I'm a bit of an eclectic mess πŸ™‚ I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

I really miss having @qikipedia posting facts over here. For a week or so, they did and then they’ve gone back to only posting on Twitter 😞

So I guess I’ll have to repeat their facts since I do enjoy them … but then there is no quoting posts and I have to resort to screenshots .. Ah, well πŸ™‚

@Jennifer_Pinkley @davemark Add me to the list of BritBox fans … well, OK I haven’t used BritBox, I used Acorn but it’s almost the same πŸ˜› BritBox has more variety in terms of content and we were going to subscribe to BritBox (since it had some of the British panel shows we loved etc) once our Acorn subscription ran out, but unfortunately we left Canada and with that went most of our subscriptions …

@gavinmckenzie As I was telling @oscb in a reply, I've just given up on SwiftUI yet again ... Maybe next year πŸ˜›

I did get the multi-selection working for grids, but then drag and drop turned out to be one item at a time and there apparently is no way around that (yet). Since there is no way to even code an alternate solution, my verdict at the moment is that SwiftUI is just not ready ...

@oscb I'm sorry that you have to go through that. I thought lists were badly implemented when SwiftUI first came out but a lot of things were rough at that point and so I let a few years go by (while checking every years or so) and thought maybe this time around things would be better since a couple of people I know were raving about SwiftUI. But unfortunately, it doesn't look as if it has progressed enough ...

If there's anyway I can help you with your list stuff, let me know since I did a lot of research into this but finally gave up. I started redoing my app as an AppKit app yesterday because there are features that I just have to have and SwiftUI just doesn't seem to be flexible enough to let me code it myself even ..

This is a James Julier tutorial. This is not meant to be a faithful reproduction of Uluru - I did not use a photo reference.

Apple in Oil

2023-01-20 day 221 of doing art every day for a year (mostly - I took sick days off).

Some friends commented about a previous piece, titles Oranges in Oil, and how they expected oranges swimming in oil, like a food item. Totally fair. This piece was titled prior to their comments, so it stays. Just because.
