Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeI just watched “Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes” and despite not speaking Japanese I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great story. Well acted. Great cinematography. And it appears to have been completely filmed on…iPhones! I need to start practicing kanji again. If you watch it, hang in for the credits to see how they filmed some scenes.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeWhat am doing? Continuing to work on my dev environment on my Macbook. When I replaced my dying hard drive and upgraded to macOS Big Sur, my development environment quit working. Yesterday I ran brew doctor and actually evaluated the errors. Turns out my Mac was stuck on an update. After cleaning up LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents (yes, I was running 4 antivirus packages), clearing some caches, reseting some plists, and rebooting, I was able to install the OS update, brew upgrades, and new command line tools. Today I continue to get my development environment functioning optimally as well as installing some automated testing and deployment tools.
Tonight our 12 person crew has a wrap up meeting to discuss the good and the bad of the 14 day trip we took out west that included 4 days near the Grand Tetons in Curtis Campground and 9 days in the back country of the Bridger-Teton Wind River Range that took us to 11,000 feet above sea level and hiking in snow in July.
