Out of curiosity, yesterday I asked ChatGPT what the latest firmware release was for my Nikon Z f camera: 3.0 (it was at 1.21)! I applied the 110 mb binary update right on time for my upcoming trip. Yes, I know, my camera needs a little cleanup, too.
Thinking about the upcoming trip to Egypt, I realized I still didn’t have a good solution for sharing photos and comments beyond the usual social networks. Drawing on my experience from the past few weeks deploying web applications on Vercel, I decided to try the same by building a website for sharing and viewing photos. The additional complexity here is that the viewing portion is separate from the photo upload section. Therefore, I need to protect this feature with a password. Additionally, image storage must be optimized to minimize costs and provide a pleasant, flexible viewing experience. I’m using Vercel-only blog storage and Redis for metadata store.
In less than 2 hours, I built a fully functional application with Claude Code and Vercel. Impressive.
How long will it take Apple to fix the Apple Watch setup process involving restoring from previous backups? It’s been an issue for many people for years! My setup process when I upgraded from Series 6 to Series 8 was hindered by this issue. Same when I upgraded from Series 8 to Series 10. Either the backup found wasn’t recent, or there was no backup to restore from. Michael Tsai is one such person. Anyone at Apple is setting up a new watch? 🤔
First visit to the new Ste-Catherine Apple Store in downtown Montreal. It’s quite a different vibe than the previous store. More to come in a short article.
On the impossibly thin iPhone Air, the camera protuberant area acts like a place to help secure the phone in my hand using my finger.
The end of an era.
Doing multitasking on the iPad mini is… really? 🤷🏻♂️ Who is actually doing this?
I completed implementing automated backups of all my n8n workflows to GitHub and documenting their triggering times in a compact format using Claude AI. The backup workflow is based on a template found in the n8n community.
Tomorrow, I’m planning to visit Apple’s new Ste-Catherine store in downtown Montreal. From the outside, it certainly looks much better than the previous store on the same street, 100 m further west. I don’t plan to buy anything; I just want to look at the architectural details, the crowd, and the mood. Expect some photos and maybe a short video.
Digg is finally in public beta. They also introduced a refreshed design (compared to what was available during the private beta), and I think it’s way better. Also introduced are user-defined communities. It’s currently limited to two per user, which I think is fair. This is my profile. I was looking to create a community, only to realize I was about to dilute myself again. My community is here.
