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! 📱
A good day out of walking and brunch.
I have got a new 15-min sand timer for processing email and quick wins in my next-actions list. Hot damn!⏳
I gave in and had Donner Kebab. Not proud!
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!
I haven’t been following Micro.camp live, but it is a good catchup on YouTube. Thanks team!
Today is the Wife’s birthday. I gave her an earring set and cut a carrot cake. Good times!
My urge to go back to Evernote is high. I’m resisting it!
Last night, my friend & I went to our favourite Yemeni restaurant in Manchester for Lamb Mandhi & Hamees Chicken with Kunaafa for dessert. I felt relaxed and settled from a stressful week.
I bet this is going to be the cutest thing you are going to watch today: https://youtube.com/shorts/9D4VORcRawo
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.
Strawberry cooler from Tim Hortons. I got timbits as well. Delicious.
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.
Got a new cooker today.
Getting ready for next week’s Coronation celebrations and Bank holiday weekend.
King Bear 🐻
I’m on BlueSky now. Here’s my username: ridwan.bsky.social. Thanks to @maique for the invite code.
I have just heard of BlueSky. It is some sort of Twitter clone. Do you guys know about this?
I like photographing Trees 🌳
Break the Rules!
I’m considering resubscribing to Day One. Since their acquisition by Automattic; I’m not sure how serious Day One is with our data?
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.
I’m watching Brooklyn 99 on Netflix. What an incredible show!
