Done. I exported my ChatGPT memory to Claude. I’m curious to see how Claude’s answers to my prompts will change from now on. Starting March 12th, I’ll be on Anthropic / Claude AI only.

Currently assessing the impacts of unsubscribing from ChatGPT. Image creation is the most obvious impact, but I rarely use it. I could switch to MidJourney for a third of the monthly price. API consumption is another factor, but none of my four API keys have been used in the last 30 days. According to Claude AI’s examination of my current n8n workflows, three are configured with an OpenAI API key. Investigating further.

You might have noticed more linkposts than usual here today. The reason is that I’m testing this new RSS thing in Micro.blog… or part of Micro.blog future offering. It’s pretty solid.

Flickr’s URL Scheme:

Flickr deserves a lot of praise for a number of technical advances that I wish had seen wider adoption. Their API was one of the first and honestly still one of the most enjoyable to actually use as a developer. It’s still full of incredibly interesting API calls that you wouldn’t expect from it unless you read carefully. Did you know, for example, that flickr API will provide you with the bounding box co-ordinates of different types of places? From a neighbourhood all the way up to a continent?

Maybe one day, Glass will add these, too?

Why Objective-C:

Anyone new to Objective-C thinks it’s difficult and maybe a bit harsh because [[those squareBrackets] lookInsane:YES].

Once you get past that, which takes a day or two given a good-faith effort, you’ll realize how small a language it is, how easy to hold in your palm and turn around and understand all sides of it. And you’ll appreciate how easy it is to make good decisions when you don’t have a surplus of language features to choose from.

I had many great moments writing in Objective-C (2009-2013) while experimenting with iPhone app development. As someone who learned a bit of C++ in university computer science courses, I thought Objective-C was indeed more approachable. When I peek at Swift code these days, my thinking goes like this: “I’m too old for this shit!”

It’s sad to see the US act of war against Iran, a sovereign country, with the help of their “friends” from Israel. The cherry on the sundae: Russia condemning US aggression. Look who is talking… 😤 What a world we are living right now… nothing new but… still.

I would love to build the dream bookmark manager for myself, just like I built an RSS reader and a photo-sharing website. I love AnyBox, but it’s not integrated with the rest of my workflow and doesn’t have a web version. This bookmark manager could be integrated into my RSS reader and gather data from Micro.blog Bookmarks, too. Still a lot to think about.
