Still browsing throuh Hobonichi online shop to decide on a Planner for 2020

Jason from 10 Centuries just released a feature that people can export contents from the 10C websites they own to Day One app. I’ve just done it and have to say the export from 10C site is so fast and works very well.

I’m kinda torn in between Hobonichi A6 or A5 for 5-year techo…

After a long break for about a month, I just finished writing Morning Pages

Mrs & daughter has visited this 9 Arch Bridge while they were on a road trip here.

Reinstalled iOS app on iPad. Not sure why CMD+Enter doesn’t work on Apple Smart Keyboard for new posts though

Giving it a try again

Lots of clouds in the sky. Sign of some rains.

There is nice (podcast)[independence.fm/45 about Capsicum app

Just subscribed to Capsicum app for an year.

I don’t understand this… I’m unable to load any microblog apps on any of my mac or iOS devices. No problems on android

I’ve been trying out bullet journaling app called Capsicum and so far liking it. Just only a couple of days left for the trial

test

No, the m.b not loading on Safari hasn’t still been resolved

All this time I have been having issues with neither m.b site not loading on the browser nor updating the timeline on any of the native apps on both mac and iOS. Let’s see whether it is resolved now with activating my expired subscription.

I’m getting fascinated to study about Internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as Treatment for Depression

Here it is all the way from Japan… Now that I have it, looks like all the excitement has gone away. It’s pretty much everything in life. It doesn’t have to be so.

First month of simple bullet journaling seemed to have helped me to keep track of my tasks and achieve most of them, in particular in the day job. Before I make a decision whether I’d continue with BuJo into 2019, I might as well continue with my present notebook in the month of December too. With that in mind, set up Monthly Log for December in the BuJo. Migrated a just a few tasks from last month to this current months. After I receive the Hobonchi cousin planner which is expected in next few weeks, will be able to decide whether I would use the planner to combine planning + bullet journaling into one.

3rd day off work, in a four day long weekend. All what I’ve been thus far was just rest and taking it easy.

Checking Drafts to MB post action

Am just wondering whether there is any Hobonchi Planners I could use as both Planner + Bullet Journal combination…?

I’m so much looking forward to receiving Hobonichi cousin order directly from their online store in Japan.

PDF Pen app is now on Setapp offering.

This evening I started reading The Bullet Journaling Method

So, yeah, I’m finally going to get to this

Set Vivaldi as default browser on MBA.

Couldn’t resist. Ordered Hobonichi Techo 2019

Standard Notes has a feature that you can create a private link to share any note via Web

I might consider switching back to Things from OF, mainly because of it’s simplicity.

Anyone here use Standard Notes app…?

I’ve started playing with Notion app again. Quite like their web UI

Subscribed to Bear Pro and just playing with it on mac. It does export to Task Paper app

My Friday is almost coming to an end. Nothing much interested happened, except receiving a call from the elder sister. Let’s see what tomorrow is likely to be.

I’m going to giving this a go once again on the iPad

Torn in between analogue and digital.

Last long call to mother on August 31, 2018

Now reading…

All right. Deleted iOS 11.4.1 beta in profile settings and upgraded to iOS 12

Why don’t I see iOS 12 for software update on my iPad Pro 1st Gen…? It only shows iOS 11.4.1 and says your software is up to date

Looks like both Mrs and myself will be accompanied the daughter to start her 3rd year in uni in about 10 days. She will though start the school on 24th. But, before that will help her in settling in the new house PLUS it’s also a good break for me from all the stress & whatnot going around here. We will spend a couple of days in London before going to Canterbury . Mrs has booked the flight tickets and HOTAC in London and in Kent. I think, it’s another nice little break for me away from all this stress and whatnot around here.

Just installed Pico for first time.

I have been using Newton mail app for sometime and now it’s departure, I’m looking at alternatives. So far, Canary Mail looks promising

I wrote a quick blog post on newer vesrion of Ghost. It is really nice & clean UI and has always been!

I might as well open the wrapping from the recently acquired one…

Might as well get some sleep in a bit. First day at work tomorrow in almost two weeks after being on holidays followed by a quick business trip.

Inflight meal service earlier this afternoon flight back home from Rome.

Here is to my Lamy collection bought here in Rome.

St Mark’s basilica

Sun set captured from Lido island in Venice

Family holidays enroute To Venezia. Inflight drinks offering completed. Crisp white table cloth laid up by FAs. No waiting for starters to be served

But, now it’s time to get some sleep.

Was watching a couple of bullet journaling youtube episodes to get some ideas for setting up a simple bullet journal.

Time to get some sleep.

My paper-planner seems to work better than OF. All the tasks that I jotted down for today got done. Only thing is it’s a thick one with page-a-day format. But, never mind, after bringing to work every morning, it can stay on the desk.

I might consider resubscribing to O365

Time for quick nap on Friday afternoon

test post

Not sure any one here use Notion app and if so, whether there are any privacy/security concerns of the stuff you put in there.

What a shame on me. . I brought my shiny MacBook & iPad both to work earlier today and not even opened the lid of the MacBook for entire work day! Perhaps I must find a better way to make use of the shiny notebook.

I know I’ve been contemplating purchase decision about Devonthink. I don’t know, perhaps ultimate answer to storage of documents, snippets and whatnot may be DT.

