As the confinement end is not near yet, some improvements are needed in my home office. First thing, getting a better chair. Done today. Next up, lighting. Still waiting for my delivery of Elgatoās Key Light to arrive.. still no delivery dateā¦Ā

Is Apple subsidizing iPhone SE pricing with services revenues from some sort of expected services consumption by its owner?Ā

You don't have to love the iPad
Thought of the day, from Francisco Tolmasky on Twitter:Ā
The frustrating thing about the iPad is that I constantly feel that I need to be buying into a philosophy
Well said. For me, it doesnāt represent an issue. I love to buy into this philosophy because it is different, delightful. His tweet, one is a series is interesting. But, one the following ones, things get just wrong:
Propping iPad up at a *good* angle? Pay $350 for a cover that prevents you from using it like a book anymore.
I donāt get it. Remove the iPad from its keyboard and voilĆ ! Simple. And this:
the iPad is now a worse tablet with the Magic Keyboard. It kind of sucks for typing in bed compared to the software keyboard, and itās unusable for reading since it doesnāt flip around like a true cover.
What? Can someone explain him that he can remove the iPad from the keyboard when he goes to bed at night? This thread just feel ātrolly". The iPad is obviously not for him but he doesnāt know it yet.Ā

Is Apple doomed now?
Well, at first glance, Appleās financial numbers are pretty solid, considering the current situation. Services and wearables are shining. The future is uncertain. Apple didnāt provide any guidance which is expected I guess. It could have been much worst as experts and pundits were expecting lower numbers.Ā

Let's try this again!
Well, cross-posting from MB to WP with IFTTT is a no go. Now, testing a much cleaner solution, a WP plugin which allow a better control over what is imported and how it is inserted into WP. Iām currently testing the whole process as I write this. Posts are inserted in Draft mode so I can release them as I wish.Ā
If it works as expected, Iāll be able to keep my main blog in sync with very specific content that I put here with minimal efforts.
-
Well, cross-posting from Micro.blog to WordPress via IFTTT doesnāt work. IFTTT is having issues creating the post as draft. I donāt know why. On top of that, Iām afraid of creating a loop as my posts on WordPress are automatically cross-posted to Micro.blog. š

Starting a small experiment
Up until now, I didnāt want to have my posts on **Micro.blog** to show up on my main blog on **WordPress**. But since Iām posting ten times more here than on my main blog, I have a feeling my readers are missing a lot. So, starting today, Iās starting a small experiment. Some of my posts here will be cross-posted to my main blog with the help of IFTTT. Iāll see where this goes.
Iām sill undecided on the cross-post format: full content replication or just linked-post.

-
One quick question: is it possible to cross-post from Micro.blog to my WordPress blog?
[Update: I think I have to use IFTTT, something that I already use a lot. ]

Still far from fully recovered from Google's search algorithm changes of last November
Last day of April. Time to look back at this month's stats. It was a great month for Ā my main blog visitors but still far away of full recovery of the big Google search crash of last November. I wonder if I will every recover from it, despite all my efforts to write fewer but longer and higher quality posts. On a brighter side, Iām faring much much better on Medium. (xpost)

The Internet in 2020. Can you see the problem? I donāt know what they think when they ādesignā these web sites butā¦ and what you donāt see is a giant popup pushed on you taking over the only portion of actual information. GTFO of these sites, fast.Ā

Just Made an Unexpected Discovery
Oh. My. God. š³š How on earth I wasnāt aware about this great utility for macOS: CleanShot X? Fully featured, cleanly designed, with a lot of use cases for me. A cross between Appleās builtin screen capture and Screencast. Instant buy.
Side note: I never bought that many apps since the beginning of the great confinement. Second side note: it isnāt an ad. š¤·š»āāļø CleanShot X for Mac

A great summary of Ulysses version 19 release by MacStories. As a blogger, Iām loving Ulysses more and more. š Ulysses 19 Brings iPad Cursor Support, External Folders, Material Sheets, and More - MacStories

Speaking of iPadOS 13.4 with pointer support… my favourite writing app Ulysses just received an update. Using the trackpad to swipe left and right to show or hide panes is brilliant. š„°
-
Using LumaFusion with the Magic Keyboard is really cool but I canāt wait for the updated version that takes advantage of the trackpad. Oh and editing 4K videos on an iPad Pro is incredibly fast! š

The Magic Keyboard makes me want a bigger iPad. But at the same time I know I would miss the smaller size. Oh well.
