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?

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. πŸ¦‡

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. πŸ™ƒ

I Don't See the Point of Smartwatches

Yes, I love traditional watches. Guilty as charged. But even if I didn’t, I’d still think smartwatches are one of the dumbest tech trends out there.

Sitting here staring at this screen trying to decide whether I should cancel the redirect on my #fosstodon account...

Upped the distance on my runs today from 2.5km to 3.25km. Did it in 19:05, which would equate to a 29 min 5km. Happy with that.

Although temping, I'm not gonna go further than that for a few more weeks. πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨

A New Lick of Paint

So I've been playing around with a new design for this site for a couple of weeks now, and it's finally to the point where I think it's good to go live.

My Sony buds have finally bit the dust after repairing them last year.

I took the Pixel Bud A's out of the cupboard that I got free with my 9a. Garbage. No ANC and v.poor sound quality.

Looks like I'm on the hunt for a new pair of buds. πŸ™

The Singularity Trap

Rating: β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜†β˜†

Another great sci-fi book form Dennis E Taylor. Really enjoyed this one.

I really need to cut the grass, but it's too damned hot. πŸ₯΅

So I've gone down this giant rabbit hole of redesigning my site the last couple of weeks and I think I have an idea of what the next version of this site is gonna look like...

I know some people find this stuff boring, but I'm having a blast.

...and now I'm playing around with similar designs to this site circa 2020, and I have to say, I really like it. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Just been for my 3rd run of the week and managed to knock another 35 seconds off my time. πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨

I've just been tweaking the design history page and realised that I've had the current design (pretty much) for 3 years now. No wonder I'm getting itchy feet.

I am so tempted to re-design my site to something like this. Someone please step in and tell me it's a bad idea. πŸ˜‚

We've been having some groundwork done to flatten a section at the top of the garden. Living in the Welsh hills means no flat land.

44 tonnes of soil later, we have a flat space. Just need to seed it with grass now...

I hope nothing comes the other way. 🫣