Syncing between any device most times, sucks. Doesn’t matter which device, OS and service. No reliability what so ever. And then of course there are other dependencies like connectivity issues. This is where old fashion native apps shines!

My weekend is almost over. Another work week starts tomorrow.

Let’s see the new Archives page

Today is her last day of my ODM crew, after being working with me for last six months. i have to say, she has been such a fabulous and dependable colleague and a friend

There seems to be delay in sync on OF between iPad and iPhone

True, there is some improvement than before.

Posts to appear here should be faster than before, I read in recent post from @manton

It was nice to hear at least someone this afternoon raved about quality of food we served on the aeroplane. I wasn’t surprised though it was out of Vienna

Interesting, when I post from drafts it appears much faster than I post direct on m.b own app

Let’s see how fast this appears on the timeline

Haven’t been updating the journal on journey app for quite sometime. And I just did that

Dinner completed. Another busy working day tomorrow. I might as well get some sleep early

Some times, being able to use idevice that doesn’t have work email is liberating. It’s a moment like that

Note shelf 2 now has handwriting recognition and it seems to be working well

I don’t normally bring my phone to bed. Not sure why for some reason I did it tonight. I’d leave it on bed side though.

Test from indigenous

Most of us here must be Mac users. So, I’ve been. But I’d ask the question anyway, are there any people here using Microsoft Surface Tablets ?

Fiddling with my old iPhone 6 and purchased apps, found that I’ve had OF 2 installed some time back. Not too sure why I had switched onto ToDoist then, followed by most recently to Things app on iOS. Being OF 2 user, I get a significant discount on OF 3 for iOS, which I think I might as well grab and give it a try again.

Thinking of going back to Evernote as my digital filing system

Eisenhower Matrix.

Test

Chocolate Biscuit Pudding

This is a note

Trying out quill

After logging onto indigenous app, this is what I get now @manton @EddieHinkle

With logging on to indigenous this is what I get now

Hello

Task Manager apps again… now torn in between Things 3 and Task Paper for Mac. I have Things 3 on my iPad though

iA Writer on mac looks much prettier than Byword. I hope same goes with functionality too.

When log in from Indigenous app it takes me here and that’s it @manton

using indigenious

Got Indigenous app. Not too sure how to sort this out though. Any help is much valued @EddieHinkle

Does anyone here use Task Paper on Mac?

Taking it easy on this Thursday evening.

It’s time to get some sleep in this part of the world.

There seems still to be a delay in appearing m.b posts in the blog site

Watching some of the indieweb summit sessions on YouTube. One thing I’m noticing is they all hold onto notebook computers and not a single participant with tablets…

Watching indie web summit day 1 sessions on YouTube

Looks like I might go back to ToDoist from Things app, mainly due to cross platform capability of ToDoist app and web access

Carried along the MacBook to work this morning. Didn’t even open the lid and ended up using the iPad instead.

My iPhone automatically connects to WiFi network at home without going to LTE, whilst Android phone always connects to LTE even if it’s within the home WiFi network

Edo Agenda app has somewhat similar features to Agenda app. It also has a web app though.

Why don’t I see my previous post on the timeline? It has come up at the blog site though.

Installed Agenda app on all apple devices and purchased the primium features. Hoping to take a good use of it to organize my notes, mostly related to day job.

Spark mail again

Reinstalled Spark mail app on iPad. Will use for now instead of Newton

I must start using MacBook more.

Arrived back in old home town, will have two day weekend to settle in before start work on Sunday.

It has been a couple of weeks since i last checked m.b out. in the moment visiting Sri Lanka, though the holiday here is almost over.

Getting me haircut.

iOS 12. #wwdc2018

Customer at everything Apple does #WWDC2018

20 million apple developers #WWDC2108

steve is on the stage #WWDC2018

Getting ready to watch WWDC 2018 on ipad

Time to try and get some sleep. weekend is almost over.

My weekend is almost over. its going to be somewhat busy working week starting tomorrow.

Taking the shuttle from HQ to the Kitchen just for half an hour work there and will have to come back to HQ for a meeting in about 45 minutes time

Time to get some sleep I think. It’s going to be another busy day at work

Thinking about replacing my 1stGen ipadpvo 12.9 . Still contemplating though, whether should I get another 12.9” or go for a 10.5”

Wify is making a nice chicken curry tonight and I get the smell of it’s cooking in the pot

Meetings race starts tomorrow right from the go at 0700 in the morning. I’d better get some sleep now. Good Night one & all!

wanted to checkout Devonthink to go in iOS. Unfortunately, it’s not availble UAE app store!

The handwriting recognition on Notability App is awesome,

Much quieter day at work. Once in a while it’s nice to have days like that to get the important work done

It’s My scriptStylus, it’s called

Using Apple Pencil and Nebo handwriting keyboard on drafts app to send this Post.

Mrs awake. Fixed the breakfast for me. In the meantime, I cleaned up the filter. Laundryman collected the laundry. Still it’s 0825 in the morning. Not bad at all. BTW, I asked Mrs; no, she hadn’t told me to wake her up early. So, that’s good I did not.

dinner done. table cleared. Next up, to clear trash and chilling out under the neem tree.

I got early access to 10Cv5 which @matigo has made and I’ve been using it in various platforms and devices since last night. I have to say, so far I’ve been loving it’s funcationality, beauty, simplicity & ease of use.

