Goodbye PC and Windows

Today I did some python django programming related to my website, tested it and pushed the code to source control, all from my Apple Ipad.  I then used the Ipad’s own browser to update it on the live web host. 

The significance of this is that I no longer have a use for my PC laptop running Windows.  It still runs reasonably, albeit slowly and noisily.  Before I pack it away for good, I will back up all the files on it and then it’s goodbye.

Working copy app

As a programmer on an Apple IPAD, I cannot recommend enough the Working Copy app that is available on Apple Store.  I use it to clone, commit and push code repositories on Github. The great bonus is that cloning a project will download it into a new directory in the Working Copy local directory.  The push functionality no longer requires passkeys or multiple logins if you are logged into the Github account via the app.  

In short, I wish such a thing was available when I was paid to do IT back in the 1990s and 2000s.
