If I could remove just 1 thing from my life it would be the need for sleep. There’s really so much more I could and should be doing for the next 6-6.5 hours.
I have a confession. I find myself back on Twitter from time to time. If only to write articulately and intelligently to those still pushing for Brexit and hurling abuse at anyone who disagrees with their narrow mind opinion.
Cramming it into 48 hours
Jonathan Freedland, in The Guardian:
All he had to do next was win approval for his accelerated timetable, one that would cram line-by-line scrutiny of a 110-page bill giving legal effect to a 585-page withdrawal agreement, into 48 hours. For a few fleeting, clammy-palmed moments, it seemed as if he might pull it off.
Thankfully not. There’s still hope.
I despair at watching people’s reasoning for accepting the proposed Brexit deal is simple weariness and impatience rather than ensuring a positive future.
I have checked out BBC Parliament this evening in advance of Saturday’s tumultuous debate on the future of the UK. It will probably something to endure more than to enjoy, but it’s fundamental to our future.
Ordered a Luna Display at 25% off as they announce Mac-to-Mac support.
Samsung: Anyone’s thumbprint can unlock Galaxy S10 phone. BBC News. Ouch!
Damn! That moment when you find out that Sidecar, the only “carrot” Apple’s dangled in front of you to “upgrade”(?) to Catalina isn’t supported on your MacBook Pro. You know the one with the life resistant keyboard.
I like Monzo. Buy not the notifications you get on your spending. It’s like having your mother watch your current account.
Found the perfect place for a weekly review. @macgenie Supported by a large glass of Rioja and an iPad Pro.
Who am I today? Who do I want to be tomorrow?

Sleep Credit
I’ve been recording my sleep for the last few months using Autosleep. Whilst I’m sure I’m actually improving my health and getting a better nights sleep it’s also an odd thing to watch the sleep credit percentage change. I think it’s impossible to not earn sleep credit at the weekend and spend over the course of the working week. Any random late night hits your sleep credit as hard as any large financial bill hitting your checking account. Just like in financial terms, surely the purpose of gaining credit is to spend it.
Later. Much, much later.
Hooked up an AppleTV (3rd Gen) to the TV. Lost remote in 23 minutes…
Dropped my phone on to carpet, but it bounced on the corner of a table on the way down. Screen scratched around C-V keys to a level I can feel with my fingernail but thankfully not my thumbs when typing.
Moon++ app. Nice. But I’m not sure of the value of it.
Donald Trump, the BBC and what happens when a woman of colour speaks her truth
Wow. First his brother quit’s then Johnson’s sister describes his behaviour as reprehensible on SkyNews
I used to think I was new to macOS. But now I know I’ve been using it long enough to recall the days when (as awkward as it is) ⇧⌃⌘4 took copied the selected area of the screen. Rather than a completely random mix of behaviours.
That sinking feeling when you commit to an 18 month contract and then find a cheaper deal after it’s too late to cancel
There’s much to let me only think of this negative context, but there’s positives too. I just need to look for them. derekpeden.com

Checking out my new local bar. Nice to have somewhere to go, even if no one knows my name.
