Mleh.
Keeva became ill in the last week. I took her to the vet expecting she’d need some medicine and TLC. Instead we got some very bad news.
Our sweet girl – verifiably the best pup ever – is going to sleep tomorrow. She’ll be surrounded by a heartbroken family who loves her very much and will help her rest as comfortably as possible.
Goodbye, sweetie. I’ll miss you forever.
I’ve modified my Python program that sends new drafts from my Freewrite Alpha to my blog. Now it can also send them to my journal app, depending on what I type at the end of the message.
I like how it’s shaping up to work with the little keyboard. I’m turning it into the hardware version of Drafts: enter some text, decide what to do with it, let automation handle the details.
John Deere Dismissing 15% of Global Salaried Workforce Today | AgWeb:
Online sources say the layoffs cut across a wide swath of John Deere global corporate and administrative divisions and in total could affect 4,500 to 6,000 employees once complete.
Another large American company is on the edge of bankruptcy. I feel bad for their senior management, too, who must be devastated at their utter failure to lead it to success.
Either that, or they’re psychopaths who are crushing their workers to make an extra buck. I choose to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they’re just bad at business.
I dusted off an older Raspberry Pi 4 to play with. Now I remember how glacially, painfully slow microSD cards are. This thing feels nearly unusable after being spoiled by its twin with an SSD.
If you use a Raspberry Pi for anything more than occasional goofing around, get an SSD. It makes it a new computer.
Happy little bee on happy little flowers on my walk to the happy little pizzeria.
Although I’ve trusted OmniFocus for years, I’m still compelled to try out the alternatives sometimes. This time I wanted to see what the new Sequoia Reminders app with calendar integration was like. It’s so pretty!
Today I discovered that it also silently mutates some of my tasks, like removing the URLs from them so I can’t click straight from the task to the thing I need to do, or removing their repeat settings so that they become one-and-done.
Yikes, no. Back to OmniFocus, yet again.
Currently reading: My Struggle: Book 2 by Karl Ove Knausgaard 📚
Now that I’m done with Gaiman’s “Norse Mythology”, it’s back to being enchanted by Knausgaard not quite enjoying anything at all.
