I was so proud of myself recording three episodes of my podcast yesterday. I was keen to get ahead of schedule and have content lined up for when I’m on holidays next month.
Checking the recordings this morning, I realised that Zencastr had used the microphone in my Apple Studio Display as the source, rather than the Yeti Blue mic I use for the podcast. And so, I sounded like I’d recorded everything from inside Europe’s largest echo chamber.
So, so annoying. Nothing salvageable, a complete waste of yesterday morning.
I had to re-record all three episodes this morning. The only benefit? Each was better than the first attempt. But it’s not something I’d like to repeat.
Onwards and upwards.

Things aren’t looking great for Evernote (again)
The Verge: Evernote has laid off most of its US staff and will move most operations to Europe
Evernote became one of the first popular note-taking apps when it launched in 2008, but has struggled since the mid-2010s as other, similar apps began to steal some of its thunder and the company has found itself bogged down in messes of its own making.
I remember a time when I relied on Evernote for virtually everything.

Restoring my iMac to factory settings, so I can sell it. Surplus to requirements, now that I have my new Apple Studio Display and Mac Mini. This used to be quite a painful process, but newer versions of macOS make it a lot simpler.

My new iPhone lock screen and home screen, courtesy of the very talented Basic Apple Guy. And yes, I’ve also added the appropriate versions to my Mac and my iPads too. Because matching.
