  1. A rather nice morning of a Spring day, then becoming cloudy for the rest of the day. 
  2. My wife is talking about new ideas for the main bathroom remodeling. It's hard to concentrate. 😆
  3. It's a YouTube recording weekend: what's up with Micro.blog, edition 2024-04.
  4. I'm testing the latest Craft beta, version 2.8. It will be a good release. This app keeps getting better and better. 
  5. I'm writing less on Micro.blog, that's because I'm writing more on Scribbles.
  6. My iPad listing on eBay got 15 views, 3 watchers, no bid. It's looking bad. Are the watchers bidding at the last minute?
  7. My wife is asking for my attention. Have a great day!

  1. I have to decide what photo gear I'm going to bring next week for my trip. I hesitate to bring the 70-200mm lens has it is a hassle to switch lens on my camera. It will be even more of a hassle now that I need to use an adapter.
  2. Today, I'm going to use TimeStory on Mac to build a timeline for one of my clients. It's a great little Mac app that no one talks about. The timeline will be a representation of a technology evolution proposal over the next three to five years. I like to build those!
  3. This week, I used eBay to post my iPad Pro for sale (see here). I can't remember the last time I used eBay for selling or buying something. I set the initial auction price at 500 CAN$ but the "buy it now" price at 650 CAN$. I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do. There are two watchers and seven views so far. I started at 900 CAN$, now it is at 650 CAN$. I didn't expect this would be so hard to sell my iPad. Oh well.
  4. Have a great day!

  1. Sunny but a rather cold day expected. I'll take it. 
  2. I selected 70 photos out of 370 shots from our corporate event of this week. I'm very pleased with the results. Taking photos of humans is not my thing, but I managed to have quite a few good ones in there. I'm happy with this new camera. Now I'm ready to take it with me for my next trip in a week.
  3. Expecting Craft 2.8 beta any minutes now. Feeling excited about that one. 
  4. Also expecting Plausible Analytics support in Scribbles in the next few days.
  5. I spend a lot of time in my life in "expecting" mode apparently. 🤣 
  6. Have a nice day.

  1. Last day of our annual sales kick off. I'm presenting twice this morning. One 50-minute and another 10-min presentations. It's exhausting. 😑
  2. I'll skip this week's edition of the creative newsletter, as I don't have the required time to put it together.
  3. I'll miss the May 7th Apple event as I'll be on the cruise ship at that time. I'll watch and read the news when I come back on May 10th, I guess.
  4. Speaking of Apple, I'm still stuck with my old iPad. I'll need to lower the price. Again. 
  5. Have a great day.

  1. I'm getting more replies by email to my blog posts here than on any other platforms. That is unexpected but so fun. Keep them coming. 
  2. I'm shooting corporate photos during my two-day sales kickoff event, and so far I must say that I'm liking it. That is unexpected too.
  3. One of my colleagues is borderline in climate change denial. I have a hard time talking to him on this subject. For example: he believes that more CO2 is good for forests as they make them grow better and faster but neglects to talk about all the negative side effects of this gas constant increase to atmosphere temperature and weather pattern changes. 🤦🏻‍♂️ He is the same guy who thinks Elon Musk is right about everything he does. I have to better choose my fights with him. 
  4. I don't have much time this morning to write, as I need to go! Have a nice day!

  1. This week, three evenings will be dedicated to the office annual sales event. I won't have much time for anything else. But, that's ok. 
  2. The previous thought was written last night. I didn't want to forget about it. I hope that you don't mind if I break the rules of writing /now post! 🤣
  3. I have to write back to Vincent to give him all the details about the Plausible analytics service. It's the future of Scribbles that depends on it! #not
  4. Yesterday I wrote my /now post using Ulysses and published it on Micro.blog. That was an experiment. I won't do that again, I promise.
  5. For my travel journaling, I decided against building another small website here or elsewhere. I need to stay focused and don't spread myself too thin. I'll use a combination of Pixelfed and Micro.blog for my posts if I ever decided to blog during the trip.
  6. Positioning an image at the beginning of a post with point form text after is suboptimal.
Be creative.
