I’m testing out a coworker’s heavily curated set of automations for tracking work project details, tasks, etc. to see if it brings me value.
I’m most concerned about it being overly eager in signing me up for things. I don’t want to over-extend myself just because an LLM thought it was worthwhile.
It seems more important than ever to use something like the Horizons of Focus to align my time and energy. I have tried creating my own language around this concept, as none quite feels right, but this is close enough and a framework I can “just use”.
I started using a proper Nerd Font for my terminal 6-8 months ago. I keep forgetting which specific font it is that I installed from the zip. It is caskaydiacovenerdfont-regular.ttf which has a full name of CaskaydiaCove NF Regular when referenced.

I’m impressed with the Ocarina of Time remastering. Also, my wife and kids are each playing their own campaigns which makes me happy.

I entered the lottery for the 2027 Western States Endurance Race! I only have one ticket, so chances are low, but it can happen 😉
Got to join both my kids' elementary schools today for their Halloween parties. Fun to see how the different schools have their own twist on things. Both were fun, though my 3rd grader’s school had a parade which was a new one for me!

Ran across this simple, customizable, camper/teardrop alternative that sits on a normal 8x5 utility trailer. Freedom Campers
I’m intrigued at the flexibility here and am considering this as an option to support me when I travel for trail races.
Testing the Obsidian Journals plug-in… So far it hadn’t added much value for me. Going to give it a good couple week trial.
Good reminder this morning from the Finding Mastery course I’m taking:
Stress:
- is required for growth
- represents opportunity
- is a resource for performance
Stress is part of good health. None is bad…so is too much. Balance is key.
Wow, about $1 later, I have several more quality of life features. Quite satisfied!
For anyone interested…here’s the source: mathyousee/mb-quickpost-omarchy
I’m testing a new multi-line version of my micro.blog posting tool.
Cumulative active time spent building these variations…about 10 minutes.
wow, now I used my default agent to create a simple quick-post to micro.blog feature, I’m up and running in under 5 minutes! This could be addictive…
On my Omarchy setup, I found that each time I restarted I was opening email apps on one virtual desktop with the scrolling option (Super + L) and and resizing them to take up most of the screen width. Once I realized this I had my default agent store and set those defaults so that’d be automatic.
Watched: Crystal Lake Season 1 🍿
Origin story… Had some great moments and overall worth the watch.
