We're right there with you sadly at ScreenCastsONLINE - hopefully not too long!

And....looks like we're back. So if you are having difficulty accessing ScreenCastsONLINE, a litCloudflarece with a few retries may be needed as things equalise. That does not seem to have been a good Maintenance Window for Cloudflare sadly.

For members unable to access the site - please note there is a global outage on CloudFlare, which we use to protect the site. Waiting on updates from them....

I thought it would be a bad day when I started my coffee machine without a mug under it. It didn't get much better sadly. Here's to tomorrow.

Code Master bring me so many happy memories. This is wonderful. Dizzy for the win https://thecodemastersarchive.co.uk/playonline/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOB1wJleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBlMTU4WmxIcm9VUlphT3dac3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHl4xfY_aFWIoREb2GUyQyxtBi5H7nMXy66CohMrafSvHxzU3euBDiwhKvc6b_aem_

We’re glad you see our videos as a treat!

All this time, I've been bemoaning the fact I can't have local links in Notion. Today, I realised that copying links as Universal Links with Hookmark, allows you to paste them into Notion - and they work!

Workflow - revolutionised.

Been using the Vision Pro for working at home for a few days now to force the habit, with Mac Virtual Display, to see if repetition helps. I'm at a stage where it feels - natural - now to use it. Built some nice workflows for window sizing, widgets. Next stop - can I edit videos effectively….

For the contract I'm on, I thought I'd work with the tools they use so running a small project with OneNote as my note system, and Copilot alongside. Far better than I was expecting. OneNote has grown well

‎Space Age: A Cosmic Adventure ‎App Store Editor's Choice! Space Age is a game of cosmic adventure. Set in the retro-futuristic sci-fi world of 1976, it follows a small but determined band of intergalactic explorers who land on a seemingly uninhabited planet, Kepler-16. They soon discover there’s something both strange and famili…

It may not get a lot of love but using the Games app yesterday gave me a great experience. Going through the Library, showed me all games I've ever played and alerted me to some classics that I never finished. I mean Space Age here is a gem and still available apps.apple.com/gb/app/space-a...

The Dream by The Favors, FINNEAS & Ashe on Apple Music Album · 2025 · 13 Songs

Potentially the most beautiful album I've heard was released today. Weird word to use to describe an album, but it works. My kids and I love The Little Mess You Made - song of the year https://music.apple.com/gb/album/the-dream/1817744638

Whilst there is some negativity around the new OS versions, now they have finally dropped for the masses, I find them fresh, fun and have enjoyed them for months. I think CarPlay looks almost brand new and is underrated. And my friends think iOS 26 looks and feels great, so interesting times.

00000 Million by Bon Iver on Apple Music Song · 2016 · Duration 3:53

No idea why I like Bon Iver so much. It's definitely daytime music for me, in the background whilst working. Couldn't listen at night - but immensely chilled for work purposes, especially this one https://music.apple.com/gb/album/00000-million/1141107722?i=1141108088

Days like today remind that Project Management is extremely hard and a skill that's hugely undervalued. Grrrr.

After spending the last six months solely working with ChatGPT, I've been using Claude over the last couple of days. There are some admin elements for the videos that it takes care of better than ChatGPT for sure.

Very much enjoying it

I Can't Stand It (feat. Capt. Hollywood) by Twenty 4 Seven on Apple Music Song · 1989 · Duration 4:09

This was my favourite song at the age of 13 and I played it all the time. So glad tha taste matures with age

Working on my outline for the ScreenCastsONLINE dives into iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 now I've returned from holiday and feel safe having them on my personal devices (I never put betas on when travelling). I'm thoroughly enjoying them both and personally think Liquid Glass is at the sweet spot now.

Same boat here. Got to do the macOS video walkthrough as well as iOS and currently in this strange country called Italy, so best fly back soon and get started!

To help mark ScreenCastsONLINE's twentieth anniversary, Lee thought it would be nice to sit down with the one and only Don McAllister, and discuss how he came up with the concept for ScreenCastsONLINE, and have a little walk down memory lane together.

And there's also an interview with the man himself on the origins of ScreenCastsONLINE, and what he's doing now. Great watch for fans of Don McAllister

ScreenCastsONLINE turned 20 years old on 19 August, 2025 so we thought we'd dig out the first-ever video from the library and share it with you all so you can see just how far the Mac has come in the last 20 years! (Do you remember what RSS was like in 2005? Watch and find out!) A big thank you to all of our members, past and present, who have helped us reach this landmark, and to the founder, Don McAllister, for having the vision to create this institution in the Apple-sphere. We love creating our content and helping you all find and master new apps and services, so we're looking forward to our next anniversary! *** SIGN UP for a 7-day ScreenCastsONLINE trial membership TODAY and get access to our WHOLE CATALOG of over 1,460 videos. ** ScreenCastsONLINE - The FIRST-EVER Video - 20 YEARS ON!

Who would have thought ScreenCastsONLINE would last 20 years? Well, Don did! We're so proud to celebrate this anniversary, so we thought we'd share the first ever video Don released all those years ago

Match 1 of the season with the youngest - we're ready #COYS

Very safe to say that A Level results day has been a hit in our household. Could not have asked more than Lilia's amazing results. Very proud parents here.

That's OK, I would have had more fun doing that too...!

Picked up two of these for upcoming trip - looks excellent

I feel really happy that I don't particularly care what icons look like. I'm more concerned if they don't work when I click on them - other than that, I've never been bothered by how they look and my life is a lot more peaceful for that.

Sitting down with the youngest watching Taskmaster is a great way to end a long day

Lucy Bronze

Just left Wembley and fair to say the Oasis gig is one of the best things I've done. Ever. Just wow

Agree with most of these! Especially Populous. Honourable mentions to Dungeon Master, Kick Off 2, Xenon 2 as well

This is the Killer Speaking by The Last Dinner Party on Apple Music

If this is a pre-cursor for what's coming in the new album, we're in for a treat in October https://music.apple.com/gb/album/this-is-the-killer-speaking/1825336146?i=1825336352
