I am curious. I help people frustrated with how difficult it is to use technology. Find me working at APi Group, writing at Micro.blog and posting on Instagram.

Getting really odd returns on iPadOS 26.4 from an automation designed to retrieve Notes with the current day and month in the title.
This is different from iPadOS 26.3 where Notes simply crashed while the automation was running.

Lost the last of three sweet little dogs I had the privilege of loving, this morning. A Cairn Terrier named Luci. Poor thing just could not breathe. So we sent her home. Grateful for the doctors who helped us.

I wish individual Notes had anchor tags, like old HTML, so I could have a sort of table of contents for a long note and jump from the top of a note to a specific section.
