I let them proliferate like rabbits and die off like delicate orchids
How do you manage your todo's? Here's a brain dump of how I manage my todo's, personal and business.
Usually it's not about the tool, but the constraints, and the clear rigidness, to not add more work to your plate than needed.

Todo's
One thing I learned about todos, it’s never about the [[Todo Apps]], it’s about having constraints to not add anything immediately.

Never enough personal Chrome extensions I guess. These are the two I have written this weekend.

Yesterday I got to 180 solutions manually found (3/4 done), had an idea, convinced Gemini to code it... and now I guess I'll have to write a blog post explaining it, sigh

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Two new things this week:
- Pomo: A pomodoro timer with rotation control for the M5Stack Core 2 (likely also 1 and 3)
- Crossfire: A web prototype of a board game idea I had (board game rules also in the repo). Like Destrier (asteroids with enemies). Has a simple AI

Weekend project, a semantic word guessing game (like Semantle, the semantic Wordle) using fastText embedding vectors in several languages (en, ca, es, fr, de, it, like those I use in mots).
It can (or should) play fine in a mobile, even offline once installed as a PWA.

This year I have created 39 new personal repositories (so far) almost all of them are some project I thought of and moved ahead with the help of Gemini. Without Gemini I would have done several of these, but very likely the volume would have been smaller.
