A week or so ago I’ve lost my wallet. I lost my debit card, my PayPal card and my super secret company’s travel card, and my driver’s license. Everything is replaceable, well, almost everything. So far, I’ve gotten a new debit card, today I got a new PayPal card, I am yet to get my company’s card replacement and my license. The DMV it’s super slow for these things, so I am not surprised I haven’t gotten my driver’s license yet.

What I am not going to get replaced, is the wallet. I am mourning this wallet. It was the best wallet I’ve ever owned. Bought it about three years ago from Pad & Quill and hadn’t bought another wallet ever since. Sadly, they don’t have it on their site anymore. Now I need to go wallet hunting and it’s probably just as bad as job hunting 😅.

My fitness august challenge is to close the exercise ring 25 times. This month I kinda sucked at it but that’s besides the point. What about those few days where I got 60 plus minutes of exercise, like today. The ring requires 30 minutes of exercise. Shouldn’t I get credit for the extra time? I mean, this isn’t rocket science, it’s basic mathematics.

This week I got the beta for Ulysses, I think it’s Ulysses Version 21. Playing with this app again as my main text editor, it’s like finding an old love. I have always been a fan of the way this app looks and feels. Love the way it handles links, it’s a pretty slick, minimalistic and powerful.

I have been using Drafts, since forever for everything text related and most recently for all my writing. Occasionally I’d use iA Writer, especially since the last mayor update, but Drafts has been the go-to for everything. I was a heavy Ulysses user when I had my blog hosted with Wordpress, since I could compose and post straight from the app to it. Sadly, Ulysses does not support, or doesn’t have the Micropub feature (yet), making it impossible to compose and post from the app to Micro.blog, where my blog is currently hosted. Which is why I had stopped using Ulysses and moved to Drafts and/or iA.

Every chance I get, I would harass the Ulysses people on Twitter asking for this feature and always get the same response

I’ve +1’d the feature request for Micropub in your name, so please consider your vote counted. I can’t make any promises, but your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for helping us to continuously improve our app!

That was today actually and probably the 5th time I’ve gotten this same response

One day, they did have a different response, though. They said they were kind of working on it, I remember taking a screenshot of the tweet and probably posted it here on Micro.blog, but I am not going to look for it 😜

I really hope they add this feature, I really like this app and would love to continue using it. For the time being, I am composing in Ulysses, exporting as Markdown and then copy and paste to the Micro.blog app or Gluon. It’s kind of a hassle but I also want to test this version of the app and help in any way I can. I wonder how is going to go the moment I need or want to add images to my post. Normally, I would use iA Writer exclusively when adding images, it makes it so easy to do so and then posting directly from the app to Micro.blog.

Again, like finding an old love or maybe I am just in the honeymoon period.

Will see.

I was browsing the Netflix’s and stumble upon this documentary, The Social Dilemma, I am sure some might have heard of it. Anyway, it kind of freaked me out a bit. I mean, most of this stuff I was already awarded of but when it is presented to you in this way, it sinks even more. After watching, I started thinking about my social presence, but much more about my usage rather. The first social network/app where i find myself wasting toile the most, it’s instagram. I hate this is the case, part of me feels very guilty of still having this account opened. I have expressed my feelings on this many times over. Well, on Monday I deleted the app from my phone and I only check instagram when i am at my work computer, using the browser. Which by the way, it is a much better experience than the app. That being said, i yet don’t feel like i spend a lot of time browsing it. When I am at home using my phone, i no longer feel the urge to download the app and start browsing. Maybe this will give me the final push to delete the whole thing. In fact, I rarely post any photos there, it’s just browsing.

Will see what happens. Meanwhile, I have noticed that both my Twitter and YouTube, think that I am Canadian. Something to do whit my company’s internet I presume. Every time I go to YouTube or amazon.com, I am Canadian.

Not going to lie, this will most likely, well, this is another Task Managers type post. This is a constant struggle for many of us, some have settled and found their best app/workflow and that is cool. Me, well, some may say I’ve got a problem 😅

Last night I was thinking about this long and hard. After some thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that, as far as my personal life, I don’t have that many buckets. Where I do have many buckets is at work and I feel like I don’t need to carry that with me all the times on my personal phone.

For my personal bucket, I am just going to stick to Reminders, I don’t have a lot of organization in there, just lists and there aren’t that many. It is simple, works great with Siri and notifications stay persistent on the locks screen, thus I rarely miss anything.

For my work buckets, I am just going to really on good-old Todoist. Sadly, I am all Windows at work making Todoist the best option for me. I really do like Things 3 but I need a full-on tasks manger only for work and, like I have said before, I work on Windows therefore, Things 3 is not an option.

Let us try and see how this works out.
