The chances of macOS actually running an automatic update on my machines is super low. Even if I OK the “Update Tonight?” prompt, there is no way it actually goes through, because I’ll have apps open that prevent the restart. iTerm is a big one, that one won’t just quit on command. But even tabs […]

Looks like ChatGPT is back at #1 in the App Store. Claude had bumped it out of that spot for about a week. App Store rankings are just recent trends, so maybe we’ll see some flip-flopping going forward based on the news cycle.

DENVER — The Colorado Avalanche's home building, 26-year-old Puck Arena, is a blandly serviceable midpoint between the old-school kookiness of Calgary's Saddledome and the blinding shininess of Edmonton's Rogers Place. But it's what's on the inside that counts, and credit wh...

This is a little embarrassing to share, but I’d rather someone else be able to spot a dangerous scam before they fall for it. So, here goes. One evening last month, my Apple Watch, iPhone, and Mac all lit up with a message prompting me to reset my password. This came out of nowhere; I … Continue reading Gone (Almost) Phishin’ →

As I like to note every year, today is the anniversary of starting my blog. Good day to release some new web software!

An app I'd like someone to do. I want to underline the word reason in a blog post I wrote, below. I want to point to a page with a definition of the word, as a verb, not a noun. As far as I can see there is no page on the web for that. Your app will have a dialog at the top of the page where you type the query, and it generates a page with a static URL that I can point to where the definition will display if the user clicks on my link. The user then pastes the URL where they want it. And that's just the start, the key thing is short replies to queries needed to support something you're writing. I'm surprised Google doesn't do this. And I'd much rather use someone other than Google, but it has to be someone who will be around for a while. You can put an ad on each of the pages, but don't overdo it, or you'll incentivize a competitor.

I'm doing another new Claude project, just started it last night after the Knicks game. This one is right-size. The others I had been trying were too complex for us to communicate about. On this one I'm letting it write all the code, so we don't have to get bogged down telli...
