Observations ...

... from our man in Arizona, Michael Wade.

  1. The best way to create magic is never to rely upon it.
  2. Be wary of those who think everything is driven by money.
  3. The most important conversations are those that are never held.
  4. Think more of your habits than of your plans.

Patrick is nonline

Patrick is now nonline for at least the next year.

As of March 4, 2017 I’ve stopped all online publishing. This includes my websites and social media accounts. No blog posts, no tweets, no status updates. I’m nonline. I expect this to last at least a year. In that time, I’ll be writing. My goal for that writing is to become a book.

On Sabbatical by Patrick Rhone

I'm glad Patrick is still going to be running his newsletter during this sabbatical. A little opportunity to see how the writing is going and what else he's been doing.

Looking for an agile friendly project management tool. Team have outgrown Trello. Looking at Jira and PivotalTracker. Any others I missed?

Installed .NET Core and Visual Studio Code. What could go wrong?

Holding off on an iMac purchase to see if any new models come out soon. What’s the chances of Apple releasing a curved iMac?

Replacing Evernote with Bear

Bear uses a simple three-paned design. The largest column is devoted to your current note. A smaller column to the left contains your notes in reverse-chronological order, topped by a search bar. The left-most column contains notes that you’ve pinned, as well as any tags you’ve created to organize your notes — #recipes, for example. I spent years trying to sort my notes into notebooks in Evernote, only to learn that what I really needed was a faster search box.

Why I finally replaced Evernote with Bear by The Verge

I've been a user of Bear for a few months now. Previously I used Simplenote but I found it lacking in a few features. Bear has these features along with a much more pleasant interface.
