  • In 1995, PC stood for Pain & Confusion. And, the frustrating bit of machinery was the Printer.

    This printer is still causing pain in 2023!

  • I’m really close to ordering ReMarkable 2. My primary focus is to use it for distraction-free thinking and journaling. Do you have one? I would like to know your thoughts and opinions. Cheers! πŸ“±

  • Netflix has got the Harry Potter films. I grew up with Harry Potter books & films. I have not read or watched any of it because I did not want to “go with the crowd” during my teenage years.

    I started watching the films over the weekend. I LOVE IT!

  • Evernote's Price Hike causes its Subreddit Meltdown

    I have just found out that Evernote has increased its pricing quite drastically. The Evernote subreddit is having a meltdown. I still think Evernote is a great product. Nothing beats the OG of Note Taking apps.

    Fun fact: I signed up for Evernote on May 4th, 2009 and had been a paying customer for more than a decade before moving on to Standard Notes in 2021.

  • If you want to “Win Every Argument” then you may want to check out Mehdi Hassan’s book. The advice may work for Spousal Arguments. However, these are better to be lost.

  • I may only have 10,220 days

    I did some Maths last night:

    If I live for 90 years, I will have 32,850 days.
    My father passed away when he was 66 years i.e. 24,090 days.
    Now, I’m 38 years old and I have lived for 13,894 days (as of 2023-04-09).
    If I pass away at 90 years, my remaining days are approx. 18,980 days.
    If I pass away at 66 years, my remaining days are approx. 10,220 days.

    The lesson here is to remember the finitude of life.

  • Last night, I tried reading before going to sleep. I usually listen to a Calm Sleep Story before sleep. Now, I prefer reading over the Sleep Story.
