Memories restored

During last week and today I blogged about how iCloud Photos just seemingly has deleted all images from our Disneyland trip in 2019. That caused me to migrate all photos to Google Photos as a backup. This worked well. I also found an external drive I could use to download my full... Read the rest →

Update — April 11th, 2025

I’m coming up to a few anniversaries for my projects and I thought I’ll do a quick recap of where it’s all at. Tinylytics The code is a little over two years old now, and I officially launched in June, around 2 years ago. It’s been super successful in my eyes. I... Read the rest →

iCloud deleted Disneyland

In 2019 we went to Disneyland, a place that I am incredibly fond of, and it was an emotional rollercoaster on a personal level. Not only could I show my daughter and my wife the place, it was a step back into my childhood. We made memories as a family, mostly... Read the rest →

Update — Feb 20th, 2025

Can you believe it, it’s 2025! How time flies. I wanted to keep this short as I’ve been working across all my projects for the past few weeks, and I’ve also been busy with client work — more than usual, which is a good thing! Going into this year, as I... Read the rest →

Mojo JoJo

It’s rare, yet I hope it lasts, that I’ve been able to just concentrate on coding the past 2 days. It feels like I managed to work 5 days worth in just under 48 hours. Holding onto this feeling even if I am running on 2 hours of sleep today. Holding off... Read the rest →
