  1. I'm writing right from my hotel in Barcelona! We're taking the cruise ship later today!
  2. We spent the evening yesterday waling around in Barcelona, where I did some street photography!
  3. On the plane, the guy right beside us spent 7 hours scrolling on his iPhone. Was it on TikTok? I couldn't see and was wondering if he was connected to the wireless service of the plane. Anyway, I'm mostly not judging, but man, 7 hours of scrolling on a tiny screen? Really?
  4. I'm a city type of guy. I like it when it is busy, but not too busy, people walking around with bikes everywhere, scooters, etc.
  5. We're going to explore so more of Barcelona this morning, with my camera. It's my third time here and I love this place. 
  6. Have a great day, wherever you are with whatever are your plans!

📡✨ Undecided Take #2

I'm getting ready to load my iPhone with podcasts before going to the airport. I'm undecided between Pocket Cast and Apple Podcasts. So, I load some episodes in the former and some others in the latter. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now ☀️15 °C - 🌡️10 °C - 🌧️67%

  1. We had big thunderstorms last night, like big ones, the same type that we usually get in July. What is wrong with weather these days? 🤔
  2. Today is flight day. We're going to Munich, then from there to Barcelona. It will be a long day. 😑
  3. Sold my iPad Pro on eBay. It was a frictionless experience compared to selling stuff on Facebook Marketplace, but the price I got is not exactly what I wanted. But hey, I got to move on.
  4. It will be weird to go on a trip without an iPad. It's the perfect device for traveling.
  5. Got a few sales on Gumroad yesterday. I'm currently at more than $100 MRR. With the upcoming three-part Craft course and the new digital legacy management guide, I expect this to grow even further.
  6. I'm not sure when I'll be able to publish the next /now post but it will be from Europe this time. Have a great day.

  1. 🕚 Only 12 hours left to my iPad Pro listing on eBay. I have four bidders, but I wish I had more. Will they fight at the last minutes? I guess that's it. I'll have to reset it and put it in a box and ship it tonight or early tomorrow morning.
  2. 📅 Only 36 hours before leaving for this cruise trip in Europe!
  3. 🕕 On 6 hours into May, 2024. Birds are signing more than ever.
  4. I bought a 10G data package for my iPhone using Airalo. I'm wondering if I'll use it to post photos from my trip to Micro.blog, Pixelfed or elsewhere or if I'll wait when I come back home. I might post a few, just to say hello. 
  5. On May 7th, during the Apple special event, I'll be in Nice, it will be 4PM over there, which is the "apero" time.
  6. Fun fact: the last time I was in Nice, was in August 2014 and my iPhone was an iPhone 5.

  1. ⚙️ My Shortcuts to get current weather forecasts for the post title couldn't locale my current position. Turning Wi-Fi off and on fixed the issue. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  2. ⚙️ My Keyboard Maestro macro to create this post no longer works and I don't know why. It's probably missing some delays to give time for Scribbles UI elements to show up.
  3. 💻 I decided to bring my MacBook Air with me on the cruise trip.
  4. ☝🏻 Each list item in this post now comes with an emoji at the beginning to act as markers. Reading this post on the web where the numbered list isn't displayed correctly should be better now.
  5. 🧠 Here is some food for thought: The Apple Vision Pro is a technological marvel built for limited use cases, while the Rabbit R1 / AI Pin are bad devices build on something full of use cases: generative AI.
  6. 📅 Have a great day.

  1. Three days before leaving for the French Riviera river cruise! I'm starting to get excited!
  2. I've got a cold, a weird one: a sour throat, secretion in lungs, some coughing but no sneezing. It's not COVID, but it's a cold anyway. I hope to get better before Thursday. 😑
  3. I restarted my work on something that I'm excited for: a template for helping manage digital legacy when someone passes away. I wrote an article about this a long time ago, but now I'm getting ready to release a template that I'll make available on Gumroad. I asked the feedback from one of my readers, which I think is important.
  4. Yesterday, I release a video about Micro.blog. They never get many views, but for those who pay attention, I think they are appreciated. If you are reading this from your Micro.blog timeline, consider giving it a shot, you might learn something!
  5. Have a great day!

  1. I just finished creating a Keyboard Maestro macro to automate the initial creation of this post. A few weeks from now, I should have recouped the time I invested in creating this macro.
  2. There is this Apple ID lockout (link) going on since a few days: people are logged out of their Apple device and cannot use their Apple ID without necessitating a password reset. I'm afraid this could happen to me or my wife. Having to log out and log back in on all my devices wouldn't be cool. It's a reminder how critical this login is. And Apple is mum about it! What is going on here? 🤔
  3. It's still April, and we've got thunderstorms this morning, which is really unusual for this time of the year. We cumulate strange weather events.

Now ☀️19 °C - 🌡️3 °C - 🌧️44%

  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! 
Be creative.
