Johnny•Decimal: A system to organise projects: There are a couple of core concepts, and they’re so simple you’ll wonder why you haven’t thought of them before. It’s worth mentioning at this point that all of this is free, and it’s possible to implement it without any additional tools. I was introduced to the Johnny Decimal filing system by @jack. I’m going to give a go with my own computer document filing.
I’m in today’s paper, smooching my wife! ❤️😘
My wife is the incoming Member for Victoria Park in the Western Australian State Parliament!
I love, love, love creating the @Hemisphericviews podcast with @Burk and @martinfeld. If you haven’t given it a chance, this is a fun one to start with. Performance reviews to pickles,episode 22 has it all.
Not often that I’m awake early enough to hear the kookaburras doing their morning laughs. Such a great sound.
That feeling when you wake up at 3:15am to record a podcast interview, then figure it’s not worth trying to go back to sleep after it’s done. I appreciate what @Burk deals with when we record @HemisphericViews now.

Calendar Hero » tyler.io: It sits on your Desktop, below all of your other windows, and…shows your weekly calendar. It highlights the current day, the current hour of that day, and shows a countdown until your next event. That’s it. That’s all I want. This is terrific for somebody like me who is guided through life by his calendar.

Giraffe It was amazing to be able to see the giraffes at Perth Zoo close-up yesterday. They have big heads!

I bought a set of Audio-Technica ATH-M50x to replace my ageing Bose QuietComfort 15s. I’d already replaced the earmuffs on the Bose’s a couple of times. Now the headphones have the exterior coating of the foam flaking off. I was also getting sick of having to replace the AAA battery on a regular basis. My headphones are basically restricted to desk use only these days, so I was happy to buy new headphones that didn’t feature Bluetooth - wiring into my EVO4 audio interface is fine, and in terms of latency and audio quality, preferable.

It’s been years since I’ve seen this movie. The editing is great; no scene is wasted. Christopher Lloyd is slapstick gold. Why don’t they make films like this anymore?
I love this album. It makes my wife contemplate an early death. music.apple.com
I’ve settled into a great ’daily notes and other documentation’ system using Dynalist. I’ve never had this much consistent success with any app, except for perhaps Day One, which I also still use.

Take two at publishing via wall.blot.im. When did this become a thing? Fascinating.

I also own 1Writer, which also plugs directly into Dropbox, and is, arguably, a better editor. It’s certainly a more fully-featured one. Yes, I own many text editors. It’s the curse of the tinkerer. I also forgot that you can pretend a file name with _ in Blot and it won’t publish it as a live post. I’ve done that with this entry, so ideally it will publish when I’m finished and ready - not when I’m just getting started.

I’ve owned Byword for many years. I think it was the first Markdown editor I bought, for both iOS and macOS. I abandoned it a long time ago as well, as it seemed to pale in comparison with other Markdown editors. In looking for an easier way to post to Blot via Dropbox, however, Greg Moore suggested Byword. I’ve installed it here on my iPad, and it does connect neatly to Dropbox - bypassing the futzy iOS Files.
