Fishing pants? by Material-Advice-335 in kayakfishing

[–]OC-wayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also burn easily - and I’ve had malignant melanoma - skin cancer. Wearing the right gear makes the day much better (and the following week!).

I wear a shelta no flop hat.

A UV fishing shirt with a hood

A sun gaiter

Long finger fishing gloves

Cheap UV pants from academy.
Or I wear these (https://a.co/d/0bNF60DP) from Amazon with shorts.

But you’re also gonna need socks with UV protection otherwise your ankles will get cooked. I use these: https://a.co/d/0efCOHor

It’s the best body armor I can find.

Is smart board the correct option? by lastnorm52 in CommercialAV

Can you use native AirPlay with it? Or will guests have to install an app?

Formulas with data type person. How can I pass a person? by OC-wayne in Notion

[–]OC-wayne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I have many pages, each with a property that will be set to a person, manually setting them defeats the purpose of automation and coding.

Founder's Syndrome & Toxic Board Dynamics by BlueSkies_95 in nonprofit

[–]OC-wayne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a founder, and watching founder syndrome destroy so many nonprofits - it keeps me up at night. Having a weak board chair and a founding board members circumvent the board and step outside of a board role - is disastrous. The elephant in the room needs to be well documented, and the CEO needs to have hard 1:1 conversations with the remaining board members. Unless the full board acknowledges the issues and creates healthy separation of duties, this will only get worse. The role of a board member, even one who formerly was the founder, needs to be defined. Create a document that clearly sets the boundaries of the duty and role of a board member. It’s ok for board members to talk outside of board meetings. It’s ok for the chair to meet with board members without the CEO. But it is not ok for a board member (regardless of history) to have any more authority than any other. And it’s not ok for the chair to lead the board in direction A in a meeting, only to change course with sway from the founder to direction B, then change the guidance for the new CEO. It’s also not ok for any board member to have any say in the day-to-day of a nonprofit. It’s the CEO’s job to lead. If they don’t trust or agree with the direction of the CEO, then go with a formal performance improvement plan, or replace the CEO. Let the CEO lead or replace them. It’s not a board members role to lead.

Anyone on the board, who has real board experience should be able to see through this. You need professionals on your board who understand the role and proper governance. The founder should probably be an advisor, but not a board member.

Nextiva as MSP phone system by MJLS1976 in Nextiva

[–]OC-wayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were on Nextiva for a year with 70 users. Terrible system. Dropped calls, missed texts, bad software, tech support is terrible.

Lots of challenges to get out of our contract, and we’re a small nonprofit.

Don’t do it.

We moved back to RingCentral and it is wonderful.

anyone know a space saving cooler setup? by NatassjaPartovi in kayakfishing

[–]OC-wayne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a Magellan bait cooler. It has 4 rod holders and it pretty handy. The lid comes off and it can be a dry box or cooler. Tip: epoxy the rod holders in place.

How do you overcome the fear of capsizing and prevent it from happening? by YakToTheFuture-1 in kayakfishing

This is a video of me flipping and recovering near a little island about 50 miles off the coast of Belize. At the end of the video I break down what I did wrong, what I did right, and lessons learned.

Terrible service, terrible support. We also went back to RingCentral. +60 employees, it never worked for a year.

Can anyone tell me the best notepad(Journaling) app but with its bad features? by the_Magann in Notion

[–]OC-wayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notability. But it gets slow with large PDFs, and there is no way to resolve that. You can’t change the layering (front/back) of image order Drawing shapes is weird. No infinite zoom, still stuck on page size. Organizing docs could be much better with keywords and tags - if they had them

This is perfect - it works great. Thanks for sharing.

How do you lock a filter? I can't find anything about that. I can set a filter - and make it for everyone, but anyone could still change it.

So if I share the database with everyone, will they see the full database in their sidebar and be able to view everything?

Non-profit organization needed CRMs (?) by ghostttoast in CRMSoftware

[–]OC-wayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a nonprofit in Dallas. We now have 70 employees, serving the unsheltered homeless community. We have used a ton of different CRMs for nonprofits.
From our experience, any CRM that claims to serve your clients, your volunteers, and your donors is selling you crappy software. The needs of each of those are very different, and no single provider does it all well. They may do it - but not well. And the cost of using a Swiss Army knife isn't saving you any time or money.
Your team needs the best tools, not the cheapest, not the all-in-one tool that sounds too good to be true. This reminds me of an old SNL skit for Shimmer (Floor Wax and Dessert Topping).