Updated the Planner with a couple of future important items.

Our summer is here. Sand storm out there

Called daughter when mom was away in the church. It’s her exams time, so she has been busy studying.

Installed icro on iPhone.

I beg to differ my earlier statement, they do indeed shows up on mb hosted sites

It appears that Social posts made on 10C beta for mb do not go to mb hosted sites

Is having coffee under the neem tree.

I think I can go to bed now, eventhough I had Three hours nap eartlier this afternoon. I think, it’s all that tiredness from the day job through out this past week.

Does MarsEdit work with Ghost Blogging?

Much relaxed weekend so far. Almost 3 hours nap earlier this afternoon, even missing the church going. Now, dinner consumed and taking it easy in the couch.

I know, I haven’t been doing it much. But working on this beautful, little MacBook brings me such pleasure & joy.

Watched a couple of YouTube videos about how to install Ghost on Digital Ocean. Seems straight forward except SSH thing. Much cheaper than hosted Ghost Pro. Thinking whether to give it a try and what happens…

Icro on iPad Pro

I seem to prefer web app to native app on mac.

Installed m.b.mac app 1.3.1(40) and hoping the Error 500 message that I got over this past weekend will disappear.

Replies here shows up faster than posts from the scratch…

Well, time for some dinner I think.

Since I got this posh 2018 Paper Planner from the daughter since early this year, it has mostly been just lying around the house without being used. I’ve tried many times to use digital planners of various kinds on my iPad Pro without success. Finally, I decided to start using the paper planner. I hope to be able to consistently maintain my new found habit.

I think I’d better have a haircut this afternoon.

Leaving iPad home and bringing MacBook to work this morning.

Dropped by in Plurk after some time to say hello to some friends.

Though not being able to spend time on the shop floor, much got done on the computer to sort out a few outstanding matters in the operations, that woukd bring in medium term results. Also paved the road map for a major process improvement short term project.

Spent most part of the day in the kitchen. Back to HQ and going home.

Enough toying with web stuff and time to get some sleep

Research Shows a Simple Way to Increase Your Engagement at Work

A recent research study investigated two types of daily planning and how they influence employee engagement in dynamic work environments. The first type is commonly known as time-management planning, which involves making to-do lists, prioritizing and scheduling tasks, and ultimately managing one’s time. The second type of planning is referred to as “contingent planning,” in which people consider the possible disruptions or interruptions they may face in their work day and devise a plan to address them if they occur. It’s important to understand these two critical types of planning and when to utilize them in your day-to-day work life. Before you start your work day, set aside a few minutes to plan your upcoming day. Consider what type of day you anticipate and whether you expect to be interrupted and how frequently. What can you do to create boundaries around your time and have fewer interruptions? If you anticipate few to no interruptions, then engage in time management planning by setting an ambitious to-do list in which you prioritize your tasks and allocate your time and energy to them based on their priority. If you expect to be interrupted frequently, then engage in contingent planning where you outline a realistic number of tasks you can complete that day while also taking time to consider how you might be interrupted, and what you will do if such interruptions occur. These simple tweaks to your work day can help you take control of your own engagement levels at work.

Just got a reply from the boss to say that he agrees with some of my proposals for proposed work stream alignment.

Now onto microblog iOS app

It took longer than I thought. I wish the water flowing out from the filter is little faster. It isn’t. Nevermind, I just leave it for now. Don’t want to spend the whole morning for that. There’s a lunch out invite in about three hours. I’d better checkout about WordPress indieweb thing in the meantime, before I completely forget Chris Aldrich video I watched last night.

Time to clean the filter

Time to get some breakfast

When a post is being published via Nice to m.b. one would expect the typed post in the post window to disappear, when you hit the post button

Having coffee under the neem tree. Still a lovely morning.

Another good night sleep.

Time for dinner!

Trying to learn a bit about Indieweb

Watching Chris Aldrich’s Tutorial on Introduction to indieweb on WordPress

Back home from church.

Another excellent article in HBR about how important it is to have a good Meeting Agenda

How to Design an Agenda for an Effective Meeting

I’ve been thinking about to improve my meeting facilitation style in the recent past and here I found a great article on HBR, I would put into practice

How to Run a Meeting Without Talking Too Much

Apple smart keyboard cover has started giving problems again and does not connect with the iPad. Perhaps, time to switch back to Logitech exernal keyboard and put just the Apple cover on iPad for protection.

Book Shelf moved to the new location in the house. Sorted & arranged the books neatly. I think, I’d do the fish tank filter either tomorrow or even next week.

This photo goes back to 15 years ago in Brisbane. Fun times!

Let’s get the bookshelf sorted.

Request sent for instagram download

Must shower, breakfast, fish tank filter and arranging the bookshelf are what’s lined up next for this morning.

Had a long night sleep with out being awaken at 0400 in the morning on a weekend first time in a long time.

Time to hit the bed.

My daughter wants to buy paper planner that meets the following criteria. Any recommendations?

Criteria for my 2019 Work journal/planner:

• Either A5 or A4
• Black colour cover
• Hardcover
• Academic year - Sept 2018 to June 2018
• Daily / weekly pages in horizontal lay out (Not verticle weekly layout) Dated 2019

Whilst having a choice of apps and ways of posting onto microblog nice and gives flexibility; sometimes I wonder by doing that all my m.b posts, local drafts etc are scattered everywhere in various places and devices. What do other people here think?

