On this day

Posts on and around this day (Sep 28):

2026-09-27 / I was a big fan of the original CONTROL, so am happy to see its sequel, CONTROL Resonant, hit release. These posters on this wreck of an old building in town are an interestingly on-point representation for the game!
2026-09-25 / Future note to self after two hours of cleaning up old, no longer needed files on the Synology: The reason Time Machine reports that it doesn’t have enough room to perform a backup, even though 1+ TB suggest that it clearly does, is because the Time Machine user account has hit its quota, but TM doesn’t know about the user quota so won’t delete old backups to make room.
2024-09-29 / Making a big pot of soup and listening to John Prine on a Sunday night, things are alright. I miss John Prine, though.
2024-09-28 / Weeknotes IV
2023-10-01 / Back in the flickr era, this was referred to as “autumny nature crap season,” and we loved it.
2023-10-01 / I played the demo of Lamplighters League yesterday. It’s a fun mix of real-time stealth and turn-based tactics that looks like a great adventure in the full game. The demo is available for another couple of days, so consider checking it out, gamers!
2023-09-30 / One more photo post today: A moment from a photo walk around town a couple of weekends ago. I really liked this bit of inside/outside downtown life on an early autumn day.
2023-09-30 / I spent some time today rewriting a shortcut that uploads images to the media endpoint I use for my blog. It now covers all my core use cases of converting HEICs where needed and resizing images that are too big. I’m super pleased at these improvements, and am still impressed that it works on both my desktop and iPhone, but also – oof, working in shortcuts still feels unintuitive and clunky so often.
2023-09-30 / Fall colors are spreading across this little valley.
2022-09-25 / I was a little worried that either upstream bandwidth or firewall nonsense would make it hard to use the new Arc app with my home Roon setup. I’m super pleased to find it basically seamless in my case! After enabling it on my system and not touching a single network setting, I listened to a bunch of music from my Roon server while out running errands today. I had no buffering, dropouts or stuttering.
2022-09-25 / Gunnison is ever watchful for things that may need to be barked at.
2022-09-25 / I thought the first couple of episodes of Andor did a little too much table-setting at not quite enough speed. But episode three was sharp and exciting, and brought together a more complex story about occupation and resistance than any of the Star Wars films have really done before. I hope they keep it up.
2020-09-26 / The documentation and process of trying to inherit a backblaze backup on a new Mac is a special kind of terrible thing. I haven’t been this stabby in a long time.
2020-09-26 / Rapidly developing strong negative feelings about the Touch Bar.
2019-09-30 / Hello new human I have brought you this artifact.
2019-09-28 / Went downtown for brunch. Came home with an Australian shepherd named Nova. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
2019-09-28 / 🎮 And speaking of games, Destiny’s Shadowkeep expansion launches Tuesday, so this weekend I’ll mostly be playing Inventory Management to reduce my vault to a manageable size in anticipation of loads of new loot.
2019-09-25 / Just one more level of Grindstone, I’ve been telling myself all night.
2018-09-28 / It’s 2018 and Apple Music still can’t properly play a live album without mixing it up with studio tracks.
2018-09-28 / This cascade of reboot-required windows updates is really putting a dent in my Friday afternoon work momentum, which was already pretty significantly unhurried.
2018-09-27 / From the commute cam: it’s just starting to look like autumn up on the mountain.
2015-09-30 / My Weekend Rabbit Hole: I Made an App
