🔗 In a sign of the times, podcast app Castro may be dying..
I moved over to Overcast a couple of years ago - but this is very sad. Really liked Castro. 😢
🪦🖇️ Et tu Henry?
A biopic! On the Orange Clown?
I feel like channeling McEnroe.
It started out as a stroll and then before you knew it ….
Meanwhile - if you know the 📽️ TV show ‘My Life Is Murder’ - with Lucy Lawless - this is the little café that is often featured.
The view in the direction that they often show.
The view with a 180 degree shift.

Well they’ll save a lot of money just having the snow ready to go, rather than having to create it in a desert.

Flagging this to highlight that I am betting that Wired is WRONG. I will come back to it in the future - let’s say round about the end of Q1, beginning of Q2, 2024?
The Wired link is from June. Meanwhile 🖇️ me in October. I will try to find a few more.
🎬 Spinal Tap 2 … 👎 or 👍 ❓

I’m not entirely sure what the priority is for your own parking space …
“Steve Jobs would not be proud of his wife, Laurene, and the way she is spending his money.”
Donnie .. he’s dead. Laurene is no longer his wife and it isn’t his money .. it’s hers.
Then again, if he wasn’t dead, I’m pretty sure he would totally approve!
🪦 RIP Geordie Walker 🎵

📺 Who Is Erin Carter?
It’s one of ‘those’ Netflix shows. Pot Boiler. Not riveting, but I didn’t give up. It was fine.
Is Your Flagged Message Count Not The Same As The Actual Message Count? I've Got A Fix.
Back in the day, there used to be a ‘Mail on Mac’ problem where the flag count was NOT the same as the actual message count. The fix was to delete the plist - and it would magically reset.
‘Back in the day’ suggests the problem might be a thing of the past. Sorry - it isn’t.
It’s the ‘deleting the plist’ that is a thing of the past … at least for this bear - who has not been able to find it. And if you cant find it … you can’t delete it. Meanwhile the count variation has been getting worse.
Yesterday I spent some time trying to work out how to fix it.
SUCCESS.
Seems like ‘all’ you do is disconnect your Mac Mail from ‘The Cloud’ … ‘let a bit of time pass’ … whatever the hell that means … and reconnect - and all will be well.
Not Wrong. That’s what I did and voila. Fixed.
Two Caveats
In my particular case
-
I replaced ‘let a bit of time pass’ with ‘reboot mac’.
-
I didn’t worry for the first two hours after rebooting that most of my email is missing - but by then I had moved into panic. So switched on the ‘mail connection doctor’ and enabled ‘show detail’ … and indeed it was buzzing along - left it over night and today all back and flag count fixed. (Apparently I have a LOT of archived mail in my cloud).
Going to have to update the film ahow review section … the backlog had been building.
