The audience for this is probably about three people worldwide, but I HAD to write it up because I know someone else will come across it:
Skirting the iOS/Safari audio auto-play policy for UI sound effects (complete with weird mobile Safari bug?)

I predict that within two years we’ll have Tim Cook on stage saying “We’ve done something incredible. We’ve made a smartphone SO small that it will fit in your pocket. The technology we’ve used to achieve this is incredible.”
Then I’ll be ready to upgrade my iPhone SE.

Some of the most beautiful things can’t be captured on regular cameras. Sunsets. Big moons. Wildlife. Bright stars.
Spending time enjoying what you are seeing is far better. Soak it up in the moment.
Then buy a better photo someone else took!

I hearby declare all my iOS Safari async sound woes to be some odd quirk of Safari and Vue.js
– I’ve been unable to reproduce issue in a simple test setup
– HTMLMediaElement.volume seems read-only in my code
– HTMLMediaElement.muted is read-write
🤷♂️

Finally got a year in review done. 2018: Breaking and making!

Sorry to just post food, but quite happy with this loaf!

I’ve also collated these command line keyboard shortcuts into a cheatsheet for future reference:

A few days ago the climagic Twitter account posted a bunch of super-useful command line keyboard shortcuts. I keep forgetting these, so have collated them in a Moment:

Trying to write with the new WordPress block editor again. MAN it’s frustrating.
Also, I realise I’ve posted a bunch of things with the default category. Having categories, tags, and excerpt boxes collapsed has meant I’ve forgot to set them before publishing. Argh!

Seeing if I can remove dependency on Google a little. Tried to find a place on Apple Maps. Found it. Opening times good. Location good. Give me directions…
…sends me off in the opposite direction to a totally different place.
Apple Maps is still rubbish then?

Huh. So you change your avatar thinking you’ll need to update it in a zillion places. And then you realise the reach of the Gravatar system!! Wow!

I’m considering coding tech choices for 2019. Should I stick and double down on what I’m working with now? Or branch out into new languages and hope for projects to work with them on?

Wow. I just saw Synthetic Fluorophlogopite on an ingredients list and wondered what it is. I’m now in awe of how good @LushLtd are at auditing their supply chains and taking action on human rights issues! https://uk.lush.com/ingredients/synthetic-fluorphlogopite

Cripes. Affogato with an Aeropressed espresso. Why did I not think of THAT before?!?? 👌

It seems I’ve still not really adjusted to how Facebook has changed society. 🤔

I just had a haircut. And for the first time I actually think I’m properly grey. And in the mirror…I look proper old! 👨🏻🦳🙁

At this point I have pretty much no idea how Facebook works. It seems to be wholly unreliable as a meaningful and trustworthy form of communication.
I’ve deleted the apps again.

A closing piece of wisdom for the day: everyone is on their own path. Everyone. Don’t look around and see others on their paths and wish it was your path. Because you aren’t them. You are you. Uniquely, invaluably, brilliantly you. Follow YOUR path.
