The Week #176
by- ๐คฎ A stomach bug has gone through the house that has made both Yumi and Leo sick. I've managed to dodge it thus far. I'm not sure how, but Leo's been through almost 3 years of pre-school and hasn't caught a stomach bug until now...and true to the emoji, I don't think he's vomited since before he could eat solids....
As Leo didn't start showing symptoms until Saturday afternoon, after his local doctor closes, we had to drive him to Totsuka to his backup clinic. 3 minutes into the drive and threw up in new car. I'm happy he felt better after that and I'm also happy that we managed to contain most of it, so there's no stains or residual smells in the car.ย
It's never a good time to get sick, but this week was especially not a good week to do so. You see, on Saturday was the donguri festival at pre-school. This is the one I've probably talked about before where each class has a theme and they use giant cardboard boxes to build seascapes you can walk around or slides and castles. And because he was sick, we couldn't attend.
We had also planned to get family photos, including the cousins in from Tokyo, with us dressed up in kimono. Alas, we will have to re-schedule this. - ย โฐ๏ธ With Leo sleeping the majority of the weekend, it meant I could get some time in to work on Sunbottle and Tanzawa. Sunbottle now displays a new data point: how yesterday's generation / consumption compares with last year's.

Tanzawa got a massive simplification of the plugin system that will make it easier to develop. As I wrote in the pull request, I had to let go of my original idea that people could just upload a python module like you upload a Wordpress plugin. Once I did that, it became mostly a matter of ripping out code and monkeypatches.ย
I also started working on my opengraph meta data. I'd like my posts with photos and my runs to show up with nice previews when linked on Mastodon and such like. - โ๏ธ Apple released a new watchOS point release that fixes the battery drain issue on some watches. I installed it last night and I think it's working as intended. I took my watch off the charger at 9pm and at 6:30am, it's at 69%. Recently I've been waking up with it in the 50's. My battery health been degrading these past few months (it's currently at 75% health), so it's probably worth getting it swapped out now thatย they've fixed the issue.
- ๐ท The Photos app continues to disappoint. I tried to use it to do the most basic task, i.e. import some photos off of an sd card and it couldn't. No previews ofย the photos. Clicking import all photos would just take me back to my library top...without importing photos. I've stuck with Photos because syncing with my phone is/was automatic via iCloud, but if it fails at the most basic tasks, what's the point? There must be a better way... Shotwell looks nice (and similar to iPhoto), but it doesn't run on macOS... What do you use to manage your photos?

byThe 300th PR for Tanzawa is a good one. It fixes a long-standing issue with how plugins worked over 20 small commits. +76 / -274. It's a bit late for me to merge and deploy it, but I think it unblocks development for me.

byNew bed delivered. Old bed taken away. New bed won't go round the corner at the top of the stairs!
I took off the handrails and a decorative piece at the top of the wooden support pillar. Nope! No amount of twisting, turning or applied geometry was going to make the two halves of the base go round that corner.Japanese houses are notorious for this. Our old place, which was new and not tiny, couldn't even fit a queen-sized bed up the stairs. As these kinds of things are common, when you order something big, often the delivery company comes to measure first to ensure it can go where it needs to go. Ultimately, we did what a lot of people do and got two singles and pushed them together. -

byEvery time I use the Photos app I get disappointed. Years later it still feels like it's not nearly as easy to use as iPhoto...maybe it's the volume of photos has changed? i.e. In iPhoto days it was managing photos I took with my camera. While Photos is now housing those plus every shot with my cellphone. So there's heaps more volume... and most of the photos taken with my phone should be temporal in nature and deleted anyways.
