Montreal, June 2026 → Nice backyard view at sunset while taking a walk. Follow the trail.

Cool little blog post about animating UI elements or UI state transitions. Sometimes, when using an app, there is a weird feeling that something is wrong. It might come from bad animations. Apple, are you reading this post?

Montreal, June 2026 → From the coffee shop where I’m often creating something besides drinking coffee! It’s a converted train factory. Follow the trail.

Montreal, June 2026 → Poor little and just-opened Apple Store on Ste-Catherine surrounded by road construction! This could last more than a year… Follow the trail.

Montreal, June 2026 → A nice illuminated foot pathway. Follow the trail.

It's been ongoing for six days now. I didn't know it took so long to index my digital life.

Finally! Five days after installing beta 1, I received a notification that my iPhone can now be used to test Apple Siri, Siri AI, and/or Apple Intelligence. That's a tricky naming convention, right? As a side note: Siri AI is better than expected on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, but I don't like the big blob popping out of the Dynamic Island when invoking its service.

Montreal, June 2026 → A modern office building near my home. Follow the trail.

Well, after many, many tries, macOS 27 Golden Gate refuses to install on my M2 MacBook Air. The last try was to boot in safe mode and then start the update process from the Settings app, and yet, the same error still occurs. I'll wait for beta 2. Sigh. 😮‍💨

You may have seen a post title "I was there" recently floating around this blog. This post included a reference like "Follow the trail". Let me explain what this is all about.

I created a custom web application inspired by Foursquare and Path. The former is quite different today than it was in 2009, while the latter is what is the closest to what I wanted to create: an app for sharing check-ins while I travel or visit places. It's my first public-facing web application, called "Numeric Citizen Trails".

When posting a new check-in, I can optionally enable cross-posting here on Scribbles.page. These posts will be marked as "📡✨ I was there" with the "Blips" tag, including a link to the original check-in post (I use three tags here, and "Blips" best fits the idea that each check-in is a blip in a journey). This also means, per Scribbles.page configuration, that they will be sent to my Micro.blog timeline, so if you follow me there, you'll see them there as well.

You may see a few more test posts with this posting workflow in the coming days. I'm excited to try it out for real on my next trip, a two-week vacation in Paris, France.
