still with the flu and the sniffles
so i don’t quite know what to do with my day


hmm. watching Cal Newport ideas on #TimeBlocking seems to be a good idea.
I’ll make notes


I need to do this so that I can figure out how to do multiple cognitive tasks, in some sane manner. right now the approach is to just do bursts until i burn myself out.
It might have worked when i was a young scrapper, but it doesn’t work now.


getting sick over and over is also not fun


i have so many things to learn and I need some sort of system to do it all


worth experimenting to find something that works for me


the babbling experiment that i started yesterday seems to be helping with keeping my mind at ease.


need to figure out more approaches/heuristics

I think i need to change my sci-fi-fantasy tag in #Calibre to fantasy-sci-fi
This is the year, where the balance has finally tilted over

This song I love, love, love for the bass guitar (specially the run from 3.10 to about 3.25) and the horns

Need to get myself out of my scarcity mindset and stop shift deleting files.
Not a week goes by, when I need to fish a file out of my backups because I irrevocably deleted it and now want back.


I have large disks now. They can afford to hold large amounts of trash!

Really well written analysis by Ben Thompson1, totally disagree with the conclusion


Talent, meanwhile, has to realize that they and the studios are not divided by this new paradigm, but jointly threatened: the Internet is bad news for content producers with outsized costs, and long-term sustainability will be that much harder to achieve if the focus is on increasing them.


What @dianeduane and @neilhimself have taught me is that the demands of the folk on strike are minuscule. The big content producers have been rapacious.Talent should not have to bear these burdens, because they haven’t shared in the benefits all these decades past.

IBM Cloud to ‘uplift’ prices by up to 29 percent!


ok i didn’t care a whit about what IBM did. I just wanted an excuse to link to Adnan Sami’s peppy 90s hit

#LaalKaptaan (2019) is a visually stunning feast!


Lovely performances.


only wish the story was a bit more epic to match the running time.
(or it’d have be edited tighter to make it match the gritty, mystery, revenge story it is - not my preference though. i love a long, long spectacle)
