I really don’t get this insistence by some Apple bloggers on referring to the iPhone 15 lineup as iPhones 15. It’s iPhone 15s, just as it’s MacBook Pros and not MacBooks Pro.
The October Declaration – British Friends of Israel
Signed. It feels feeble, but Israel holds a special place in my heart. It is not perfect, but one of the most important moments in my life happened there and Jewish people deserve to be safe in their homeland.
When I updated to Sonoma I switched off Alfred and decided to give Spotlight a go. It hasn’t stuck so I’m giving Recast another go.
New ink day! Just as the weather turns cold and autumn truly starts to arrive I have my new autumn pen and ink setup. 🖋️
The Royal Mint has released its designs for a new set of coins, the first since the accession of King Charles. I think they are an outstanding piece of design.
My parents bought me a Travellers Notebook for my birthday and I love it. Feels and smells amazing. 🖊️📔
I stand with Israel 🇮🇱

First visit to the gym done. 35 minutes on a bike, 5 minutes on a treadmill. 🥵
It’s decided, once Sonoma is released I’m going to give Reminders a real crack at managing my tasks.
I’m already a big fan of stand by mode on the iPhone. I really want it on my iPad now.
I think I’m going to finally make the move from 1Password to the built in Apple password manager this year.
Derek Kedziora neatly sums up The Hidden Complexity of Static Sites and why I decided to move back to Wordpress. It’s just easier and integrates with a lot things without having to jump through a load of hoops.
Adding the archive
Sunday, September 17, 2023
I’ve begun the long process of adding in some of my old posts from previous iterations of this site. My apologies if this triggers a load of posts in your RSS. I’m working backwards, and I’ve now added all the posts from 2023 and 2022. It will be a slow process as I’ve decided to add each post manually, importing from the markdown file I have saved. Initially I am just adding the more formal posts but may go back and add all the link posts I’ve made at some point.

I would really like the lock screen widgets on the homescreen of my iPad as well.

So the Apple website doesn’t sell leather iPhone 14 Pro cases anymore… might make a trip to an Apple Store this weekend to pick one up before they are all gone.
These photos from 2023 Ocean Photographer of the Year competition are amazing. I particularly like the one of the polar bear and the hump back whale but all of them show fascinating glimpses into the life of the ocean.
Just discovered they made a version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2 for the PS4. Very tempted to buy that. I used to play Tony Hawk 2, as we called it, when I was in my mid teens.
One month back on Wordpress
Friday, August 18, 2023
It’s been about one month since I restarted my blog back on Wordpress. I say restarted rather than moved because so far I’ve yet to add all my old posts to the archive, something I still plan to do, but which I’ve yet to find the time for. The change was triggered by a combination of things, but the chief ones were ease of posting and familiarity. I used Wordpress for well over a decade on this blog and a number of other websites I’ve built over the years.