New things are cooking… * Make it Safe * Create Experience * Believe it’s possible * Get things done

Dinner consumed. There isn’t any sign that we are going to connect with the daughter. Perhaps, I’ll get to early sleep.

Yep; blog posts hosted here appear fast on the site. Remarkable improvement!

Tonight, am keeping my hands off from iPad and getting along with shiny MacBook.

Time to get some sleep in this part of the world. Have a early start tomorrow.

Just installed sunlit app on iPhone as well. Post App net time I had deleted it from the iPhone

This was my work desk set-up about a week ago. The HP Windows Notebook is the computer provided by the Day job and on to left is my iPad Pro with Logitech keyboard case attached. Since then I’ve switched back to Apple smart keyboard cover purely due to light weight and ease of carry around

I must make a point to make good use of this keyboard. I just love the good key travel in this, which is much better than Apple smart keyboard on my iPad Pro.

Anyone here using Devonthink?

Listening to an old podcast about Devonthink & Bear apps

Daughter has just woken up after her nap by the time we woke up after night sleep

Weekly 1 on 1 with boss is coming up in 8 minutes. I hope it won’t be cancelled last minute as it has been happening in the last two weeks

Got ready to go to work much earlier than usual

Daughter’s vacation little over two weeks here is coming to end and she’s busy packing for her flight back tomorrow night.

Status post(s) on Known showed up here in less than a minute, while the post I directly posted here too about 1.5 to 2 minutes

Is it really?

Back home after dinner party.

From next month onwards I am going to make best use of my paper planner. It was christmas gift from the daughter, which I hardly used over 1st quarter of this year.

Good Morning. Saturday morning starts with having open the work computer to approve IT request, because of lack of commitment from the people who work in IT

Did not have a good night sleep last night. Am hoping I’d be able to catch up for that & get some good sleep tonight :)

Does indieweb thing work with wordpress.com hosted sites, any one know ?

Reached home. Long day, in my standards

A large group of customers want meals without containing yeast. Straight forward I think, we don’t give them bread with their meals.

Well, time to hit the bed.

Under the neem tree. I thought m.b iOS app allows to capture a photo on the go and post directly without having to select from camera roll

Though it was kinda busy and tight schedule day being the first working day of the week, I’m pleased that I managed to sort out a few outstanding tasks that needed my attention.

Not sure whether I did the right thing by upgrading this iPhone 6 to iOS 11

Another weekend is almost over. Time to get some sleep

Done,done & done. Drafts 5 and microblog apps installed on iPhone

I wonder with Drafts subscription on iPad, I’m allowed to use iPhone app also.

Why doesn’t Things app show in iOS share sheet? Todoist does!

Waiting for Stephie to wake up. Last night we discussed & agreed to go to the mall to get some errands done for her - get her watch repaired, get beats headphones replaced & stuff. I may also look at whether I could get a lighting cable for my iPad.

Re-installed Fantastical on iPad to get the work done with Drafts actions.

Am a bit confused about workspaces on Drafts 5 app. Not too sure what it does? Does it work like ‘folders’ that if I want to save drafts for instance - work and personal ?

Just got back from the church after being to mass with the daughter. Also caught up with the prayer group folks after the mass.

I might as well join family to go to church later this afternoon.

Subscribed to Drafts 5 Pro for iPad and playing with it now

Where one can check podcasts made in Wavelength app?

Where do people use Drafts app more? iPad or iPhone?

Time to grab some sleep.

Mrs & daughter have gone for a shopping spree.

Here I’m trying out Drafts 5. Looks very nice on iPad Pro too

So, there was monthly huddle held at work earlier this afternoon, which I was unable to attend as I was in the kitchen the whole day. It would be interested to find out whether anything interesting came up.

After setting up mail rules and filters in work Outlook mail, my inbox is much cleaner and far less noisy.

Am still not too sure whether I do this microblogging thing right; I just mostly post here my random thoughts as they come to mind or I experienced. That’s all.

Installed Things App on iPad and I have to say, I’ve been using it more than I ever did with Todoist. Liking the app thus far.

Back home after an okay day at work.

Another weekend - extended one comes to end. Must get some sleep now.

Just found out Drafts app even has Actions for Microblog

A lazy morning on a company holiday here

Still got 5 hours of overnight sleep. Not bad.

After that 8 hours nap earlier, I might find it hard to get some sleep tonight

If it wouldn’t have been a bit bulky , I love this Logitech Keyboard case with iPad Pro. Much better than Apple Keyboard cover in key travel (the obvious) and full protection to iPad with it’s hard shell

Checking what ketboard shortcuts works with Logitech hardcover keyboard on iPad.

Thursday Ops Team Meeting is coming up. Timings changed from today to 1130.

Finally it’s Thursday, that means the weekend of almost here and it’s going to be extended one.

I’d better get some sleep. Got to be up in about 3 hours.

Our young lady has arrived home

Interestingly, some Sri Lanka snacks were served in the office by a female Indian colleague for her kids birthday, whilst a female Japanese colleague is treating us with Sri Lankan lunch in short while. Such a cosmopolitan work place

Here at a meeting to inform about IT fault calls resolution

It’s time too head for work.

