Trying out Obsidian. I signed up for a years of sync (there’s a special right now if you sign up before 2024) and I’m slowly migrating notes from various other apps/services.

Key is that it does native Readwise highlight sync (well, with a plugin). Seems like a nicely built app, too.

(I don’t think it’s working)

If you’re a solopreneur or run a little side business, do you do any kind of financial planning/forecasting as the fiscal year comes to an end? As you start planning for a new product/service launch?

Why or why not?

If you’re like me and can’t ever figure out what’s selected in the tv UI at a glance, enable this in the Settings app:

Accessibility > Display > Focus Style > High Contrast

It’ll put a white border around the focused element on the screen.

Expecting a whole lot of snow in Montreal the next couple of days. I’m watching it come down as I sit in a coffee shop, enjoying an Americano as I debug some SwiftUI navigation code.

I do feel for everyone that will be dealing with the Monday morning commute, though. 😬

I’m looking for a way to run occasional online surveys—ideally the product is from a small indie team, and relatively inexpensive. I don’t need capabilities for thousands of surveys and/or respondents, just good UX, privacy, and accessibility.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

My favourite Watch face continues to be Explorer. It’s subtle, doesn’t offend too much uh in low-light situations, and lets me keep an eye on key complications (WaterMinder and Pedometer++).

Good morning to those who celebrate

Turns out, Aeropress makes a better coffee if you remember to use a filter. ☕️😴

If you’re running a Discourse site: are you self-hosting (e.g. on a VPS), using a Discourse-dedicated hosting service (e.g. Communiteq), or using Discourse’s own service?

Pretty happy with how I’ve customized my Action Button shortcut.

How do people have plants and cats in the same home? We have a 40” money tree in a planter that we want to bring indoors for the winterer, but for the life of me er of me I don’t know how to protect it from the cat.

Ideas?

You can customize what’s shown in Standby on iOS 17, which is cool, but is there no way to get those settings to stick?

It’s new iPhone delivery day!

Are you a set-up-as-new phone type, or a transfer-data-from-old-phone type?

Where did we go wrong as a species?

So fluffy

Struck gold at IKEA yesterday

Cool, my Mastodon instance seems to have crapped out again. I love self-hosting!

Literally sat there like this for five minutes, watching us enjoy our morning coffee.

Merlin had his cardiac ultrasound today to check on a heart murmur the vet noticed earlier this year. Thankfully, the murmur is benign and everything’s good with his ticker!

I’m closing out the second week of my four-week “Getting Started” training plan. Today, I did my first long run: 4.4km over 35 minutes is the longest I’ve ever jogged and I feel great. 🙂

I see your likes/faves/comments when I post about these runs and it’s encouraging!

Spent two hours debugging a React Native feature I was developing that was crashing the view.

Parentheses appended to a method name when they shouldn’t be. Literally two characters wasted half of my day.

How’s your day going?

Great praise for Montreal’s latest rail project, the REM, in this overview video by RMTransit. Looking forward to trying it out!

I’m ready for that Saturday-morning run, but Merlin has other ideas.
