• Figured Out Music Pausing When Running with my Apple Watch

    by

    Iโ€™ve been trying to debug an issue when my Apple Watch where ย announcements from Siri cause Overcast to pause. The only way to resume it is to go back into Overcast and hit play.

    Before my most recent run, I synced some music on to my watch and the experience with Runkeeper was much smoother. As expected, when pace/time announcements start the music fades to half-level then fades up to the regular level when siri finishes as expected. So it seems like the music pausing may be a bug in Overcastโ€™s handling of siri announcements or Music having access to some APIs that regular devs donโ€™t.

    On second thought, most podcasts are spoken word and listening to Siri and your half-leveled podcast simultaneously would be a poor experience, so itโ€™s makes sense that it pauses playback when Siri starts. However, it would be nice if it resumed when Siri finished.

    Being able to drag and drop files to/from other Macs when screen sharing and having it "just work" like a local drag/drop is such an unsung feature.

  • The Week

    • I saw a good format for a weekly "week in review" blog post on Michael's microblog that Iโ€™m going to copy. It's just a bullet list of things that happened, but I hope it will allow me to capture the ideas that are between a status update a full post.

    • I figured out why some of my posts werenโ€™t receiving with webmentions with help from the indieweb irc chat. Webmentions are only enabled if trackback/comments are allowed. The posts that weren't working I drafted initially using MarsEdit, which turns off trackbacks by default. Unfortunately there isn't a per-post checkbox in my post admin interface, so it was non-obvious why some were working and some weren't.

    • The potential of Micropub finally clicked thanks to a talk by I watched by Chris.

    • I finished reading chapter one of the dragon book, though it no longer has a dragon on the cover. Thereโ€™s no real immediate work or project ideas for me to learn compiler design, but I know the principles will come in handy.

    • My Apple Watch has quickly made itself an indispensable part of my routine. The haptic wake up alarms and the reminders to stand while Iโ€™m working are the killer features for me so far. Running with it is also a game changer. Iโ€™m using the 4 hour weather look ahead on my wrist far more than I had thought I would. But thatโ€™s probably because itโ€™s the rainy season.

    • I went to St. Marc Cafe for a coffee and chocolate croissant. There wasn't an empty seat inside, which made me a bit nervous. Everyone was wearing a mask when they weren't drinking / eating and that location is large enough where there's plenty of space between tables.

    Deleted Tweetbot off my phone for a bit. Great app, but feel like I need a break from using Twitter directly.
