Zoinks! Goodbye #bootcamp on #macOS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg9F1Qjv3iU&feature=youtu.be&t=3772

(although actually I'm fairly thrilled by this development to be honest...)

Trying to get #macOS #BigSur working in VMWare Fusion is all kinds of painful. And long winded. And annoying. And unreliable. At least so far. I can't wait for the new VMWare Tech preview... https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/06/23/vmware-fusion-announces-macos-big-sur-compatible-tech-preview

#tootRadio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1fGNCvZL_w in honour of the new version of #macOS - #bigsur

Went to a #virtualConference (albeit months ago...) and finally got around to writing about it... https://blog.quirke.org/okta/oktane/conferences/newnormal/2020/06/17/post.html #Okta #oktane2020 #newnormal

Finally decided to investigate why my raspberry Pi webserver has stopped responding... I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 1635628 - she's dead Jim... :( #ex-nginx

Apple's #WWDC is coming... and apparently you'll want this app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/apple-developer/id640199958 to make the most of it. I'm really excited I get to "attend" this year. (who needs sleep anyway?)

#TIL - I can open a terminal window from within VIM using the :term command - and then typing exit kills the terminal session and takes you back to VIM. Smart!

Hey #TootWorks - it's been a while... so I left my home office and lived to tell the tale... https://blog.quirke.org/helix/london/newham/covid/lockdown/2020/05/26/post.html

#til - I'd been working with python internationalisation code (trying to remind myself how it works!) and finally googled what i18n means... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization -

code is daft (or should I say d2t?) sometimes...

Is it bad if, when prompted to stand by my #AppleWatch - I use that as a nudge to wander over to the kitchen in search of chocolate? 🍫 #2020Goals

So... I'm (almost alone) in the office today... and this springs to mind

Happy Holidays all :)

OMG... I can use my Macbook's touch ID as an #Okta second factor... I'm living in the future! ThoughtWorkers - check your Okta settings page if you want to do the same :)

It's one of those afternoons where it's all about #Trogdor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gz1DIIxmEE

Yes, I am eating chocolate to counter balance the Diet Coke I'm drinking... what of it? (at least it's not RedBull...)

Blast from the past...

#tootradio (I reviewed this album for a student newspaper more years ago than I'd like to admit...)

And then I FIXED it :D

Jury rigged the #hue lights I got at Christmas (yes, I know I know...) and my home office basement is transformed! Who needs daylight anyway???

So, I updated my Mac to #Catalina and now it kernel panics every 15 minutes or so... :( How was your Thursday?
