Travelling in Indonesia so I’ve got the TunnelBear VPN cranking. It’s a solid product.

Springtime has arrived.

I’ve just got my Indieweb on and got OwnYourGram set up, so Instagram posts now get cross-posted to my website.

This is a post being made through Quill, after signing in via an Indieweb authorisation.

Investors’ cash drained for big Bux lifestyles | The West Australian

Withdrawal after withdrawal of other people’s investments channelled from a pool of up to $100 million raised in the name of a money transfer phone application that went nowhere.

It amazes me how consistently people fall for those scams.

Klaus has done it again at his new Productivity Tips site - this one is an amazing Workflow to help fling files into DEVONthink.

I have successfully guided myself into 2 weeks of holiday time with nothing appearing in my OmniFocus forecast for the entire period of my break. Planning victory!

It’s great to have NBL basketball back. πŸ€

The Blot/Microblog Community

This website is powered by Blot.im.

I also have an account at micro.blog. Those posts originate from my Wordpress instance running on my main” site, andrewcanion.com.

I like having this blot site, with my thinking being that it’s for random ephemera and other bits and bobs that aren’t as important” as those posted on my proper” blog.1

On a whim, I reached out to the Micro.blog community (at least that part of the community that I have connections with) in an attempt to find others who also have Blot-hosted sites. I wanted to see what others are doing with theirs.

This led to an interesting conversation, with some great nuggets of information shared around. The award, however, has to go to John Philpin for his compiled list of users and their sites.

It’s this kind of co-operation amongst strangers that makes the internet fun again.

An interesting combination of Siri Shortcuts with DEVONthink and Airmail.

I watched Baby Driver. I didn’t love it.

In macOS Mojave I’ve built a macro using Keyboard Maestro to automatically switch between Light and Dark modes for day and night, respectively, since Apple failed to incorporate that obvious feature themselves.

I’m looking forward to the NBL v NBA games coming up this week. Such a shame my Perth Wildcats will be without their starting centre, Angus Brandt. We needed that unit, who has a build like Aaron Baynes. πŸ€

Royal Show!

A Successful Day at the Office

It was great to be able to provide business advice and support to an iconic Perth business - Scott Print, as part of my work as a Business Adviser with the Entrepreneurs' Programme.
