New Stuff

So many software updates this week. I updated my MacOS and now I can run my iPhone from my MacBook. I am doing it right now. the Bruins are going to start about 10 minutes from now and I am listening to the pregame via the NHL iOS app but I am running it from my laptop. Cool. I can’t see myself doing this often… I mean, my iPhone is right next to me. I could be listening straight from the phone, easy enough. Whatever, new stuff is fun.

I am typing this on the Vivaldi browser. Vivaldi took an update this morning and the whole UI has been tweaked. Everything looks different. Does it look better? Eh. Who can say. Different but the same, I guess. It took about 20 seconds for me to get 100% used to the changes and more or less stop noticing them.

I took an update on my iPhone the other day too and now I have a dark mode that can change the app icons. Different, yes… better? Maybe. I like it. It doesn’t really amount to anything, but it’s fun. New stuff is fun.

Now if we could just get the Bruins to win an effing game. They are finally back home tonight but they are playing Dallas and The Stars are off to a good start. How about we get our shit together, eh Bruins? Tonight seems like a good night to start.

Jetpack on iOS

Are any other wordpress.com users who use the iOS version of the Jetpack app for their mobile blogging needs having troubles with the app?

My notifications are always weird. They don’t match up with what I see on the web app. Things that I see in the browser don’t show up on the app for some unknown amount of time, and things that I clear off in the app don’t go away and are back the next time I look. As a total stats/analysis nerd, these issues are frustrating, but they are nothing compared to the new problem I’m seeing.

For the last three days or so I have not been able to upload an image from my iPhone’s Photo Album. It tries, but it hangs almost immediately and it never finishes the upload. 99% of the time I pull images out of Flickr rather than upload them directly, but on the few times I try and fail it pisses me off like crazy.

Anyone else having troubles like this? Is it time for us to start a revolt? Should I start designing “Down with Jetpack!” signs to bring to the protest marches, or what?
