Moorland in twilight, a red lit radio mast to the left, the lights of a town to the right. The sky is made of lovely fluffy cloud.

It's been a while, but been back up the hill in the dark tonight. Lovely night for it.

My first app, Do4Who, written in Objective-C that I mostly learnt from books (I know, what?!), is now in its 14th year on the App Store. It’s not great but it still works. Here is a cheesy video I did at the time (nice music though!)

I’ve had a crazy couple of days work wise (good crazy I hope) so haven’t been posting much. Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly. In the meantime please accept this random photo I took a few days ago to brighten your timeline.

This week's update of my mood playlist maker flowvi.be is almost ready. It continues to build on shortcuts and other advanced workflow capabilities. All that will be very handy with the upcoming enhancements to Siri!

Cheers!

I have oat milk, frozen fruit and mix rolled oats in with it for a quick smoothie.

🚨It's launch day!🚨

Within Reach is a companion app for people on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. Keep up with your dosage schedule, visualize your progress, and keep a log of your symptoms.

It helps you manage the ups and downs, stay consistent, and see how far you've come.

I can hear tons of birds close by but the only one I’ve seen in the garden today is a woodpidgeon. I reckon they can see me and are coming in when I turn my back.

Eerie, wet, misty, the woods look like a mini Lord of The Rings

The app is called flowvi.be The story behind the name - from early prototypes to the final shipping name

Nice! I’m keeping my eye out too. I planted some late last year. Lots of green but no white yet 🤞
