Reviewing some of my subscriptions that are up for renewal soon. Decided to have a look at the built in calendar app on macOS. Didnโt realise it had support for conference calls built in now, might be able to drop Fantastical now.
At the end of a long week an hour on the sofa reading The Return of the King was exactly what I needed. ๐

I got a yellow HomePod mini for Christmas, it arrived yesterday, and Iโm finding it really hard to resist making shortcuts to use with it when I should be working.

Part of my approach to the new year involved rediscovering one of my habits. I’ve been trying to write a blog post more often. I initially intended to use my Micro.blog and to post all my content there, but given the chance to reflect I realised I wanted my longer posts to live here. I’m not committing to a set number of posts per week, but I am committing to posting here more often.

I really dislike the way businesses refer to people as resources. Four meetings today and everyone has said we need more resources to do something. They are people. You need more people to do it.

Discovered that iA Writer has the ability to publish to Micro.blog. Time to give it another go I think, itโs always been a nice writing experience and it also works with Hook according to the Hook documentation.

Thanks to Hook I’m finding myself looking at notes apps that play nicely with it. Obsidian is halfway there but Craft seems to be the most compatible.
My right AirPod seems to be dying. It struggles to connect and then when it does loses it’s connection, anyone else experienced this?
Bought a bird feeder to stick on a window in my flat. I hope it doesnโt take too long to attract some birds.
Ordered one the new Chipolo Card Spots. I’ve wanted Apple to release an AirTag like this, but I don’t think it’s going to happen since they made a wallet with it built in. This will do for me.
Followed the film with a couple of cocktails. Not normally my drink of choice but they were fun.
Went to see the new Matrix film last night. Enjoyed it ok the whole, but it was a bit of a weird one. Very obsessed with referencing the earlier films. ๐ฟ
I tried to add a micro pub endpoint to my Jekyll blog. Got to the stage of being able to sign in with a client but it wonโt post. Thatโs a problem for another day.

Over the years I’ve developed a few strategies to help get me in to the right frame of mind to work. One of the best ones is my time for work playlist, I put it on when I need to focus and it never fails to get me into the right state to focus on a project. I’ve worked out that the best albums for me to work to are film soundtracks.

I can confirm counselling in 2022 is no easier than it was in 2021 or 2020. ๐

Found myself listening to the Dune soundtrack on repeat today. Really good for working too. ๐ต
All the Christmas decorations are down, the new year is well and truly underway now. Since itโs no longer used for Tree lights I now have a spare smart plug, any ideas of how to put it to use?
