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.
