Day #1 of my Ghost experiment. Simple CMS. Well designed. A bit desoriented at first, coming from WordPress. No iOS / iPadOS app. Not good.  macOS app not really native. Relies on Zapier for basic cross-posting stuff. 

Nothing more to add.

Just finished consolidating all my blogger workflow updates on a single page. You can find it here: [numericcitizen.me/about/how...](https://numericcitizen.me/about/how-is-it-done/)

Contemplating Ghost as an alternative to what I’m currently using and … this critical vulnerability impacting all of their services is not very a good first contact.

My blogger workflow just got updated. [numericcitizen.me/2020/05/0...](https://numericcitizen.me/2020/05/02/my-updated-blogger-workflow-as-of-2020-05/)

When I go for a walk my mostly empty city, thanks to the long lasting confinement, I see many lines in front of different grocery stores. These are unfamiliar scenes for us. It reminds me of when I was a young child. It was at the height of the cold war. At that time, medias were portraying communism as the bad guys. I cannot count how many times I saw in the news, scenes from USSR of people waiting in front of grocery stores to get a few vegetables and bread. Continue reading →

Berlin, July of 1945. Devastation. These remastered movies are always poignant.

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 Elgato’s Key Light to arrive.. still no delivery date… 

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

Liking this a lot. But, I upgraded to the iPhone 11 Pro last fall. I’ll probably wait next year. 

Thought of the day, from Francisco Tolmasky on Twitter: 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 doesn’t 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? Continue reading →

Well, at first glance, Apple’s financial numbers are pretty solid, considering the current situation. Services and wearables are shining. The future is uncertain. Apple didn’t provide any guidance which is expected I guess. It could have been much worst as experts and pundits were expecting lower numbers.  Continue reading →

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. I’m currently testing the whole process as I write this. Posts are inserted in Draft mode so I can release them as I wish. If it works as expected, I’ll 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 doesn’t work. IFTTT is having issues creating the post as draft. I don’t know why. On top of that, I’m afraid of creating a loop as my posts on WordPress are automatically cross-posted to Micro.blog. 😅

(xpost)

Up until now, I didn’t want to have my posts on **Micro.blog** to show up on my main blog on **WordPress**. But since I’m posting ten times more here than on my main blog, I have a feeling my readers are missing a lot. So, starting today, I’s starting a small experiment. Some of my posts here will be cross-posted to my main blog with the help of IFTTT. I’ll see where this goes. Continue reading →

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. ]

Last day of April. Time to look back at this month's stats. It was a great month for 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, I’m faring much much better on Medium. Continue reading →

Another iOS 13.5 Beta Tweak: An Option to Disable ‘Automatic Prominence’ for the Current Speaker’s Tile in Group FaceTime daringfireball.net/linked/20…

As documented in my blog post: on why FaceTime is losing, The upcoming iOS 13.5 release will address one of the major complain about Group FaceTime: variable prominence. The upcoming release will allow users to disable this feature allow for fixed tile size. #apple #facetime 

That is my feeling too. #apple #ipadpro #magickeyboard
