Yesterday I went to #Unwrap Live 2024. This online, all day, SwiftUI programming class by Paul Hudson from Hacking With Swift fame, was all about the Apple Vision Pro this year. I love the way Paul explains code, techniques, and APIs. The other valuable thing is, he is willing to… Continue reading
Well, I’ve finally done it. I have submitted an app that will launch on the same day as a new piece of Apple hardware. I have taken my simple application – Wasted Time, and did a total re-write over the last year to better take advantage of SwiftUI and the… Continue reading
Since completely rewriting WastedTime into SwiftUI and fixing it to run nearly the same code across macOS, watchOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS, I’ve not been happy with the way I’ve handled the fonts.

I have done so, after looking at the data that Facebook provided in the brief period that version 7.1.1 was in the store. I… Continue reading
So, as I am working on disconnecting my FB account, one of the things that I will have to do is remove FB integration from one of my apps. This requires a new release of WastedTime – to be released soon. I will also have to get my Podcast and… Continue reading
yesterday I had an epiphany – I realized that a bug that had been hiding in Wasted Time for years was actually trivial to fix! So I sat down and within seconds I fixed it! (Boy that hasn’t happened in a very long time – probably because I don’t get… Continue reading
