me: "ugh, why is my coffee cold and gross? I just poured it."

my untouched coffee from 45 minutes ago:

me: "oh"

A constant struggle once I lock in and do things, while also wanting to enjoy my warm beverages.

you could build your own sunny window: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bqB...

real: I very much want to make something *similar to* an LED-based sunny window on the wall, but without the watercooling components

haha! I reached what appeared to be a word search level, but had to close it and handle some other stuff.

Might try again later to see how much I can handle!

and, yes, it might be philosophically cleaner and less weighty to have and use my own special little todo.{md,txt}

maybe, that pure experience and practice of todos would be "the best"

until I decide to try that, I will keep going with Todoist

keeping my legacy pricing for now.

I support Doist for never taking investment, and building and thriving on people paying for products they enjoy and want to use.

to be determined if the new features matter to me. haven't used them yet, and suppose that I need to learn more.

todoist is and has been the simplest (for me) todo list that has just enough connectivity for what I need.

api integration with obsidian, for instance, is invaluable: I type in any note or document, add a checkbox, add 1-2 hashtags, and a task instantly exists in todoist w/bidirectional task sync.

just working at my desk, typing a message, when my automation triggers and my galloping chair robot whisks me away at 120mph to my next scheduled appointment downtown

2. (cont.) I do not understand how or why iOS sends notifications about voicemails that iOS classifies as spam. Fortunately, the associated spam calls never receive the notification treatment.

And yet, spam voicemails receive premier treatment.

All settings to prevent this: enabled.

Fun!

It was DNS
Boarding a flight and had to provide name & seat to board. I joked to Maya “they must use AWS” given the recent DNS outage.

TURNS OUT AWS AND AZURE ARE BOTH DOWN! And it’s DNS again.
