Current status: sitting in the wrong conference room, spouting invective about all the people who weren’t there on time. 🤦♂️

Signed up for SwiftLeeds this year. Looking forward to my first time at that conference, and to visiting the UK once again. (Hoping to combine it with hiking the West Highland Way in Scotland while I'm over that way…)
I've updated MonitorLizard, my tool for keeping an eye on GitHub Pull Requests. The new release fixes a freeze during scrolling, adds notarization and Sparkle updates so that you no longer have to mess with downloading the source to use it.
Today I'm soft-launching LiveGig, a web-based tool to help live musicians handle requests. I've spent a good spell using it myself and incorporating input from my test users. I'm delighted to finally be opening the doors to any bands or individual musicians who want to try it out.
It's free to start with some generous usage limits, so try it out or share it with your favorite band! https://www.livegig.app
Noticed today that the concierge at our hotel was named “Claude”. Seemed apt.
Great to see nuclear micro-reactors — safe, clean, reliable energy — continuing to make strides, and plans in place for an on-base installation in San Antonio. I wonder if I know anyone who could get me a tour. 😀 https://sanantonioreport.org/air-force-joint-base-san-antonio-nuclear-micro-reactor/

@chrismo Not yet, but I'll add it if you don't submit a PR first!
Happy Ibuprofen and Hydration Day to all who celebrate.

@mikepj I just learned so much about you. (I'd somehow been oblivious to Seasonality/Gaucho until now. Also subscribed to your blog.)
Also, less tangentially: Good article!

Great to see some excellent, new design thinking about how RSS readers should function! My reading currently lives in Readwise Reader, but man…this might convince me to switch.

@mikepj my wife and I have pretty frequent discussions around where the optimal/healthy balance between engagement and disengagement lies.

@isaiah@mastodon.social Ugh, sorry you're having to deal with that.
Since my gallbladder and I parted ways, I've never looked back. Hope she's able to get a quick and decisive resolution to the issues.

@collin@ruby.social Doximity just opened an iOS position. Let me know if you're keen; happy to answer questions and/or drop in a referral.

Is using your computer not a ridiculous enough experience? I got inspired recently to build an onscreen AI companion that uses Apple Intelligence or a vision-capable Ollama model to watch what you're doing on your Mac and provide ongoing commentary. 18 available personalities currently. I'd be glad for your input and ideas.
You can download or contribute to Servo here:

- Adds the ability to locally change the display name of a PR you are watching
Oh, interesting! The offhanded idea that I had a while back about replacing resumes with RPG-style character sheets is (at least partially) realized in Wasteland, Steve Yegge's latest project for coordinating large-scale development work: https://steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-the-wasteland-a-thousand-gas-towns-a5eb9bc8dc1f

@mikepj I switched to Apple Passwords a while back and have been fairly happy with it.
However, have you considered this? https://support.1password.com/link-family/

@designatednerd Great question. From what I understand, while the fuel itself is less volatile than that in large-scale reactors, the "hey, you _really_ might not want to go near that mountain over there" approach to long-term disposal is still pretty much the state of the art. So, perhaps "clean" was a bit of a overstatement on my part. (Still, better than many of the current alternatives!)

@agiletortoise@mastodon.social I think this has to do with available stock; if they've got a glut of SUVs in the lot, they'll offer you a deal.
Replying to
@agiletortoise@mastodon.social Hah! Also true.
