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™‚

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.

Honestly, how does anybody get anything done with #SwiftUI for non-trivial apps? You can’t do multi-selection in grid views. So if you have an app with a lot of items and want to delete multiple items, the user has to delete them one by one?

Say you get beyond that issue by adding some sort of a selection list, but then you hit the issue of deleting multiple items at once not updating the grid.

And if you get beyond that too, but then you want to do drag and drop with your multiple selections? As far as I can tell, no real way to do that at all! Multiple drop is supported, but not multiple drag. How does that make sense?

I had an app which had progressed to functional level before I hit all these issues. Now I’m seriously thinking of going back and re-wrting from scratch with AppKit since apparently SwiftUI is really not yet ready for this kind of usage …

After almost four years of SwiftUI, I would have hoped Apple was further along than this 😞

Or am I missing something obvious? (That’s always possible …)

I guess I should start sharing some of my art here. This is a tiny murmuration of birds that I painted for my bird-loving partner.
