  @amyworrall In Octavo, is it possible to import one page/image and have it repeated over a whole sheet of labels? I can't seem to find an option to do that.

  You know what's awesome when I'm stressed out of my mind the day before an absolute, immutable deadline? PRINTER TROUBLE

  In today’s episode of “does a guitar fit on a plane, happily it’s a “your guitar is flying up in the cockpit with the pilots” day.

  I HAVE MADE A VERY SERIOUS PURCHASE

  I’ll be giving my talk @DeepDishSwift in just under two hours about cross-platform Swift development. Looking forward to it, assuming I can calm down the nerves! It’s being live streamed, so you can watch along! I’ll post a link soon!

  To whoever bought my laptop in 2021 and never changed the contact details on its AppleCare even though I told you "Please change the contact details on the AppleCare", your laptop is now ready to be collected from its repair.

  My M5 MacBook Air arrived today, and I collected together all the computers I have access to and ran some benchmarks with an Xcode project of ours that's long enough to bring out thermal constraints. Ran two clean builds back-to-back, and these are the results from the second build (which were universally faster than the first). It's weird that the Mac mini couldn't beat the M4 Air, but it *is* on Sequoia and everything else is Tahoe. Everything is running Xcode 26.2.

  A couple of weeks ago I made a little app called Keyhole that gives you back control of your Mac's media keys. I got a pretty nice reception to it - I'm glad it's useful to others! I wrote a little blog post about it: Introducing Keyhole: An App I Shipped In A Week https://ikennd.ac/blog/2026/02/keyhole-an-app-in-a-week/ #indiedev #macdev

  Starting to get to the end of what’ll be two solid weeks of work on a complex, full of edge-cases chunk of work - very boring, very tedious, but too important to hand off to an AI. Thankfully I’m getting to the fun part of this kind of thing - coming up with a big pile of unit tests to prove that it actually works as it should. The process of building that big list of green ticks - and shaking out some bugs in the process - is very gratifying after two weeks of being at 100% mental load!

  Turns out 9cm of extra build volume per axis is a *lot*.

  @schwa I had to measure the car to make sure it'd fit 😬

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@malin/116141444786739587 I did a chat/interview with @malin and @kaidombrowski for the @DeepDishSwift podcast this year (I'm a speaker!) and what came out was a really lovely snapshot into my life as an indie developer over the past *mumbles* years. Do give it a listen if you're interested in me or my work. It's a *little* bit technical, but not overly so, and not for that long. You'll certainly know more about me by the end! https...

  Yikes, just saw that 1Password hiked their App Store subscription prices too. Our family plan is increasing by over 55%. I’ve been grumbling about their app for years. Time to abandon ship. Which competitor has the least worst Mac app? (Requirements: Shared family vault, ability to store software licenses, SSH keys, random small files)

  Great! My new windscreen wiper blades are available for pickup! Wipers *for* my car will fit *in* my car, right? (Yes yes, it needs a wash. That's about 30 minutes driving's worth of dirt at this time of year.)

  I wrote a blog post about why we in the photography space *still* complain about Apple's Aperture going away over a decade later. It was a *really* good app. New blog post: A Lament For Aperture, The App We'll Never Get Over Losing https://ikennd.ac/blog/2026/01/old-man-yells-at-modern-software-design/
