So first book about photography is really entry level. Nothing new unfortunately but if someone’s starting with getting into photography it’s nicely written and there are lots of examples. The second one about portraits though is good. Interesting. I learned new stuff and saw good pics. Overall – 7/10.

I’m gonna ready it and if I’m not going to be a great photographer afterwards I’m gonna be pissed.

This one little setting made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to sign in into iMessages. Literally couldn’t figure it out for like two weeks and after randomly checking it off, iMessage logged in, synced all of my messages. Ugh.

Obviously new iPhones are the best ones yet, but holy molly, usb-c might be the only really interesting thing and I don’t really care that much*. Times are changing, my wallet is being grateful!

* cameras are also cool, but I got proper compact camera and you can’t beat that ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

I like this type of getting old – I didn’t notice that there’s an Apple Keynote happening today and scheduled a meeting with friends. I’m fine, literally couldn’t care less about keynote happening. Getting rid of the fomo is good.

Well actually if apple would show new iMac with M2 Pro or M3 or whatever with like 32GB+ RAM then I’d be interested.

September is pretty fine so far in terms of temperatures

Mac – state of the desktop.

Crazy how good is to have Allegro Smart. At this point it already paid for itself like couple hundred times.

Omg.lol just got it’s matrix server and I’m convinced. So if you’d like to get in touch via matrix with me, I’m @pawel:omg.lol from now on.

😎 Brought back social.lol feed into my blog. It just feels right to use statuslog because of how easy it is.

Living that iOS 17 life like there’s no tomorrow (for my phone)

Saturdays are for contact book cleanup with moving contacts to proper accounts so work people won’t show in my messages after work hours 🤙🏻

Jumping on that beta train just before release isn’t as crazy I think. I’ve installed beta just to get that better keyboard honestly and so far has been worth it. Besides that I can’t really see much changes?

YOLO.
