Spent some time this weekend figuring out how to properly implement a single application instance in #Delphi applications. Found an old article that describes it in great detail and built (then published) a complete sample application. johnwargo.com/posts/2025/d...

OMG I f#cking hate Gradle. I upgraded to the latest Pixel device and now I'm trying to put some of my personal apps back on it and it's just a nightmare to get older Flutter apps to build for newer devices. I spent hours getting one to work and now an even older one is killing me.

I got a new Pixel 9 a few weeks ago and the only hang-up is the Cash App. They won't let me in my account and support refuses to help me except to repeat instructions that I've already tried twice and didn't work. Time to close my account methinks

Created a table in an Obsidian note today for the first time. I love that the editor gives you the ability to quickly drag the rows around. Columns too. I like it.
