Today we go back to work and school after a long winter’s holiday. I’m not particularly ready, but am resolved to work on some elements of focus and persistence to keep myself and my team getting done what needs doing.
Inside blogball technical note: using Drafts along with the new, better-integrated photo upload and posting method I put together this weekend is game-changing. I underestimated, in part, how absolutely great it would be to have a cross-platform scratch pad that hooks everything together so well.
Me thanking my wife for the delicious GF banana bread she made while I was running errands.
Today’s experiment with my last.fm data is this clock-like display of my peak listening hours across time. All of these would be really fun to integrate into more Shiny-based toys – maybe that will be next on my list.
It’s the final slow morning of this long winter’s holiday. I’m warming up the coffee machine and writing down some notes from the last day and day ahead. Tomorrow, this slow calm is replaced by going back to work.
Apropos of just sitting here with it tinkering things in with RStudio, this M1 MacBook Pro still feels extraordinarily good, a month+ in.
It was a pretty chilly morning here (that temp in Fahrenheit)! And we don’t look likely to reach that forecast high, either.
MacOS/Shortcuts folks: Can I send a photo to a shortcut via quick actions? I can run the action in a shortcut to pop up the little picker, but can’t figure out if there’s a way to do it from within Photos itself. I want to be looking at an image, run an action, and send that image to a workflow. I think I’m mistaken in believing that this should work.
There is still a pretty good tape and baling wire aspect of it, but I’m pretty pleased to have put together a nicely-working revision to my photo posting, using a MacOS shortcut to upload photos to my media endpoint and output their destination URLs to a list that I can grab from in Drafts to compose and post. It was nice learning for a Saturday, too.