Though it is pricy, I’ve been utmost impressed with Ghost’s consistent customer service and speedy responses to support emails.

Somethings are not cool!

1230 in the afternoon. Time to grab some lunch.

Updating mail rules on outlook to clear mailbox clutter

Nice Social web client still in its beta looks nice.

This morning, I brought my MacBook to work. Not even had time to open it’s lid though. I have got used so much to my iPad Pro, my hand goes to it all the time

Another round of herbal meds.

Got a call from mom.

I’ve noticed, the weekends, I keep away from checking emails from the day job on regular basis, I feel more calm & much relaxed. I’ve been trying to grow that habit for last couple of weeks and it seems to work well. Not hanging onto the smartphone all the time, when I’m at home helps a lot in not checking emails.

Apparently, wife hasn’t even thought about fixing anything for lunch this afternoon, because she had thought that I’d be going for outreach function in the church and will grab lunch from there. Oh, well… actually I was hoping to go for the function, but in the last moment I changed my mind and stayed back home. I hope, Liane wouldn’t be pissed-off with me for not turning up.

Going under the neem tree with another coffee. Mrs is still asleep, so will have to wait for breakfast. In the meantime, laundryman is expected to collect laundry soon.

The one thing I really love about Ghost platform is distraction free writing on clean and white interface!

Actually blog posts can backdated even on MarsEdit. I quite like that flexiblility in any blogging platform

Here is the thing, looks like I’ve unlocked Daily Blogger pin here.

Yalla, me going to fix a glass of vodka. After all, it’s the start of the weekend:)

Thinking about blogging and blog sites, because I don’t have anything else to think about right now.

Yay to the weekend! It has been a busy but productive week in the

where can I listen to latest episode of micro monday ?

I told ya. My posts are not coming over here from 10C anymore.

I know it’s costly. But Ghost thing just works!

Get me fresh air.

Just got home. It has been a productive day at work, both at HQ as well as in the kitchen, where we started a nice little project. Irina has been great helping me in it.

Time for coffee ☕

Awake by 0430 for the 2nd time this week for no reason.

Quiet time is over. Two meetings are coming up for

Funds transferred to mom.

Ready to leave for Easter mass

Signed out and signed in to see whether the performance improves

Cross posting between 10C and micro.blog looks like broken for

My weekend is almost over. It has been a good one !

I posted this post elsewhere

When I’m at home I come out and spend quite a bit of time under the lovely neem tree in the front yard. It’s my go to place for destressing and relaxation when I’m home. My mind wonders with so many thoughts under the neem tree, though some times I feel it should not be so; instead I should try to live in present and enjoy the moments. Anyway, I got this crazy idea earlier this morning while I was having my coffee under the neem tree, that I should blog about some of those thoughts, at least briefly in the moment. It would not only help me to jot down my thoughts to preserve them for self satisfaction and also inner reward for being able to blog. So, here is the 1st post of I hope, among many that’s going to appear in the space. I wish there is a way I could attach images on iA Writer app on my smartphone to complete this post with a photo of the neem tree!

Am still having issues with microblog is being either far too slow or do not load at all saying Safari could not find the server ! Very frustrating

Perhaps, I should start a blog about all thoughts wondering in my mind when I’m under the neem tree. Wiered, isn’t it?

Fish tank filter cleaned. Struggle a bit though putting the thing back together. Finally all done. That means, my neem tree time

It’s just me or any one else find micro.blog timeline is loading unusually slow on both the browser and iOS & Mac clients ? Hosted site seems all right

Am glad I made to Good Friday mass earlier this evening.

The 3pm mass is still going on. Lots & lots of people are waiting outside to get in for 5pm mass. Thankfully we found car parking right in front of the church and I’m still waiting inside the car.

Micro blog both web UI and mac app still not working properly. Any one else facing similar issue?

Testing Markdown on MarsEdit , after changing the Preview Template in Preferences Menu

So, I have been using MarsEdit, I think it's the *trail version* on & off for last week or so on my old MBA. If I am going to continue this, then it makes sense to have the paid version installed on MacBook and not on this old MBA. But I really wish MarsEdit works or will work at least in the future with **10C**

Awake by 0700. 8-9 hours sleep not bad. Feel much better than last night. Hope it stays like that rest of the day

Its comfirmed only posts originates from micro.blog goes to micro.blog hosted blog sites

Until @matigo comes up with his program on 10C, I’m kinda cheating by copy + paste for crossposting between 10C and micro.blog

Barbs - the new female supervisor who has recently joined the cafeteria is cute.

Some times, I wonder whether I have too many high expectations in almost everything

Being able to access Todist on the web is a huge PLUS for me when my work computer is Windows. With Things I am unable to do that.

Does any one here use 2 To Do apps - one for work and the other for personal?

After some extensive use of both Todist and Things apps for day job To Do(s), I’m more inclined to continue using Todoist at least up until the Premium subscription lasts till June. I might, though consider Things for personal To Do(s). Let’s see…

Physiotherapy 3/8

Reviewed another 31 responses for FA reports in 22 minutes. Not bad!

Let’s get some fresh air

Another 2 hours and 20 minutes to go before go off..

Breakfast consumed.

