I've been working on an iPad/macOS dashboarding app (spiritual successor to Panic's Status Board if you can remember it).

Soft launched and looking for feedback.

I made a thing: Second Reality Augmented.

A remastered version of the classic with a few trick up its sleeve.

@Otheruk Over a month after having my return handed over to you, I’m still waiting for a refund. Emailed, no response. Let’s make it more public then.

[Pedro Gomes @pedrogomes]

@tapairportugal Too late for that now. Will never use your services again.

[Pedro Gomes @pedrogomes]

@tapairportugal My flight was cancelled,
moved to a different day, and now cancelled again and moved to a much later time. Was on hold on the phone for 1h30. Finally spoke to someone who kept interrupting and eventually hung up. Unacceptable.

@realDonaldTrump PLEASE TYPE LOUDER

@realDonaldTrump 👋 👋

It’s been just over a year since I stopped focusing on iOS full-time. These days I work mostly on Audio related things and tooling. Mostly writing C++ and occasionally Python.
Learning a lot, so, no regrets.

TIL: Poland Bears exist 🤷‍♂️

It’s 2020 and I still get randomly signed out of pretty much everything randomly. Usually when I actually need to do something useful. Lovely.

[Pedro Gomes @pedrogomes]

@RevolutApp Certainly. I’m waiting.

[Pedro Gomes @pedrogomes]

@RevolutApp Made a bank transfer 14 days ago and the funds are in a limbo. I have no satisfactory answers or an ETA for resolution. This is certainly not the future of banking I envisioned.

I suspect the main reason phone’s screens keeping getting larger is attempt to overcome the inevitable: cookie banners.

This supernatural phenomenon that obscures content cannot be stopped.

@cavacoluis I was once served an ad for a private jet. As in, to purchase a private jet. 🤷‍♂️

[Pedro Gomes @pedrogomes]

I found the whole tone of the Apple photography keynote quite irritating.

Incredible tech for sure but these days that’s true for a lot of vendors, it no longer excites me as it once did (maybe I’m just older).

I think my next camera will run Android.

[Pedro Gomes @pedrogomes]

@misenkitchen I just received my order. Nearly stabbed myself. How do we fix this? Counting on your support.

[Pedro Gomes @pedrogomes]

@VirginTrains Yes I did, and forward facing. I got neither.

[Pedro Gomes @pedrogomes]

@VirginTrains £350 for a return ticket to Manchester and I can’t even get a power outlet? Is this a joke?
