Dear Coffee,
I am grateful for you every day.
Yours truly,
Hjalmer
Remembrance
My first name comes from Hjalmer Lindberg. Had he lived, he would have been a great uncle. In World War II, he fought in the Battle of the Bulge with the 94th infantry. He was a sniper who was killed by another. The story I was told was that first, Hjalmer’s helmet was shot off. This revealed the position of the German sniper. Hjalmer quickly pivoted to return fire, but the German was faster.
Remembering Hjalmer Lindberg and Erich Gerloff, today.
35 Box Office Flops That Are Actually Worth Watching
Kinda nice to get a second opinion on some titles I was already considering.
I have a long queue on DVD Netflix…
Heard Take Me Home on satellite radio earlier today. Because I owned No Jacket Required, naturally, Sussudio is now an ear worm.
Phil Collins, y’all!
You’re welcome.
Bless you, Coffee Machine
Apple Beta program participation disadvantage I haven’t seen mentioned before: media-sharing requires signing out and back in, or de-authorizing and re-authorizing—after applying each update. On AppleTV this means not being able to connect to my server or access iTunes Match
Second shot packed a wallop. In the intervening 24 hours I hope I’m through the worst of it. Body aches, headaches and chills, for me
Second dose acquired.
The Vaccination, Part II: Return to House Pfizer
Contact interoperability via VCF or CSV file is simply terrible. It could be as simple as export/import. But that’s not the case. It’s export/translate/edit/import/edit
Long story short:
Don’t use files to exchange this data. Use services.
To get contacts from Outlook (Exchange) into iOS, I used the macOS-native Contacts app. I connected to the Exchange account that had the contacts needed. Then I connected to the empty iCloud account. I selected the Exchange account, selected all of the contacts, and dragged them en masse to the iCloud account. In a few minutes, all of the contacts appeared in iCloud with the correct data in the correct fields. A few minutes after that, they were on the destination iPhone.
