I got my iPad Mini 2 updated to iOS 11.4 and update a bunch of apps yesterday. Not having WiFi, or internet at all, at the new house yet sucks. Hopefully the phone line will get buried this week. Yes phone line means DSL, but it’s DSL or satellite internet, so I choose DSL

I used bits of script from an action by Tim Nahumck, who also helped clean the code up in the original action.

This is a new version of my Search Mega Action for Drafts 5. It adds a text field to the prompt that’ll be pre-filled with the draft, the selected text, or be blank. The action can be run without creating a new draft.

Having to sit in an airport terminal for five hours is not fun. It did give me a chance to take care of a bunch of stuff related to the house construction being completed.

Despite a lot of rain on Saturday, we’ve gotten everything moved into the new house, and the large majority of it unpacked. There is still some stuff left at my in-laws house but we’re gonna try to get it this coming weekend.

Fisher AG7 Review

If all goes well, construction on the house should finish on Friday. It’s taken a while to get to this point, but the end is in sight.

You know that thing where there was something you wanted to remember to do, pick up your phone to enter it in your task manager of choice, get distracted before you capture what you wanted to remember, and then forgot what you wanted to remember. That thing sucks.

My 4 yr old was excited to have some “Daddy-Alistair time” this evening. We played at the park, had “don-don lunch” (McDonald’s), and let him get a toy. A very enjoyable evening.

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a pen review on my blog. Here is my latest, a look at the Tactile Turn Mover and Shaker.

I doubt I get to watch the Final Four Games tomorrow, but I want to see Loyola win. 🏀

I have moved Pens and Planes to Blot.im

My wife and I started The Man in the High Castle this week and we are hooked. One episode left in season 1 and then on to season 2.

Checkride tomorrow and then I will be finished with recurrent training for another 6 months.

I’ve been enjoying using Things again after the v3.4 update, especially after getting some workflows and Drafts actions for adding tasks and projects. I love being able to type out multiple tasks for different projects in Drafts and have them all created in one pass to Things.

I’m registering my son for kindergarten later this morning. Time does indeed fly-by quickly when you have children.
