"I have only once felt mildly famous and that was I think it was 2018 WWDC where we went to the Apple Park whatever it's called," he says. "That is the kind of thing that can only happen mostly only happens when you're like within one mile radius of WWDC." He has also been recognized by Stephen Fry, a fellow Twitch user who saw him on his channel. 'It just means probably way more to the person receiving it than maybe the person giving it but it's yeah'
In this episode, Rosemary and David are joined by creator of PCalc, Dice and About (by PCalc), James Thomson. They talk about James' first implementations of automation in his apps, as well as what automations he's using now, and AppleScript vs Shortcuts.

Quote by Douglas Adams
“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
