My kitty cat Fester loves Vienna Sausages. He comes up to my bedroom and stands in the door and stares at me until I relent and give in. No words or meows are spoken. The whole evolution has a dark alley feel to it. Cats. Just. Cats.
100 Days of SwiftUI – Day 1 – Variables and other things
I am working through 100 Days of SwiftUI. I’ve been watching Paul Hudson videos for a while and he is a great teacher when it comes to Swift in general.
I highly recommend the FREE course if you are interested in programming in Swift.
Post my progress on here daily? Absolutely.
Topics covered…
Group: Simple Types
Variables
Strings and Integers
Multi-line strings
Doubles and Booleans
String interpolation
Constants
Type annotations
Tomorrow: Complex Types
Phantom Controls
One of the fun things that happen when we are testing beta software.
This random control was left over from Chrome. I was saving an image to the desktop and the control just stayed there long after I shut Chrome down.
Early Pool Time
I guess if you absolutely have to work at 2:00 am, taking a nice swim beforehand is in order.
One of the things I absolutely love about the summer time is the late night swimming.
Statue of Liberty Nebula
NGC 3576 is a region of glowing gas in our Milky Way galaxy. If you look closely, you can see why it’s called the Statue of Liberty Nebula. The shapes are created by various stages of star formations and death. #IndependenceDay ✨

It’s Hot!
This is important.
Summer heat is upon us. Remember, the effects of heat are more severe on children and pets because their bodies warm at a faster rate than adults. Never leave children or pets in a car. #notevenforaminute pic.twitter.com/uoEYcXlO0T

Sad that the words “Never leave children or pets in a car” must be spoken out loud.
Good Morning
I’m posting this one because it is funny. Not sure how true it is because I hate politics of any kind. How angry the party that is not in the White House gets during the term is hilarious. Both parties do the exact same thing.
Whether they want to admit it or not.
xBox Lovelyness
I got this lovely message when I turned on the xBox in my office this afternoon.
It told me to “sit tight” as though I am a small child.
How rude?
Microsoft Edge Being Forced on Users
Sad. But true. I can’t believe this is still happening in 2020. This article mentions that Microsoft had a bad experience with forcing users to use their product before. It is shocking that they would try to do this again. Especially when Apple is now doing the exact opposite.
And I’m not surprised that some angry Windows users are already railing against the fact that this came as part of a forced Windows update, which Microsoft has already had a damn hard time justifying without invading people’s desktops as well. It’s going to be harder to buy the argument that forced updates are necessary for security when they’re pulling double-duty as an intrusive marketing tool.