I’d hope, the timeline would be a bit more active when I am asleep

Time to get ready for bed.

When there are two blogs under one account, not sure on iOS app how to change which blog site the post should appear.

Note to self: Reviewed responses to 56 FA Reports, which took 30 minutes - 1.8 minutes per report.

Shower completed. Exercises done.

Haven’t reviewed FA reports for last few days. I’d better scan through them when I get back to my desk.

Kind of hungry. Not even close to lunch time yet. Feel like I can do with a light snack right now.

Morning coffee

After sometime, I logged onto Todoist web app and sorted out my set-up. The web app is sleek and faster. Then I’ve been using Things trial on mac OS and have been liking it. I still have another 3 months premium subscription on Todist. Now, kind of torn in between whether to continue with Todist or purchase Things. Decisions, decisions, decisions!

Time to get some sleep I think. Good Night one & all !

This morning in the day job I presented the findings of my most recent project on Airbus 380 SPML loading

Therapy done, much needed haircut taken. Now home, waiting for Chrys & Liane.

Home now. Got to go for physiothrepy in about half hours time, followed up by a haircut, perhaps.

Test from microblog

One of my favorite selfies with the daughter among many…

All right, I just entered the micro.blog app token as password in Mars Edit and it worked.

Just a test. This is a modified post sending from MarsEdit

I was all prepared for weekly 1 to 1 with the boss. But, in the end he was apologitic that he was unable to make it as he was double booked in for another meeting. Such is work life, I guess…

Time to get some sleep in this part of the world. Good night!

Hooray! Mapped the custom domain to my micro.blog. Seems to be working fine thus far.

Just downloded my Twitter archive. But I can’t find a .zip file in the download folder, to be able to import here!

Okay, gotcha. The secret is to post on Ghost site by putting the Date (YYYY-MM-DD) as the title of the post and then it comes up on micro.blog as a status post rather than as a blog post with link to the site. I think, that’s how it is supposed to work.

I just did a one line post on Ghost site, without a title to see how will that appear here, if at all it works!

Am kind of lost in all this indieweb thing right now, trying to understand ropes!

Am trying to figure out the difference/benefits between setting up a self hosted wordpress blog VS hosted micro.blog in joining indieweb bandwagon…?

9 days left in Things app trial on the Mac. I’d like their UI to Todoist app. Mac Calendar integration is also good.

It’s past 12 mid night. Guests just left. Good bonding and much laughter.

Started physiotherapy again. 1st of 8 sessions done this evening.

Glad weekend is almost here. But door to door meetings the entire day.

Sleep time in this part of the world is almost here. So, I say good night to all of you, good people !

Tomorrow night, people from the church PG will be meeting at our home. Though it’s being the start of the weekend, it would be a non-alchi event. Am making up tonight for that

I thought I had misplaced Apple Pencil in the kitchen this morning lugging around meetings between HQ and the kitchen in a case. Finally found hidden in the bottom of the bag…

Archived all emails on FastMail. Win!

Just noticed, if you post with some one’s handle (at)username, you cannot edit the post, after posting. @manton

With signing up to Blot, I now have 4 blogs - 10C, Micro.blog, Ghost and Blot. Can I justify….? Not too sure; except only say I wouldn’t want to put all eggs in one basket. Is it a valid justification…? I don’t know. Will I be able to keep up to date all these Blogs…? Too early to say. But one thing for sure though, I’d slowly keep away or even all together de-activate my FB account.

I believe Microblog needs some cultural & geographical diversity. We need to work on be a Globalista community @manton

Dinner consumed. Was thinking of writing a blog post about Flight Attendants tour in the Kitchen. Not too sure thought it’s going to happen tonight. Perhaps I’d write it over the weekend.

It has been a busy day at work. After very long time I facilitated the flight attedants tour in the Flight Kitchen for 3.5 hours. The boys and girls were a matured in their jobs and well experienced & enthusastic.

2200 hour, nuff playing with Blot. Almost time to get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day in the kitchen. Good busy, I hope.

The thing with having two accounts is that I must always remember to switch sites on the microblog web interface, before composing the post. Hey, Am sorry if I had already said about it here before :)

Microblogging from the shuttle bus from HQ to the kitchen. How cool is that..

1st Working day for week starts in the kitchen with the meeting to go through Fight Attendants Voyage Reports, as the colleague who normally does the task is off sick

Here is dinner consumed. Will clear trash in short while, wash and off to bed. Work week starts tomorrow morning at 0700.

Unscheduled driving job in a few minutes time!

I posted a question here on the Timeline short while back asking about how the footnotes work on micro.blog and my question appeared on my micro.blog site. I’m okay with that; but now I’m a bit confused (again!) - it looks like micro.blog, whilst provides a blogging platform, it is also a social network. I think if I do a new post with a (at) username that would also appear in the micro.blog website. I don’t see any problems with either cases; but just saying!

Does any one know how footnotes work here?

One set of Neck strengthening excersises done this morning. #Day 5

Note to self: Must remember first to switch account before composing the post to go to that site.

It’s that time of the day timeline slowly goes quiet.

While waiting for breakfast to be ready, I think I will clean up water filter of the fish tank

I think it’s time to get some sleep! Good Night all !

Sleep time is fast approaching for me in this part of the world!

