Do today has been kind of weird one.

Me and my girlfriend visited someone who may be joining the family soon. So I’ll clear that up in the near future!

The rest of the day was spent getting ready for one of my family parties. Yep have a big family, and we have pretty loud parties! Thai time it was my cousins thirtieth birthday, so that’s as good as a reason as any. Well, I’m still at that party as I’m writing this entry. So far I’ve been drinking (a lot), singing, and dancing.

I forgot to say that it was a karaoke party. So we had a real band, and then random groups of people would sing a song. Unfortunately, me and my brother sung a song with me girlfriend and aunt, but we requested our second a bit too late.

I still think that we were the life of the party. But them videos won’t make it to the internet.

Wooo! It’s Friday.

Work was good again. Our team has joined another one to build a new project, and the collaboration is going well.

After I finished work, me and my girlfriend joined my family at the pub/restaurant for dinner. That took us to nearly 11 pm.

So it’s now 11pm as I’m writing this, and we’ve just started watching the third episode of Hanna! I think it will be just the one episode tonight, because we’re both a bit tired from a busy week.

It was an interesting day at work today. I was working on a new project that involves writing Java plugins for an authentication platform (I’m aware this is vague, and strange as a mobile developer, but I’m not actually sure how much I can say about my fag job), and our team made some good progress! We even had a productive meeting, which isn’t always what usually happens.

When I got home, I cooked chicken fajitas for me and my girlfriend. Then we watched the first two episodes of a series called Hanna, it’s a bit strange, but I’m liking it.

Now it’s tile to relax in bed, and get an easy night, like the apparent adults we are.

For today’s journal entry, I could literally copy yesterday’s, and change the title. Essentially, everything I did was the same.

Of course, I did different things at work, and watched different YouTube videos in the evening. But it was still the same base schedule of work, dinner, YouTube, bed, with added Lost sprinkled between.

Although there are 122 episodes of Lost, I’ve already managed to watch 84 of them! Hopefully something else comes out soon that I can watch. Otherwise, I’ll have to complete another old tv show.

Back to the average day again. I actually went into the office today, as the trains were back to normal. And then I ended up leaving late, so there wasn’t much time left in the day.

When I got back, I popped out for a coffee with friends. And then I’ve just been watching YouTube with my girlfriend.

One thing that is good from today, is that me and my girlfriend have decided that we want to get a cat. And we think we’ve found one that we like nearby that we can adopt! 🐱

It was a bit of a different start to the working week today, because I was working from home. And that means, I make my own lunch fresh, coffee whenever I want it, and when I finish work, I’m already at home!

That meant I could do some more work in the garden while it was still sunny. I didn’t do much, just rotating some of the soil, because there are huge lumps of clay everywhere.

I was also in charge of cooking dinner, for me, my girlfriend, and her sister. I cooked chicken quesadillas, and they turned out pretty well.

After that I’ve just been relaxing in front of the television. I just finished a documentary about Barcelona F.C. called “Take the Ball, Pass the Ball”. It’s truly fascinating.

It was Mothers Day today, so obviously I spent my afternoon at the parents house. Me and my girlfriend went to see hers afterwards, so it wasn’t one-sided.

After spending time with out families, it was just about time for dinner. After which, I popped out for coffee with a few friends, and I’m now sat in front of Netflix.

I can’t say I had an extravagant day, but it was good to get out of the house and see our families!

After going to bed surprisingly early last night, I still had a pretty long lie in this morning. I woke up at about 11 am!

After me and my girlfriend had our morning tea/coffee, and watched a bit of television, we headed into town for lunch at our regular cafe. Of course they simply asked if we wanted the usual. We go there quite a lot.

While we were there I got a few bits for mother’s day tomorrow, and some other usual bits we needed for the house.

After we got back, there wasn’t much time to anything else, as I went out with my friends for a meal in London. We went to a vegan pizza restaurant called Purezza, it was very good! I’m not a vegan, so I think I can provide a bit of an alternate perspective sometimes. And this certainly tasted much better than a lot of non-vegan pizzas I’ve had before.

Now I’ve got home, I think it’s time to watch a movie (probably Avengers: Infinity War), and go to bed.

Just over one week ago, I released the first major update to Text Case. Since then, I’ve written and published four guides on different parts of the app. While they don’t combine to create a Text Case “User Manual”, I think they explain the most fundamental parts, and hopefully some features that users will be surprised by.

What Is Title Case?

In the first guide, I explained what Title Case is, and where it’s used. Title Case is the major format in Text Case, as that’s the most popular one for writers, because it’s more complicated than you’d think.

In Text Case, I support four different standards of Title Case, so this guide explains the standards, and also how to customise them in the app.

Read the guide.

Customising Text Case

Quite self-explanatory, but as there are quite a lot of things you can customise inside Text Case, I thought it would be useful to have these explained all in one place.

Read the guide.

Using the Action Extension in Text Case To Format Text

As I mentioned before, Text Case has an Action Extension, so you can use Text Case to format any text selection in iOS. This guide explains how to enable the extension, and also how to use it.

Read the guide.

Using Siri with Text Case

You can use Text Case with Siri Shortcuts, and also as an action inside the Shortcuts app. This guide explains every thing Siri-related.

If you haven’t already got a copy of Text Case, you can find it on the App Store.

It’s not long after 10pm here, but this week has really tired me out to the point t that I’m now completely shattered. So I’m going for a super early night (usually I’m up well past 12).

That means, this won’t be a very long journey al entry. Thankfully, I don’t actually get up to much.

I went to work as usual, came back home, cooked a pasta bake for dinner, did some cleaning round the house, and the man I played about ten minutes of World of Warcraft. In the mean time I watch loads more Lost!

That’s all you’re getting from me today. Come back tomorrow for more of the regular scheduled journal content.

I’m going to bed.
