Experimenting with Claude Code and some FIT files to try and map out some of my workout data. Pretty neat what a couple of fairly well crafted prompts can churn out

Today, my research group @ Georgia Tech released a paper on vulnerabilities in Tile --- the second largest device finding network after Apple's AirTags. You can read about it in Wired, reporting by @kimzetter.bsky.social! www.wired.com/story/tile-t...

Very neat Mark! I've been thinking about (too long) for doing something similar. Nice to see something to give me some inspiration

Currently just supports iPhone & Apple Watch, as they're two devices I own and the battery health is simple and easy to find

Ever wanted a quick way to check your Apple device battery health against the release specs? #AppleEvent batteryscope.netlify.app Threw this together quickly, with a bit of AI assisted development 🎉

Another decent #AppleEvent. Although still can't believe AirPods Max are 5 years old now, with no real new release. Sorry but USB-C and new colours doesn't count 😆

Sights of summer trickling in. Another scorcher of a day ahead in April, hoping this means we’ve got a packed summer of this weather! This is a picture from last nights ride in the glorious West Yorkshire hills 🌞

No it’s super slick, mobile app that you just buy credits and book 60 minutes or more 👍 It varies in price, and certainly a premium service, but an hour cost me £20 last night between 10 and 11. Fully stocked with WiFi, Bluetooth speaker, private and secure. Would love to see more of these!

So much talk about AI coding tools, vibe coding, AI agents So many complaints of these tools “breaking down” above some complexity / context length So little - basically no - talk about software architecture that makes for code devs can easily maintain/evolve. Or AI tools!

Aaaand we’re back in business! Dusted off the old ClusterHAT 2.3 and been tinkering with some Homelabby SOC this evening. Also migrated my PiHole instance to it as a first ditch play! It’s also hooked up to a Tapo energy monitoring plug 🤓. Super cool!

Haha! I opened it up today and was just met with absolute rubbish. Decided enough is enough. I’m just gonna clean house. I’d deactivate it entirely, but then you lose access to the developer portal. Not that it’s particularly exciting, but effort to resign up again

Nevermind, after re-authing with X and clearing some cache, I seem to have been able to request an archive. Will hopefully trial this soon 👍

James Millner @jamesmillner.dev · 13/03/2025

I seem to remember a few folks had some open tools around to remove all your content from X. I've lost my references to them. Has anyone got any recommended tools for the job?

I am well a truly an Impossibrew convert. It tastes great! For those that don’t know / haven’t tried it yet. It’s an alcohol free beer (ale, which is the one I prefer) that gives you a nice buzz! I’d highly recommend giving it a punt. Lovely stuff!

I love this comic so much. "But-" MONETIZE YOUR FREE TIME

4 panel comic.

Panel 1: A man is happily knitting. He thinks what a relaxing hobby he has. A purple demon emerges from behind the couch and angrily bellows TURN IT INTO A SIDE HUSTLE

panel 2: "Can't I just enjoy it?" NO! MAKE YOUR PASSION YOUR PASSIVE INCOME

panel 3: "But-" MONETIZE YOUR FREE TIME the demon bellows inches from his face

Panel 4: the man glowers unhappily behind a display of multicolored scarves, his booth is titled Kevin's Stupid Scarves. Each sells for $20, which is comically undervalued.

Yeah I do love using the bikes, really handy for getting around the city! It just astounds me how careless some riders are diving through oncoming traffic

James Millner @jamesmillner.dev · 15/01/2025

Granted, the vast majority are rent-a-bike users that are to blame here. But plenty of average commuters that just plow through junctions with oncoming traffic

James Millner @jamesmillner.dev · 15/01/2025

Down in London for my first couple in-person weeks at my new engineering role (more on that soon!) But “cyclists” in London are mental. It’s a bloody free for all at junctions and they seem to be wearing glasses that convert all street lights to green!
