  New Mac Apps

  I am lov­ing these new apps that I recent­ly got for my 14″ Mac Book Pro. Make sure to check them out if you are a Mac user too. Top Notch to hide the top notch. Pix­el­Snap to mea­sure things on the screen. The above two apps are from the mak­ers of the screen­shot mak­ing app I love:… Read more

  Todoist Karma Enlightenment

  Almost three years ago, I moved to Todoist to man­age my todos and projects. Today I am thrilled to receive the fol­low­ing email from Todoist. I only vague­ly know about the Todoist Kar­ma fea­ture. I haven’t tak­en time to explore the Kar­ma fea­ture as it is relat­ed to stats and is tan­gen­tial to how I use Todoist, but I am… Read more

  A few cool Mac apps I use

  It’s been a few years since I wrote about the Itsy­cal cal­en­dar app that I use on my Mac. It still is the default time and cal­en­dar app on my Mac’s menu bar. Here are a few more cool Mac apps that I use and love. Clocker Clock­er dis­plays time from addi­tion­al time zones on Mac’s menu bar or as… Read more

  Reading books: quality over quantity

  Out of the 11 books in my this year’s read­ing list, I already read five books in the last few years and some just the last year: What I learned by los­ing a mil­lion dol­lars. The Psy­chol­o­gy of Mon­ey. Atom­ic Habits. Style: the basics of clar­i­ty and grace. The Cus­tomer Ser­vice Sur­vival Kit. I am going to re-read… Read more

  I real­ize in the tweet sent from my pre­vi­ous post I sound­ed like I sent a pre-pop­u­lat­ed tweet some ser­vices encour­age you to share right after sign­ing up for them. 😬 That tweet isn’t some­thing HEY pop­u­lat­ed or nudged me to send. I should have writ­ten a per­son­able cus­tom mes­sage to go along with my pre­vi­ous post. Nev­er­the­less, I am excit­ed about sign­ing… Read more

  Hey, HEY!

  Last night I bought my @hey.com email address sub­scrip­tion after try­ing it for a few days. I have been fol­low­ing HEY ever since Jason gave a heads up ear­li­er this year. Since this is from Base­camp, I knew it is going to be amaz­ing and it is! I signed up as soon as I got an invite a few days ago and I loved… Read more

  Fibre Ultra

  I upgrad­ed my fibre inter­net to Fibre Ultra, tech­ni­cal­ly called Giga­bit fibre which has the adver­tised speeds of 900 Mbps down and 500 Mbps up. First, some back­sto­ry. My first fibre con­nec­tion I got in 2018 was sol­id (Fibre 100 — 100 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up). After some time I grew unhap­py with the puny 20 Mbps… Read more

  Outlook app issues

  I final­ly removed the Microsoft Out­look app from my phone. It still keeps freez­ing and get­ting in my way. The Out­look tech sup­port per­son was kind and offered fur­ther help when I blogged and tweet­ed my trou­bles with the app in Octo­ber. How­ev­er, I still face this prob­lem with the app. The fre­quent “per­for­mance improve­ments and bug… Read more

  Something is wrong with this iOS Outlook app update

  Update: I unin­stalled the app, restart­ed the iPhone, rein­stalled the app (ver­sion 4.7), set up my email accounts and dis­abled noti­fi­ca­tions and smart default set­tings that I don’t need. It is back to all good now. Tech­nol­o­gy is weird! Read more
