What's a good registrar for .fm? #lazyweb

Yes, there will be a @CocoaheadsWGTN event during #WWDC. Watch this space for an announcement.

Apple’s VP of Apple Pay Jennifer Bailey today announced NFC stickers. This means iOS users will be able to pay for things (that are not supervised) without even needing an app or an account (!).

I did not expect the extra queues after security just to get to the gate of NZ8. That's even before boarding.

20 min long so not easy to overlook.

Travelling to the US from NZ. I use Revolut as my travel card, but to top it up I use TransferWise.

This approach works for me, but it may or may not work for you.

I'm disappointed that the latest iOS stock camera crashes while taking a portrait photo on my iPhone X. Stuff like this can drive me to other platforms/ devices.

TIL If you have a rogue stock ticker in your #iOS today widget that you cannot remove via the Stocks app (!), try getting rid of it via the macOS Today view. The removal will sync via iCloud to your iOS devices, too.

So good to be back home. I missed #Wellington more than the usual.

The Notre Dame fire makes me so sad.

Miss 5 just had her first day of school holidays. She went to Armageddon and came back with a bagful of goodies and a henna tattoo. And, of course, she's completely exhausted.

New Zealand is the 4th largest market that Amazon ships products to, from the countries where Amazon does not have an official store.

#APPL stock has grown by more than 40% since Jan 2, 2019.

Doomed or not doomed?

First they tracked what was on screen. Now they optimise what they show us in the “sponsored” channel. That’s why my TV cannot call “home”.

"After much effort, we’ve concluded AirPower will not achieve our high standards and we have cancelled the project. [..] We continue to believe that the future is wireless and are committed to push the wireless experience forward".

Sounds like a failed kickstarter, except it's from @apple

Not surprised the Apple Card won't come to New Zealand just yet. But quite surprised that the TV service will. #AppleEvent

I won the #wwdc lottery. Don’t tell my bank.

I launch the @TVNZ iOS app.
It prompts me to enable Push.
Then it crashes.
I'm left with the Alert to enable Push.
I sigh.
