It was interesting to read the week notes I used to publish. Part of me would like to write them again, but my work week has become so static they would really just be weekend notes...

Just had another stab at updating the mobile nav CSS on my blog and failed again. Reassuringly AI can't fix it either...

Like any right thinking human person I loathe The Sun, but they do have a way with their headlines on occasion.

It's down to the app, I have apps (new and old) that don't have Liquid Glass icons.

Apple does however capitalise Liquid Glass!

I should add that reggae tinged is better than it sounds :)

Also includes the majestic Brazil from umm Brazil.

Anyway, I'm off back to the 80s... a more civilised time

Kate Bush has released an album of b sides and other sides, which includes her reggae tinged cover of Rocket Man and the haunting Lyra from The Golden Compass film.

Once more cementing my position as being firmly not down with the kids...

The iOS 26 lock screen depth effect is very clever

I hope you like corner radii cos macOS Tahoe gives you a whole selection...

(This is four different windows maximised against each other on two displays, I haven't arranged anything just for this screenshot).

I quite like it overall. Some of the animations are a bit much, but not so much I'd switch them off yet.

The corner radius feels too much for me, just a bit too much.

Changes like this annoy me though, it's in no way a step forward or better.

David Hughes @davidhughes.org · 23d

Just not an improvement in anyway...

David Hughes @davidhughes.org · 23d

Much the same, but worse because the player controls now sit at the bottom of the window in a glassy lozenge... a bit shit imho
