Running your business is like a 50k race and Finding Nemo
by
Sept 15th I ran my second 50km race, commonly called an Ultra Marathon because it’s longer than a marathon. Unfortunately this year I fell off a cliff at the end of July and messed up my ankle. That meant I was coming in to the race with two months of mostly no training. I had…
Better Blocker keeps you private
by
Better Blocker updated for iOS 12 and macOS Mojave. I use it on iOS and since I’m iOS first that’s mostly what matters for me. So much tracking and you can stop a bunch of it with Better Blocker
If you’re wondering about new iPhones
by
Then The Sweet Setup has a review. I still don’t think that the new iPhones provide much value though. Certainly not over $1000 of value. So that leaves me maybe looking at Android. Unfortunately it seems I may have to spend a bunch just to get a phone where they keep up with security updates…
Apple Watch Series 4 – Why Not Just Disconnet?
by
Where Patrick was excited about this final paragraph in Shawn’s article, I’m wondering why we can’t just disconnect? It allows me to leave my smartphone at home but still be reachable by text or phone (and I can still stream music to my bluetooth AirPods if I’m at the gym or driving the CJ), but…
Taking Full WebPage Screenshots in iOS
by
Some of the writing I do requires full page screenshots of webpages. It was reasonably easy to get these on macOS in any number of ways, but it took me a while to figure it out in iOS. It’s funny it took so long because the solution was really simple. Like many iOS solutions, taking…
Professional Jobs are Less Secure Than Everyone Told Us
by
According to Global News, spending a bunch of time in University or College, then doing a bunch of low paid/maybe unpaid internship work will not mean that you get the reward you were promised. Whether you are a teacher, an engineer, or social worker, it doesn’t matter you’re more likely to be a contract worker…
The Features I’m Excited about in iOS 12
by
This is not a full breakdown of iOS 12. If you want that go read MacStories, I’ll see you in a few hours. Screen Time With the addition of Screen Time we’re going to see how many times we really touch our phones in the day. One day while I was trying to move some…
More Goodness in Ferrite for iOS
by
I read this and yes I’ll be purchasing the update to Ferrite. The only reason I haven’t is that I run my business on Profit First and it’s not pay day so I don’t have expenses in my expense account. That means on Sept 25th I’ll make the purchase. Unfortunately, I still don’t see the…
Alternatives to Evernote
by
This post on DEVONthink and Notebooks as an alternative to Evernote got me thinking again about what I do. Here is a quick rundown of what I tried. DEVONthink for iOS and macOS I tried this and there is so much to love about it. The “trial” mode felt really weird at first, but in…
Freelance Friday 024 – Sept 21 2018
by
Only one more week until we move and I’m excited. Not excited about the work to move, but that I get my own office in the house that’s not a bedroom. I’ve had an office before, but it was a 5km commute and with kid logistics it stopped working. Now I can do the good…
