Plans for January 2021

Hey, everyone! January is here, and I have exciting plans for this month. Here are some of the things I hope to work on:

iOS development
If you follow me over on Twitter, you may have seen my recent post about getting my first Mac (a late 2014 Mac mini). It can run the latest version of Xcode, so I'm excited to say that I have started working on my first iOS app! Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to release it for a little while. At the time I'm writing this, I am completely new to Swift and Xcode, so I have a lot to learn before I can release my first app. However, I do hope to spend a lot of time learning the basics of iOS development this month!

binoc update
I also hope to work on an update for the Android version of binoc this month. It probably won't be a huge update, but there probably will be a new feature or two.

PDF Toolbox v1.5
It's been a little while since I last updated one of my Windows programs. If I have the time, I may release an update for PDF Toolbox later this month.

Violoncello update
I might also release another Violoncello update before the end of the month. We'll see!

The conclusion...
I'm excited to see how January goes! Keep in mind that these plans may be subject to change. This is just a simple list of things I hope to work on this month. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more updates!

What's in John's Backpack? (EDC)

I may no longer be a computer science major, but I'm still fascinated by electronics of all kinds. That's why I take great pleasure in writing about my "everyday carry," that being the devices that I regularly take along with me. These are often being swapped around, as I am an enthusiast at heart, but some of these have stuck around for a long time. So, here's the list: Phone: iPhone 15 Pro (128 GB) It's a very nice phone. That's about all I have to say about it. Like most people, I'm pretty apathetic toward iPhones. I prefer iOS for my needs, and it does what I need it to. 'Nuff said. Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...
