How did you spend your Monday night? I spent mine reorganising cables in the TV cabinet. Living large.
Back working at the library today. My crappy work-supplied Microsoft Surface lasted about an hour before the battery died. Meanwhile, my iPad and trusty 2013 MacBook Pro are still going strong. I have to use Windows for one insane VB-based Word template. It’s terrible.
Considering an upgrade to Google Wifi. Currently I’m relying on an AirPort Extreme and a second AirPort Time Capsule. I have Ethernet backbone but the wireless handoffs are unreliable. Wondering if a mesh network would make a meaningful difference.
I only gave up on Facebook last week but I’ve missed it not a bit and have recovered time that is being put to better use. www.theverge.com
Man about town.
“If they hadn’t provided me with a ☕️ stat, I was prepared to blow the joint up.”
Just updated my /now page.
Selfie fun in the city.
Makers vs. Managers discussed at Farnam Street Blog. I’m predominantly a maker, and those long time blocks needed to reach deep focus are critical and generally under-appreciated by others.
I’ve bought Braintoss for iOS as an adjunct to OmniFocus. I just discovered the ISBN search it offers: take a photo of an ISBN and it provides you an email with the name and synopsis of the book. Pretty cool!
I just deactivated my Facebook account. Just so sick of the combination of junk and negativity. I don’t need that.
I’ve been a FastMail customer for almost a year. Now I’m finally transferring contacts sync to them and shutting down iCloud contacts sync.
I had a sandwich for breakfast, a steak for lunch, and now I’m eating cereal for dinner. The whole world has gone topsy-turvy.
Date night so we went to see Thor Ragnarok. I had no expectations going in and knew nothing of it having not seen any Marvel movies for a while. But I’m giving it 👍🏻👍🏻 up.
Early into this book recommended by @manton but so far I’m enjoying the thought exercise.
I think it might be time for Apple to implement something akin to Microsoft’s old ‘trustworthy computing’. This High Sierra security flaw is an abrogation of their responsibility towards secure computing.
I just got a Google Home Mini as a reward for shopping at Woolworths. The Google Assistant really kicks Siri’s butt. This is where ecosystem lock-in is so frustrating. My music is with Apple Music, my calendars are with Fastmail, so I miss some of the benefits.
Australia.
I’ve discovered a number of new (to me) independent voices through micro.blog. It’s good to find and follow new blogs.
Happy Booj from above.
