I wish I’d had NFOViewer back at Runic. Before I went to bed, I added a global search feature. This was finicky to get working at first, but it works. The other issue I had to fix was when filtering thousands of items, I’d hit a deadlock while rendering the UI, but we debounce and stream in now.

In past support roles, I always preferred working from a Mac, but those pesky Windows System Information (*.NFO) files kept getting in the way. So tonight I built NFOViewer, a simple macOS app that opens them with zero friction.

Tonight I went through the process of bringing the classic Mac OS X app Backhoe (a terrain editor for Second Life) all the way from Objective-C and AppKit on Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC) over to Swift, Apple Silicon, modern macOS – and running on the iPad!

Fats Navarro w/ Don Lanphere www.youtube.com/watch 🎵 It blows my mind that I studied with Don and knew him a little bit. He was a musically-demanding perfectionist, but was a good guy with a kind heart. He used to tell me how much he and Charlie Parker hated Paul Desmond. 😆

Anybody else notice an annoying little hitch lately when dragging and dropping files on macOS, like into Claude or a web browser drop zone?

Got an old project up and running again in a docker container tonight. Hello, old friend!

It’d be real sweet if Mail got an update sometime to make marking all messages as read not suck. Twice this year I have inadvertently flagged all messages on all my accounts by mistake, usually due to some kind of UI lag bug on the iPad.

Some news from my jobby job: We shipped Camelot Unchained into early access yesterday! 🎉 massivelyop.com/2026/03/2…

Love it. Ship it on Windows and Linux too, please. webkit.org/blog/1786…

I’ve heard that the A18 Pro is basically a tiny M1, so my hope is that the MacBook Neo pushes Apple to focus a little bit more on performance improvements to accommodate some of the older Apple Silicon out there.

A minor annoying visual bug on the iPhone lock screen in 26.3.1 (a). Should I be filing a Radar?

Do you think that someday through some combination of AirPlay and other magic, those overpowered Apple displays that have A-series processors in them might one day be able to let you walk up to any random display and keyboard setup and just magically run macOS wherever you go right off your phone?

I continue to wonder when the hell Spotify is going to ship a basic yet somehow novel accessibility feature called light mode. 🤔

I was already into computers, so I got tapped to make a webpage to promote the CD. The obscenely long URL for which is printed on the back of the jewel case. One notable 90s quirk is that URLs often would often end in htm instead of html. I think this was because I made it on Windows 3.1!

When I was a kid, our 6th grade class recorded an album. My dad worked for Muzak, and was able to pull in some favors to assist with its production. The result aired nationally in every McDonald’s for a period of time. Someone’s selling a copy on eBay right now: www.ebay.com/itm/32665…

I’m just getting around to watching the Apple at 50 event with David Pogue at the Computer History Museum. It’s super entertaining! www.youtube.com/watch

The OOBE and Windows Update experience is patently awful. I’m really not exaggerating. See for yourself: www.youtube.com/watch

A lower entry point to the Mac will increase its market share and push Apple to focus on polish. Meanwhile, the MacBook Neo has rebooted the PC war at a time where Apple has footholds everywhere: www.theverge.com/report/89…

Been trying to reduce my reliance on centralized social media for news gathering. Recently, I switched away from Reeder over to NetNewsWire, an RSS reader that’s quickly become one of my favorite apps. Has a very clean interface and is FAST to update and sync between devices.