I think, it’s time to eat some dinner and that’s going to be srilankan rotti

I think, am quite contend with two social networks - 10C and micro.blog. Occasionally, though ‘Plurk’ just to keep up with a few friends.

Mrs has just got back from the church. That means, soon we will have dinner

Let’s get the olives !

I think I will have a glass of vodka this evening after a shower. But can’t bothered to drive over to grocery store to acquire Tonic to go with it.

Installed Things trial version on mac

After eating lunch at employee cafeteria over the past week, aren’t I looking forward to have some home food…?

Lunch today at home is Lamprais

Annixety is kicking in for no reason

I finished my second cup of coffee already. Mrs. is still asleep.

Changed theme back to Typewriter, bacuse I like that one.

Awake by 6am. Grabbed a strong coffee and cleared the tree leves in the front yard.

Yay to the weekend!

Strengthening excerises done. Not 3 sets though. Was lazy! #Day4

10pm. That means time to get some sleep in this part of the world.

Well… about 3-4 minutes delay just now.

Is it me or there is about a minute or two delay in posts appearing on timeline

Strengthening excerises completd for #Day3. Almost time for dinner.

After some time, facilitated the FAs’ Q&A session earlier this afternoon.

Time to clear trash.

Dinner done with Mrs. Perhaps, Skype daughter in about 30 minutes time, before going to sleep.

Looks like it’s going to be early dinner this evening. That’s not a bad thing.

Since 1st quarter of last year, I have had ODM crew assigned to support me in the day job. Thus far, I have had 3 such ladies. I have to say, I have been very fortunate that all of them have been very knowledgable, skilled and more importantly with right can do attitude and absolutely dependable They have been a great support to me, not only day-to-day stuff, but also in managing short term projects.

Nota single email got into my Inbox today was of any interest.

Strengthening exercises done. 10 times x 10 seconds x 3 sets, that’s what the doc ordered. All done #day2

I must try and use native apps for micro.blog more often and not the web interface. Not sure why, I always forget!

Funny, for some reason after I wrote a post on iOS web interface , instead of hitting Post button, I hit New Post button, making the post already disappeared.

Interesting conversation in the 1st Episode of Micro Monday

Just downloaded 1st Episode of Micro Monday podcast!

Good Team meeting to start the work day with attendance in full.

Neck strenghening excerises completed

Set up Bullet Journal in NoteShelf 2 this time around. Previousley I used Goodnotes.

Last of the 8 sessions of physiotherapy. Remarkable improvement in the neck

Work day is almost over. Not bad for the 1st day of the week.

How we celebrated International Women Day

Listening to HBR webinar on “Artificial Intelligence for the Real World” by Thomas H. Davenport.

Mom received bouquet of flowers from the daughter for Mothers’ Day

Just wondering whether I should pursue a course of studies in Psychology in distance learning

Just switched the theme on the micro.blog site

Logged onto MacBook after about a week’s time. I must find a way to make use of this beauty on regular basis. Perhaps, only way around that is to keep my hands off from iPad.

I must grab a cup of tea and disappear under the neem tree for a while.

@manton Any reason, time stamps of micoblog posts do not appear on micro.blog hosted sites? Only the date stamp appears.

Time 2 get some sleep

Tried to take a nap earlier this afternoon. But, nap did not materialised in the end.

Chilling out in my favourite little corner at home.

A cup of tea would be nice

I seemed to have for URL posting wrong in my earlier

Under the neem tree in a nice and cool morning

One would expect when the time line is quiet and not too busy here, posts appear much faster than usual.

Was wondering how to create a new post on mac app. Oh, Keyboard shut-cut to get new post window to appear

Contemplating whether I should configure a custom domain for micro.blog. Do I have any interesting ones that I haven’t been using hmm…

I’ve been using journey app across platforms as my everyday go to journaling app since the begining of this year. Prior to that, I used Day One app and have been since 2013, though it was only mac & iOS up until recently when they came up with Android app too. For some reason, I find journey UI is much inititive and prettier than Day One across platforms; in particular I quite like web UI of journey. As a result, I tend to keep up with my journaling habit more frequently than before. One advatage though on Day One, I could create mutiple jounals. Not too sure Journey app provides that feature. But then again, I noticed, even though I had created seperate journals for work & personal, more often than not I’ve mostly been journaling in one. I think, I will continue to use journey app for now and see, how will it inspire me to keep up with journaling.

Finally, Ghost–>micro.blog posting got working. It’s time for me to get some sleep now, I think.

Nuff! fiddling with Ghost & micro.blog! Am giving up for now.

Dining out in the popular sea food restaurant

As always, my most productive time in the day job has been whenever I spend time in the flight Kitchen Shop Floor. It has always given me opportunity to learn & grow in the business and also talk to front-line people who actually perform tasks and to listen to their stories, ideas and suggestions for improvements.

Fortnightly Team Meeting for postponed to next Wednesday.

2017-11-01

New Camera acquired.

2018-01-17

That’s inside the electrical panel of a flight catering Dishwash machine

Its no good people send minutes of a fortnighly meeting that took placeTwo weeks ago, in little less than 12 hours to the next meeting !

What’s wrong with me; I have shiny brand new MacBook. But, my hands still go to MBA mid-2011 and 1st Gen iPad Pro!

