On paying for software
There is a lot of push back about software subscriptions these days it seems. But we should remember about past scams with promised updates for paid software that never came. So many examples of “significant” updates that are merely excuses to charge the user base again. There is no perfect and definitive solutions when it comes to pay for software. It is a matter of trust between the developer and the users or potential customers. Continue reading →

On Gruber on Flexibits on Subscription Pricing
Well, it sounds like he is trying to justify the new and more expansive subscription model for Flexibits and Fantastical. For me, it does take much more than fancy animations to justify the price they ask. A working Apple Watch would help. Daring Fireball: Federico Viticci’s Review of the New Fantastical Continue reading →

Do many things, so,little time
Here is one of my problems: I don’t have enough time in a day to write about all the things I’d like to post here and on my main blog. So many things I would like to write about. One such thing is about my blogger workflow (what tools do I use and why, what platforms, etc.). 🤷🏻♂️ Continue reading →

Learning new things about micro.blog everyday.
Just found out why for longer posts (> 280 characters) a title field shows up while editing my blog post. Nice touch. One thing though, I’d like to have the post categories always shown instead of having to hit the ellipsis button each time. Consider this a feature request. 🙋🏻♂️ Continue reading →

iPadOS Upcoming Multitasking Feature Mockup
This iPadOS multitasking mockup is what Apple should try to do in the next major release. Better yet, I would implement it as a “pinch to merge” two apps when they are close together. If they are far apart, then tap and hold on one app, tap and slide over the other like on the mockup here is good! #apple #iPadOS twitter.com/orange_ki… Continue reading →

Aperture. Made by Apple. For Apple users. This was the time when they were serious about photography. They could have made a version for the iPad. But they dropped the ball. Adobe came in with their multi-platform solution, neither optimized for Apple Continue reading →

As a njmeric citizen, an Apple citizen I might say, there is a very simple way now to get your data from Apple. Follow this guide. Google offers the same. Now it is easier than ever to know what they know about us. Now, the next step will be to help people designate others that should be allowed to get access the data once we pass away.

«There is quite a lot of buzz these days about the possibility of creating our own watch face on the Apple Watch. Currently, this feature is not available to Apple Watch owners but a few clever guys on the internet did experiment with tools to create ones. And the possibilities are endless. And quite exciting too. There is something sterile and compromising about choosing your watch face out of a fixed set of options. Continue reading →

Tonight I was watching TV. There was so many ads. One particular ad got my attention. This was an ad about a car. In order to show how cool the car is, how useful it can be to its users, there a scene where the driver uses Siri to send a message to his wife saying he is way home. A flawless experience. We can see Siri animated waves and the audio feedback, something known to a lot of people. Continue reading →

Going To The (abandoned) Church.
These were taken while doing urban exploration with friends downtown Montreal, Canada. Many churches are agonizing here… some pictures are from an iPhone 7, others from my Nikon D750 processed with HDR technique. Continue reading →
