I don’t know that my personal Office subscription on is worth a $30 price increase. I really don’t use it and definitely won’t use whatever AI garbage they add.
Drupal CMS 1.0 looks like it could be a good replacement for Wordpress if I need to move some sites because of the Wordpress drama.
Went to my parents’ house for the first time since my mom died last week. It was hard. My dad is doing okay, but it’s still really hard on him. I catch myself thinking about telling my mom something next time I see her at least once a day before I remember she’s gone.
Instead of troubleshooting the iCloud on Windows thing on my own for multiple days, I should have just called them. 5 minutes on the phone with them and it’s resolved. Problem was I was signing in with the icloud.com domain but my original Apple ID is a me.com domain.
I’ve tried every single suggestion the internet has provided to get iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos to work on my Windows 11 machine. I think I’ve given up at this point. How does Apple even release this?
At this point, it’s really embarrassing that Proton does not have a Drive app for Linux. Doesn’t look like it’s even on the roadmap for 2025.

I watched Saturday Night last night. I really liked it. I would watch a mini series about that first year at SNL.
I cannot get Windows shares working for some reason. I often need to share files across the network and across Windows, Linux, and macOS. Discovered LocalSend. Or should I say rediscovered. Apparently, I downloaded it at some point a long time ago.
I can understand why Windows users hate Apple. Have you ever tried getting iCloud Drive or Photos to work on Windows 11? I have never gotten past the Initializing state.
In September, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that spread to her liver. It was her birthday.
At 8:58 tonight I said goodbye to my mom. She was the best mom. I can’t imagine the rest of my life without her in it. There will be a big hole.
Testing out Spark as my primary email app on iOS and iPadOS. I used it a long time ago but dont remember why I stopped. So far, I’m getting new emails instantly. Mail.app would be so delayed despite having push enabled.
Ordered some new vinyl. Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams, Chappell Roan and Dr. Dre. One of these things is not like the other.
A Taskmaster New Years Treat? Please and thank you.
The iOS Mail app barely works these days. Maybe it’s time to look at alternative apps again. What are the best mail apps now? Need imap and, unfortunately, gmail support.
While waiting forever in an Apple Store I’m going to start taking iPhones off their stands to see how long it takes another employee to fix. First one lasted 2 minutes.
You know when you purchase something and instantly know you’re old?
Upgraded my phone (on Apple’s annual upgrade program) in person at the Apple Store today. That was a mistake. I somehow still have my old phone and will need to eventually drive all the way back there to return it because the moron helping me had no idea what he was doing.
Finally catching up on season 2 of Shrinking. I really think this might be the best show on tv with the best ensemble cast.
The mail app in iOS and iPadOS keeps getting worse but, unfortunately, it’s still the best for my needs. I just wish it updated reliably.
