When I change to a standing desk, I’m more apt to start walking when I’m ruminating. No destination in particular, but I have to pick one when I notice. Sitting in a cube farm at work, the behavior is not invisible. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/18/i-occasionally-wish-that-handedness/

I occasionally wish that “Handedness” was a preference setting I could modify in iOS accomodations #apple I’m a lefty (how sinister!) and some apps are designed for folks holding a device differently than I do. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/17/geek-problems-ive-tried-a/

Geek problems: I’ve tried a new keyboard that I love and now I want keyboards like it everywhere. I have plenty of keyboards. Good ones. It’s just that I have a new preference. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/15/very-sad-to-learn-summit/

Very sad to learn Summit Brewing is in foreclosure talks. I suppose an international concern will buy the naming rights and produce something and call it Summit, after this. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/10/once-upon-a-time-i/

Once upon a time, I was given a first gen iPad with cellular. That thing quickly became one of my favorite tech devices and I carried it with me pretty much everywhere for no good reason. Ever since then, I’ve wanted an iPad that had the same capabilities as an iPhone. I was super excited to get an iPhone 6+, because I thought certainly the larger screen meant apps more like the iPad. But, no. All the exact same stuff over some extra pixels. I was also super excited to get an Apple Watch. I’ve worn one every day since Series 4. I opted in for Wi-Fi and Cellular. Once again, I had hoped to ditch the phone. Again, I was disappointed to learn that the watch can’t do much on it’s own and is effectively an accessory and secondary screen for the phone. I like the unfolded form factor of the new iPhone Duo, I like the ability to use a stylus on a phone screen, finally . I like the screen size. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/09/i-had-really-hoped-more/

I had really hoped more for phone features in an iPad, but the iPad features in a phone is compelling. I won’t be able to swing a gen 1 or 2 from a price standpoint, but if the reviews remain positive, iPhone Duo could condense my daily carry. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/08/id-say-the-largest-portion/

I’d say the largest portion of my tech support role is to make technology tools actually perform the work they are designed for. I use the word “coax” a lot. But I’d suggest a good second portion of my work is noticing and correcting adjacent and related issues. Today I found that a network printer in a walled office had been plugged into a jack that formerly was used by a laptop docking station. The docking station network cable was not removed, just left hanging from the dock—unbeknownst to the office occupant, whose laptop was on Wi-Fi. Could be worse, but should be better. I went to grab a small, unmanaged switch to enable a second LAN connection in the office, but subseqently observed a second network port right next to the first . A quick trip to the network closet revealed that the port was already cross-connected to a network switch, so simply plugging in the hanging cable into t - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/07/got-the-opportunity-to-plug/

Got the opportunity to plug in and play an XBOX series X, yesterday. Spent several hours with a new Hogwarts Legacy character. I ve played many dozens of hours on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. I was surprised that there is so much more visual detail and terrain detail, comparing between platforms. I knew the Nintendo port required almost an additional year, but now I know why. Then I thought I d check out Minecraft. I bought the stand-alone game because I wanted to ensure that it didn t fall out of availability from Game Pass. But then, I wanted to play my Minecraft Realm world. And even though I ve had a Realm for years and haven t needed Game Pass to connect from my Nintendo Switch or my Windows PC, I had to subscribe to Game Pass for the ability to connect the XBOX. The option is visible but you can t use it until the subscription is live. So I do have Game Pass for the moment, but gr - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/07/i-see-governments-working-on/

I see governments working on data sovereignty. I believe we need personal data sovereignty and, further, we need to ensure our ability to communicate with our communities and loved-ones is also unbreakable. I m watching and learning. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/03/i-get-such-a-kick/

I get such a kick out of articles online describing non-Apple products as competitors to Apple products. Once you have had an experience, it’s going to set a bar. It’s going to change how you evaluate additional experiences. You don’t have to like what Apple does, ever. You don’t have to like retail prices. But if you’re comparing products, they are going to influence you. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/09/03/one-of-the-things-i/

One of the things I have started logging this year, to help me maintain a connection to the natural, is sunrise, sunset, and daylight hours. I’ve really been amazed at the relative speed of change, day to day. Nothing has changed in the world, but my awareness is now different. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/08/31/sony-if-no-one-can/

Sony, if no one can own what everyone else can also have, then certainly you have no ownership, either? I do not believe they are making the argument they think they are making. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/08/30/trying-out-atomic-desktops-bazzite/

Trying out Atomic desktops. Bazzite and Silverblue are pretty easy, coming from Ubuntu and Gnome. I read about the Cosmic desktop environment and have decided to give that a shot. Atomic desktops have forced some relearning of habits, and Cosmic is good but I wouldn t say I love it, today. I m not a developer, just a curious person and hobbyist. I support Windows, MacOS and iOS professionally–so I have opinions. I have made it an imperative to keep myself agile in the sense that I can do most things I like no matter what operating system is in front of me. There are some things inside of the Apple ecosystem that I do prefer every bit as much as I prefer Apple Hardware. But I have to say that being able to run a reasonably secure OS and modern applications on a modern kernel on hardware that isn t supported any longer from the commercial operating systems is pretty lovely. Oh, also trying - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/08/27/231928/

It takes a long time for me to work through a very basic planning session due to my motivation, attention span and bringing myself back from tangential research. It s part of my process but not something I can easily state will only occupy a certain amount of my Sunday. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/08/23/i-was-digging-into-the/

I was digging into the names of the week, today (as one does). I learned about the Chaldean planetary hours. There is a long chain of events including cultural appropriation and colonization, but, following the arrow of time, essentially the English weekday names are derived from practices begun in Babylon. - https://1-1.hjalmer.com/2026/08/21/today-i-finally-have-a/

Today I finally have a Keychron keyboard. There was a deal on Woot that I could not pass up. K8 with Brown switches. I regret nothing.
