People asked for a version of Sleep Aid from the Mac App Store. Due to App Store guidelines it currently isn't possible, however I have started work on a Sleep Tracker that can at least tell how much insomnia your Mac suffers with. Here's an example with standard sleep options.

Not very exciting, but Apple approved our "Trader" status, so that means Europeans will still be able to download our apps from the Mac App Store. All the way through the process, I kept thinking about taking the easy way out, I think that was a deliberate design decision.

Did you know macOS 15 Sequoia changes the Mac Address of a computer, which can cause apps previously purchased from the Mac App Store to suddenly no longer open? If you’re still using Xojo, I’ve updated my OWStoreKitBridge code to workaround it. ohanaware.com/storeKitBrid...

Only a month ago I posted about a WRX Wagon, in that time my FXT developed a taste for CVTs and it's about to get a 3rd. The Mrs and I decided to get a new car and it's not a WRX Wagon. It's a little Suzuki Vitara. I'mma miss having power, but at least it's better for the environment.

I tried the @Subaru WRX Wagon, it reminded me of why I liked Subaru so much. subaru.asia/tw/en/vehicl... However, if it could be 15 cm shorter, increased ride height by 7 cm, come with X-Mode, a more squared off back end, I would be begging the Mrs to let me upgrade my FXT :)

Looks like the email addresses that need to be listed on the #AppStore are already being harvested and targeted by spammers and phishers. This is literally the first mail this address - which I created specifically for listing on the #AppStore - has received.

Screenshot of a faked "password expired" administrator email from a phisher trying to gain access to the email address.
