The Netbook still kicking

A little proof that you can still get some work done while listening to music and surfing the web with Trisquel 7 and 2GB of ram in a 7 year old Toshiba NB505 netbook in 2017.

Tonight I ssh’d into my Linux web server zipped up my WordPress wp-content folder and backed up the database. I then downloaded the backups via wget. 🙂

The future is a grim place

With all our advancements in work and productivity… Including the standing desk, people still eat at their desk in the future.

With all the advice on Medium and countless other places about workplace productivity… This is what we have to look forward to. 😉

Field Notes pocket notebooks have arrived!

These tiny notebooks are extemely useful and I almost always keep one in my front pocket right next to my phone.

It beats fumbling with my phone to take a quick note.

Wednesday notebooks and pencil
My Wednesday purchase from Fieldnotesbrand.com included a gift two pack of notebooks and a Field Notes pencil.

These have become a tiny obsession over the last two years as I have tried and abondoned several note taking and productivity apps. None have been as quick or flexible as a pocket notebook.

When at my desk I generally slap it next to my keyboard to jot down anything I need quicker than I could switch to OneNote, Evernote, Google Keep, SimpleNote or whatever.

When away from my desk I can fold it along the spine and scribble something during a “walking” meeting. Tiny notebooks are hardly a revelation, people have been using them forever.

Before you ask, I don’t put passwords or sensitive information in these things. That’s what a password manager is for. 🙂
