I received an email from John Graham-Cumming telling me my code was in the original Terminator movie. And it's true!
Here's the still from the movie:

#NowSpinning Bruch’s Second Violin Concerto, a work I do not know. Fortunately Perlman seems to know it rather well! How interesting to hear it’s first movement almost pick up where the First left off. A bit of recycling isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

A filter that flew to the moon
Rudolf Kálmán's 1960 filter was met with scepticism, until Stanley Schmidt at NASA Ames saw how to use it for navigation.
An extended version guided Apollo to the Moon.

It's been 12 years since I last updated Quick Resizer, a Mac App that... quickly resizes images.
I built it because I hated waiting 10s or so to launch Photoshop just to scale an image for my blog.
I let Claude fix 3 bugs and port it to Swift (under my guidance), and it's now hit 2.0, and works better than it ever did before (and waaaay faster on modern Apple Silicon). Plus it still runs on Intel, at least macOS 13+!
It's still $0.99 as it always was: apps.apple.com/us/app/quick-…
And now I can again stop launching Photoshop's monstrous husk of an app just to scale down photos for my blog.

If you get a perfect working iPhone 6, log into it, and go to the App Store, you can't install apps because Apple has discontinued support for all iOS versions the iPhone 6 uses.
200+ million iPhone 6 phones were produced. All now banned from apps.
Think about that.

I think this Apple Cinema is the oldest monitor I use. It just won’t die. It’s on the bench as a test monitor.