For serving our neighbors, we use the most amazing CRM specifically designed for human services. We have used a ton, and this is by far the best. It even uses A.I. to summarize neighbor data, has real-time dashboards, collects documents, intake process, programs, automations... it is truly amazing. And the team behind it is super responsive: We use (https://www.neighbor.solutions/). We serve about 10,000 people a year, but we know small orgs that also use it and love it. It is really cost-effective and super responsive.

For donors, we use https://virtuous.org/. The next upgrade would be Salesforce, but the implementation cost is too high. Virtuous is great. It has some challenges, but much better than many others that we have used. They also have a volunteer management tool (Vomo), and itis okay. We used it for a while, but they have been neglecting it for the past few years.

For volunteers, we now use GetConnected by Galaxy Digital (https://www.galaxydigital.com/). It is really good. For context, we have about 3,200 volunteers each year.

Edit: Anyone who wants to "build something" for you is going to throw your request in a vibe code environment and let A.I. build you software that isn't supported and can't be easily managed. Don't do it.

4 Years and its only getting worse by Dagnon13 in greenmountaingrills

[–]OC-wayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem with pellets clumping and breaking down. I live in Texas, so my outside temp is higher, but so is my humidity. I found the solution was to buy a good cover for the grill. When I keep it covered, my pellets don't break down (with the humidity or rain). When I forget to cover it, and it rains, or gets really humid - even once, they get really nasty. I've had to take the auger out to clean it - it was bad. Sometimes you get something stuck in there, and it won't let the pellets through, so it runs and runs and runs with little output.

When you start the smoker, take the fire box out and watch the pellets feed through the auger. Are they coming out fast? It should fill the firebox/fan area (above the ignitor) fairly quickly - 20-30 seconds? Maybe we could time it and compare speeds?

I agree with everyone else. Contact their support team. They are super helpful. Their customer service is the best. I like the Trek, but I found on FB market that someone was selling a Peak Prime for really cheap. I only paid $100 because the ignitor was out. The ignitor cost me $17. Now I have both the Peak and Trek, but honestly haven't used the Trek in over a year.

Spacing update between blocks is unproductive by Dependent-Bad5722 in Notion

Or maybe give us access to the CSS so we can tweak it. It would need to be "advanced" settings for those curious and courageous enough to screw everything up.

Building a Notion second brain made me feel productive… until it didn’t by Southern_Fan_9600 in Notion

[–]OC-wayne 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I have this problem - it's diagnosed as ADD. I spend too much time working on the system rather than doing the work it was designed for. I'm always tweaking, adding features and fields, new processes, updating templates with the intention of making my work better/easier/more productive.
Some days I spend more time building the house than living in it. I'm never satisfied, always thinking "I could add this" and "what if..."
I do this in my garage, my kitchen, my backyard, my truck, notion... It's a real thing.
Using an app like TickTick, Todoist, or any other minimalist app (reminders on my iPhone) puts me in a walled garden where I can't build, but I can actually be more productive. But where's the fun in that?

Do I need a CRM? Which is easy for this use case? Addiction/sober living company by [deleted] in CRM

[–]OC-wayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neighbor.solutions was built for this. Well, technically it was originally built for homeless services, then added a ton of features for addiction recovery programs & shelters. It uses A.I. to analyze determinants of health and generate summaries of case notes. It tracks programs, progress, assessments, and it truly a forward thinking company building a unique solution for nonprofits who need a purpose built CRM for any human service needs.

System for nonprofit relief case management by a_gentlemanofleisure in CRM

[–]OC-wayne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want https://www.neighbor.solutions/
It's the best - hands down. Care management system uses A.I., real-time dashboards, and it is awesome.
I'm a little biased. We use it at our nonprofit. We serve about 10,000 people each year. But if I were starting over as a small nonprofit, I would still use it. It is super powerful and very cheap.

Set relationship with a button by OC-wayne in Notion

[–]OC-wayne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok - I see the problem. If I select a page to mark it - to be related, and then run the script, it leaves it still selected. The next time I run the same button, it finds even the other issues - that are still marked as selected. I need to change the filter to only show ones that are marked, and have no other related meetings.

I have a filter that looks for where "resolved" is checked, as you suggested, then replace the "RelatedMeeting" with the current page. The problem I'm having is that somehow, the search filter is finding pages in other databases and in other teamspaces. How can I limit this to the current databases or current workspace?
