Whee, it’s PCalc’s 30th birthday! Enjoy the blog posts that James has put together, and I recommend waiting until the offer expires to grab it if you don’t already have it and want it! It’s such a fabulous app.

Does anyone know if there’s a way for an app to pause/rewind an Audible book on iOS, there’s something I’m looking to automate, and would love it if there’s a developer API of some kind?

I wish all DJs knew how to balance a dance floor with two distinct audiences! Tonight’s speciality is “clear the floor within 2 bars of a song”

Teal and purple hair? Yes please!

Getting some seasonal teal added to my hair!

I feel like I may be on “the other side” now! But so as not to jinx it I’m going to spend the day wrapped up in blankets watching films and snoozing.

Having flu is never fun, good, or well-timed. But looking at all the weeks between now and my birthday in January, it’s honestly the best week I could have had flu in!

And fortunately, my flu jab seems to have made it into a rather mild case!

Hey (developer) friends! Do you know how to group your actions in the Shortcuts app? So instead of one gigantic ever-growing long list, you have subheading with actions below them? Here are some examples: imgur.com/a/IvgOjvQ

Just rocking today’s iOS Today app cap 🤓

I didn’t realise the new Apple TV is smaller than the old one! It’s shorter too.

I’m loving Stockholm. It’s interesting to find how many Swedeish words I can understand despite not speaking the language! My favourite word so far: Hiss. It means lift/elevator.

Hej 🇸🇪! So far I am not even cold. Also someone just got on my train with a Chewbacca carry on so I’d say this trip is off to an excellent start 🤓

I love how estate agents can use “needs updating” to cover anything.

• Needs a good cleaning, maybe a lick of paint.
• You’ll want a new kitchen or bathroom, but it’s ok.
• The ceiling has fallen in.
• This property is entirely uninhabitable.

A quick look at how I’m using the action button on my Apple Watch Ultra.

• Get Focus Mode
• If Focus Mode is Fitness
  • Start Dance Workout with an Open Goal
  • Stop Shortcut

Some quick Apple Watch Ultra action button Shortcuts thoughts:

• There’s no way to search for a shortcut, and no icon in the list.
• The action button only has one setting. It’s not focus mode specific, it’s just one action.
• Said action can’t be controlled through Shortcuts

I’m off to Sweden in October and I know one date I need to be there for (the 29th in Stockholm), but have no other plans yet. Any suggestions? 😁🗺️

To my fellow inhabitants of this isle:

I understand that a big change has happened and a constant for most of our lives is no longer with us.

That said, the earth has not been knocked off its axis, it is still September.

There is something lovely about coming home to your own bed. I suspect sleeping on an airbed for a week might have slightly augmented the comfort level of said bed.

Anyone want to guess today’s smart home project for my parents?

The England football team just absolutely smashed it. Great job!!!!

I hope they will inspire everyone to be as amazing as they are. I’m glad I watched it.