Home now. Going under the neem tree for some fresh air.

strated early and finished also a bit early in the day job

Nothing much interesting happened, except being able to peek in a new concept. That’s all i can say!

Taking a day off; neverthelss did bit of day job stuff from home

A glass of Chillian Sauvignon Blanc this evening…

chatting online to Hover Support

A nap is in order on this Saturday afternoon.

Almost 12 mid night and still awake, because there is still a guest.1

Memories from the past - Visit to the Mothership

Micro.blog UI is much better on a MacBook!

Yalla, its time for me to get some sleep. Good Night!

Annie Mcknee in HBR

Okay, the Wednesday is almost done. Time to get some sleep. Looking foward to Thursday - which means weekend!

It has been a good day at work in the Kitchen shop floor. Minimum time spent behind the computer.

Early start to work tomorrow at 0630 and then meeting at 0930, followed by a colleague’s farewell lunch.

Thnigs in the office has been moving awefully slow in the past few days.

Switched back to Typewriter Theme

Yay! to the weekend!

The 1st meeting with the new divisional head went for about two & half hours ealier this afternoon.

Just changed the design of micro blog

I seem to like Scan Pro more than the Scan Bot on iPad. Scanning process on Scan Pro is simpler and out come of the scanned documents are much are more clearer.

When i reviewed my meeting schedule for today, it’s clear attending some of those meetings completely waste of time

I must remember the 3 projects daughter is being invloved in the uni, so that I won’t repeatdly asking her. - RSE - Research Experiment Scheme - Let’s Talk Science - Breaking the barriers

When I look back at my posts on the micro blog sites, it’s bit like short Journal entries . Not too sure whether its silly to think like that though.

Signed up for Exist on one month’s trial.

My Planner for 2018. I haven’t started to write in yet though. Perhaps, this weekend..

I meant to say much calmer & peacful day, both at work and home

Too quiet at home.

I’m glad it’s weekend!

Door-to-door mertings in the day job today. Out of the 4 meetings, two were productive & walked out with some decisions made and action items clearly agreed, which was good.

First day of the working week is done and home now. Just want to take it easy and not continue working from home.

Another weekend is almost over and it’s time to get some sleep in this part of the world!

We’ve decided to move from our current house. A couple of weeks back, we had looked at a couple of houses in the close proximity of our work place. Out of four houses, we saw we both liked the one we saw last. A two story house with four need rooms and nice little garden. We thought the rents are too high. Not necessarily, we can’t afford to, but savings, after moving out from company provided accomodation and paying for all other things like water, electricity etc wouldn’t make much sense. Then, we looked at a couple of apartments earlier this evening and even they range from 115K to 130K. Now we are discussing the options we have and possible short listing from properties we have seen so far.

1st of another weekend is almost over. Nothing much intersted happend, particulary with this bad cold I’m down with.

Its being my weeend, I must try and keep my handsoff from work emails.

Fish tank filter cleaned, which was a few weeks overdue.

reconsidering

I know it took more time than expcted; but christmas tree 2017 is finally down.

Daughter who has been here for vacation little less than a month, returning back to the Uni in a couple of hours.

I should have said, down with bloody cold!

Bloody cold!

Checking out what this Plurk is all about

Back home from work. It’s going to be weekend and Yay! for that. That’s said, I wish I could’ve accmplished more this week.

In the office

The first working day of the year was rather uneventful; yet nice and calm. Nothing much accomplished other than emails and scheduling of recurring monthly Operations meeting with the service partner.

My daughter’s Christmas present to me.I still haven’t been able to start writing in this though

Deleted the previous post with repeated image.

Quite a bit of enhancements to micro.blog. Shame, I haven’t been able to use this thing much.

Just installed macOS app on new MacBook

1st Day at work for 2018!

Quiet 31st night. Will go to sleep in short while. Good night every one!

Out going for dinner at Nishantha’s in Sri Lanka

Not sure why dont we have an Edit feature here for people like me who sometimes wanting to do slight edit in a post…

Here in Sri Lanka for short break and to attend niece’s wedding function on December 14th. Also celebrated mother’s 85th Birthday, along with sisters while I’m here. I feel good for being able to be with mom on her birthday for the 1st time after some 26 years ago.

Much needed quietness and rest right here…

Being the 1st working day after 5 days of extended weekend, I have to say it was much productive day.

I must follow more people here.

Last day of 5 days extended weekend.

Signing in from new MacBook.

New MacBook set up completed ealier this morning.

Yay! to my weekend here !

Home alone…

Has been chatting with Microsoft online support for last half hour to get help with how to set up custom domain on my O365 Home Premium. No one could still help. Note for self: Case No 1403954689

Pleasently surprised by COO’s very inspiring speech to the team earlier this afternoon.

Trying hard to focus and get along with some work for the day job from home

Time to get some sleep, I think. It has been a good 1st day of the weekend with lots of resting. I have to say, keeping away from checking work email for the entire day for the 1st time, helped

The tail of the aircraft did not appear

I think, tomorrow I will spend some time here to figure out customs domain for my site.

This was the aeroplane I flew when I first arrived here.

Okay installed iOS app on iPad Pro

I’m still trying to get around here and understand how this thing works.

At one point, I must try webmasters for domain registar

My micro.blog expired it says; not sure what do I have to do…?
