness, mini-LED pixels, and 120Hz are nice, but there are tons of other options with similar features for a third of the cost.
I bought the Pro Display XDR years ago. It was outrageously expensive, but at the time it was the only 6K display on the market (and had a 32” size to match). That extra resolution and size made it worth it to me. I’m kind of surprised that Apple is replacing it with a smaller model.
I updated Seasonality Core to version 2.9 to fix Particle Mode (to use the new Grib Filter server that Seasonality Pro now uses). I removed it for sale from the App Store, so you can download it free from the website directly:

I gotta say, it feels liberating to be distributing Seasonality outside the App Store again. No more stressing about App Review.
I haven't mentioned this here yet, but last month I decided to walk away from Seasonality after working on the apps for more than 2 decades.
The problem was, the primary data source from Seasonality Pro was going offline a month after I made the decision to walk away.
Here's the story about how Claude Code saved the day and allowed me to replace an entire data layer in 8 days instead of 8 weeks.
With 1Password’s price increase, I’ll likely start looking for another solution. It’d be one thing if it would reliably fill out password fields, but half the time it doesn’t even work. The price increase just gave me the extra push I needed to find something else.
Sean 'Sharky' McMainsToday I'm soft-launching LiveGig, a web-based tool to help live musicians handle requests. I've spent a good spell using it myself and incorporating input from my test users. I'm delighted to finally be opening the doors to any bands or individual musicians who want to try it out.
It's free to start with some generous usage limits, so try it out or share it with your favorite band! https://www.livegig.app
I had to step away from social media for a while, just due to it being a constant reminder of all the hate in our country right now. Now I’m back, with carefully crafted filters.
So far, it’s been better, but apologies if any of my future posts come across as tone deaf. I care, but I also need to self care.
James ThomsonI knew you could change the brightness of the iPhone torch from the Dynamic Island. I did _not_ know you could change the shape of the beam!
