Follow Up on Notes
I received a tonne of responses to my question about notes systems. I've also had a couple people email me asking for an update, as they're interested too. This is that update.
Delio Phase Two
The second book in RR Haywood's Delio series. Great all the way through, but disappointing at the end.
First #run back after a week on Chicago and lots of indulgence. Plus, ~30 degree heat. Feel good now that my heart has stopped trying to pop out of my chest. 🏃🏼♂️
Yes, Hooman. I am fluffy. Whatcha gonna do about it?
You know what really pisses me off? When my wife sends an urgent text asking me to bring the washing in as it's about to rain. Only to moan at me for not immediately seeing the message.
...if it's so bloody urgent, call me! 🤣
Finding a Home on the Fediverse
I've been flip-flopping around the Fediverse lately. My most recent hop was from Micro.blog back to Fosstodon, but I've decided to switch back. Here's why...
If you deliberately don't capitalise the text you write, I'm probably not going to read it.
It's not edgy. It makes you look like a Muppet.
Finished watching The Pitt last night. Probably one of the best TV series I've ever seen. Superb.
Why TF does #Ubuntu not automatically switch to dark mode when it's night time? Like, it's 2025 FFS.
When did people start substituting putting the phone to their ear in favour of being on loudspeaker in public?
Fucking idiots.
Flying to Chicago (via Dublin) at 8am tomorrow morning. That means I'll be up at 04:30. On a Sunday. Brilliant.
When I used an #iPhone Siri was good enough for my use case - set a timer, what's 65f in c, remind me to do xyz at 10am on Monday.
On the other hand, #Gemini is absolute dog shit. Reminders don't work properly, timers are hit and miss, and answers to simple questions are ridiculously verbose. It's just shite. 💩
Trying #Beeper after reading about it on @mike blog. It works well and it's handy not having 3 messaging apps, but it's gonna take some getting used to.
Brilliant. Thanks #PiHole. 🤦🏼♂️
How Do You Take Notes?
I need a better way of organising my notes, to-dos and tasks. I have crap all over the place at the moment, so if you have a system, I'd love to know what it is.
A Month of Running
I haven’t run regularly in over 10 years. I’ve tried multiple times to get back into it, but it’s always fizzled out. This time feels different.
It's not just me, this potato looks like Admiral Ackbar, right?
🏷️ #StarWars
Fedi #hivemind, I need you.
I use OneNote in work. It's shit, but it's all I have. I need a better way of managing my notes and particularly my to do list. The latter is really the most important. Ideally it has an option to set "next action" so I know what's due on any given day.
I can't install anything on my work laptop, so I intend to run it on my personal Ubuntu machine, for both work and home.
Any recommendations?
RIP Ozzy. 🦇
Lots of butthurt people responding to my wrist phone post (lots of good dialogue too BTW).
Remember folks, opinions are like arseholes. Everyone has one. 🙃
