Since the election in Sweden a couple of weeks ago there are a lot of local, regional and even the state government where there’s uncertainty about who’s going to rule. A lot of coalition attempts are tried and fails.
This week however, at least one of the local governments in my region is putting that aside to prioritise more urgent matters. The yearly moose hunt.
It actually think that is a sign of good health for the Swedish democracy.

This doesn’t seem entirely correct… (It says my work timer has been running for 48 years.)

🎞 Watched: Iron Man 2
Another entertaining Marvel movie. Not great by any means, I especially didn’t like neither the character Ivan Vanko not Mickey Rourke’s performance. Also the Iron Man fight scenes is kind of boring but the rest is fun.

🎞 Watched: Thor
This was definitely one of those movies that I wrote off as complete garbage prior to watching. However The Incomparable’s Summer of Marvel really opened my eyes to the Thor movies, so I gave it a shot and it was actually an okay movie. Not as good as Captain America, but still a lot of fun and I’m glad I watched it.

🎞 Watched: Captain America: The First Avenger
I’ve not really gotten into the MCU movies before. All I’ve watched prior to this one was the first Iron Man and the first two Avengers movies and while I liked Iron Man, the Avengers movies did not impress me. However, after The Incomparable’s Summer of Marvel I felt like I might have been missing out on some entertaining movies and since Netflix has added some of the early MCU movies I decided to give this one a chance.
Turns out, I really liked it. It’s far from a perfect movie but it was really entertaining and in contrast to Logan it was fun and uplifting. After seeing this movie I actually have some appreciation for the character of Captian America who previously has been more or less unknown to me.
Also, I’m always up for watching a movie where Tommy Lee Jones gets to be as Tommy Lee Jones as possible.

🎞 Watched: Logan – The Wolverine
I didn’t really have high hopes for this movie and unfortunately it didn’t prove me wrong. I think I’m just tired of these bleak near-future post apocalyptic stories.

Wait, has the Workflow app been changed to Shortcuts, not replaced? I mean, is the Workflow app on my phone actually the same app as what will be Shortcuts is I update to iOS 12?
I’m confused.
@MrHenko I think it’s the same and just got rebranded. If you searched for shortcuts in Spotlight, the search result was still named Workflow, although this has changed now 😉
@hutaffe Seems something like that, yes.
I just tried to download Workflow to my iPad, where I haven’t had it before. A search for it just showed me the Shortcuts app. Since nothing about Shortcuts on the App Store told me that it in fact was Workflow, instead I tried to find the app store link from my phone where I do have Workflow installed. When I searched my list of installed apps via the App Store app I found Shortcuts instead of Workflow. Really confusing!
So I installed Shortcuts on the iPad, got an error message telling me that the latest version isn’t compatible with my OS (iOS 11) and asked me if I wanted to install an older version. I said yes and got Workflow installed.
If this had happened on Android it would be the kind of thing that Apple nerds (myself included) would complain about as ”typical Android”. ”This poor user experience is why iOS is superior”, etc.
@MrHenko yeah… I don’t know why they didn’t just really replace it. Would have been much better understandable. I searched for the Shortcuts app and didn’t find it. Instead it showed up in the Updates section, but I never installed it… I had Workflow… confusing.
@hutaffe Either that or kept the Workflow name. Doing that would also avoid the problem that seems to be present now when there are shortcuts (lowecase s) and there are Shortcuts (uppercase s), or possibly Shortcuts shortcuts.
@MrHenko it’s mostly the same; but there are a few differences in some of the integrations and the Siri activation. For my iPad, restarting after the update showed the update to Shortcuts and things changed from there. However, the system name is still Workflow in several areas, and also when connecting/reconnecting to apps like Evernote
@Avancee It’s a good thing that Workflow is/was something that mainly ”power users” used. This transition seems like somtehing that would confuse the hell out of a regular non-technincal user.
@MrHenko Indeed. For as much as people have love to see the workflows that I’ve created; they are just a little bit further out there that many people want to travel. That said, it’s a very similar reaction to when people used to talk about macros in Excel. Which means the learning curve, and the potential to do a whole lot more, is open for as many developers and power users who want to explore

2 oktober, 2018 02:59@MrHenko Ask 5 people which Thor movie is the best and you’ll get 3 different answers. People like to pretend all the Marvel movies are the same but Thor 1-3 and Captain America 1-3 are perfect examples of why that’s not true. Everyone can tell you their fave; one person hates another person’s favorite Thor movie and vice-versa.

2 oktober, 2018 12:14@sirshannon That’s interesting! I’m looking forward to watching more Cap and Thor movies.
Which ones are your favorites?
