It’s cool to see your own feature request that you’ve been beta testing forked into the main build. Thanks BusyCal team!
When dragging tasks from OmniFocus to create events, BusyCal now applies the duration (if any) to the event too.
Crypto - I Don't Buy the Hype
Friday, December 10, 2021
Either I’m an old man who is shaking his fist at the clouds, or I’m a rational person that isn’t easily bedazzled and deluded by the madness of crowds. I prefer to think I’m the latter. Crypto has captivated the masses, and delivered opportunity to the financial grifters who portray themselves as disciples of a new financial world order. I may be missing out on ‘easy wins’, trading cryptocurrencies - buying low, selling high.
So, yeah. I can’t sleep. What are others doing at 1:30am?
Subscribers (or Hemisphereans) to @hemisphericviews podcast now know about the PhD that @martinfeld is working on. One Prime Plus
Finished reading: The Process Is the Product by Paul Shirley 📚I had read most of the source material and I love basketball so this was up my alley. A quick read which would be a nice primer for people who have never dug into the world of productive work habits.
Chess Kids
Tuesday, December 7, 2021
I taught Benji chess today, and he began to understand it immediately We played a couple of games, which led to David becoming interested, so I taught him too. The boys had a good game between each other, with me coaching both of them. Tonight, Benji is sleeping with the chess set.
I have bought the Alfred Powerpack. I am sick of the glacial development pace of Launchbar, and the fact it seemed to be consuming excessive CPU cycles. I wonder if my muscle memory can be retrained?
I’m a subscriber of Drafts.app although my usage barely scratches the surface. I could probably be using it almost as a Textexpander replacement. I still find it’s UI virtually inscrutable though.
EPW Reawakening XX
Sunday, November 28, 2021
Last night our family and and some friends attended Explosive Pro Wrestling’s Reawakening XX show. This is EPW’s showcase annual event. Their Wrestlemania, if you are searching for a comparator. At a sold-out theatre the company put on an amazing show. I’ve always enjoyed wrestling and nothing beats being in a venue where everybody who is there “gets it”. No need to put up with the naysayers who talk about wrestling being fake, or silly, or whatever other negative comment they want to throw at it for some reason.

I nuked and reinstalled my iMac successfully. Although the problem that motivated the reset remains. Clearly a bug in the software (Marked.app).

I’m about to erase my iMac and reinstall Monterey. @Burk made me do it.
I’ve watched the first two episodes of Dopesick and I’m into it. Looking forward to the chance to watch more.
I am so bored.
Gallipoli, 1981 - ★★★★

Classic Australian movie that makes me sad for the events that occurred.
Flat white alone at the ice skating rink. Parenting is getting easier.

Super proud of the latest episode of @HemisphericViews. Rob from Fastmail was kind enough to join us to discuss ins and outs of the business of email. I also spend some time talking about the YNAB disaster. 🎙
Angel-A, 2005 - ★★★

An interesting approach to a redemption story. It kept me engaged but I didn’t enjoy the conclusion.
Anxiety has kicked my arse over the past 24 hours.
