I’m hoping that turning this switch to “off” in Overcast will decrease the amount of mindless listening and get me to make more conscious choices about when to listen and to what.
(Also I love any excuse to use my Pencil.)

Part of rethinking the tech I use to get work done is also getting rid of Dropbox. From now on, personal documents that need cloud sync goes into iCloud Drive and work stuff goes in OneDrive.

A silly amount of computing devices.
@MrHenko A few weeks back I was with my family down the shore. There were stacks of MacBooks. 🙃
@MrHenko Do you have a favourite?
@Bruce But that was multiple people’s devices, right? This was just my stuff, trying to get some work done. :)
@martinfeld Generally answer to that would be the MacBook Pro. It enables me to do 100% of my work and everything else that I might ever want to do on a computer.
However, I’m right now reconsidering the technology I’m using to get work done. I’m drafting a longer blog post about this but haven’t quite gotten around to finish it yet. The short version is that I’m right now testing out the iPad Mini, and that’s the reason for the insane pile of technology yesterday as I was trying to get it setup just right. My hope is to have a setup where I can do 80% of the work on the iPad Mini but still do most of it on the MacBook Pro. The benefit I’m hoping to get out of it is to be able to grab the iPad at a moments notice and go for a walk or just sit down at a different place when I feel the procrastination coming. It’ll also help a lot on the days when I’m staying at home with one or more sick kids and need to get some lighter work done in a more portable setting.
@MrHenko Great answer! I’ve always been a Mac fan but I also enjoy the ability to just pick up the iPad and start doing something away from a desk. I look forward to your longer blog post!
I just found Rebble, a project to keep Pebble watches working. Maybe this is what gets me to love my Pebble again.

Okay, let’s give this a try then!
oo this looks like a fun project
I made a slight mistake in a previous post. There needs to be two lines in the terminal to play from Spotify:
|
1 2 3 |
mpc add spotify:track:4uLU6hMCjMI75M1A2tKUQC mpc play |
And yes, things are progressing nicely now.

Right now is my favorite time of the year.
The kids are asleep after a long day of playing in the sun and I’m sitting on the deck, programming and blogging.
Apparently it’s more or less impossible to install additional software on an instance of Pi MusicBox, so I’ll try to get Mopidy working on a ”vanilla” Raspian Lite instead.

My somewhat ridiculous setup for listening to music outdoors today; a Raspberry Pi running PiMusicBox and Spotify Connect connected to an external speaker and being powered by a power bank.
I’ve just uploaded my first Mario Maker 2 course. Feel free to check it out at 2DR-HVB-FRF!
