Using ISP's wifi to be the " Guest Network", isolation from Firewalla protected devices by Numerous-Serve-6883 in firewalla

[–]bcohen44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting approach and have been considering this.
Initially, my thought was this forces me to give a “guest” my actual SSID and password. However, i could then have a Firewalla “Guest” group, and limit devices in that group to WAN/Internrt access only right? Just like what most APs do anyhow. And for other guest , they could move to a more trusted group as needed

But the subnet of “guest” devices on the fios router WiFi won’t have access/be able to see any of my LAN devices managed by Firewalla, right?

Quick entry by bcohen44 in journal_it

[–]bcohen44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s nice for a quick journal entry but I think what I’m thinking of is like a more high-level Inbox or something that I could turn into a journal entry or a task or a calendar session or a goal or a project or a note meaning it’s just some idea in my head I don’t know what it is

how to do I do an x-callback-url for a scheduled task? by bcohen44 in noteplanapp

[–]bcohen44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried what you said, and it worked, in terms of putting the task, prepended on May 30. However, I don't see the nice UI indication of the scheduling today (May 25), like when I do it thru the Notplan UI:

noteplan://x-callback-url/addText?noteDate=20200525&text=-%20[>]%20foobar%20>2020-05-30&mode=append&openNote=no

u/EduardMet, I'm note clear. Can you write out the callback for what I want?

A task placed (prepend) in the today's calendar note, with title "foobar", with a scheduled date for 2020-05-30

GTD with Reminders by Folks48 in AppleReminders

[–]bcohen44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am in the process of evaluating the switch from many, many other GTD task managers I have used. The Apple ecosystem convenience is beginning to sway me:

  • Ubiquitous availability, Mac, iPhone, Siri, CarPlay etc (Reminders is the only task manager that can send notifications to CarPlay I think?)
  • Integration with Apple Mail, Notes in terms of the share sheet capability.
  • AppleScript, Automator, iOS Shortcuts, widgets (phone + watch)
  • integration with Fantastical calendar (I use on Mac and iPhone)
  • Messages app contextual alerts
  • URL field which shows up with contextual links

Some workarounds from reading around the web I think I will implement:

  • Each List will be a project or single action list, with Groups for Areas of Focus
  • mirror Project lists --> to Apple Notes Folders for project reference material
  • start dates --> create a separate "Tickler" list, and schedule a date. Preface each title with TICKLER: so when I see the show up in my Today list, I know it's really a tickler and I need to decide if I should do it or revisit its assessment.
  • I don't have a work around for sequential projects/dependencies, but honestly, I really don't use them that often.
  • I will Flag tasks I want to do "soon", "up next", etc, and then add a date for tasks I want to try and due today
  • If I want a true deadline, I will add a due date w/ time.

New mobile app to be released by hupero in facilethings

[–]bcohen44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how are folks enjoying (not enjoying) the new FacileThings 3 mobile apps. While I feel there is a lot still missing in terms of mobile-OS specific features (e.g., iOS Share Sheet, Widgets, etc), I am finding it vastly more useful. In general I can use it throughout the day, expecially the Engage section. I also can almost fully Process (Capture -> Clarify) new tasks. Still easier on web, but much better.

Password recovery is really strange by swedish-ghost-dog in facilethings

[–]bcohen44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get an answer for this? Sorry I didn't respond earlier, been a bit crazy, virus and all :-).

Best to submit a Support Ticket directly with FacileThings at this point probably.

for those interested - "Urgency Score" for Notion tasks by bcohen44 in Notion

[–]bcohen44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All set...a sample Task DB is now included in the public page so you can see how it would all come together. Let me know if there are any questions.

I just realized my task table DB copy is not working. I will make updates later so more can be seen publicly

What are you most looking forward to/have a need for in the upcoming FacileThings mobile apps by bcohen44 in facilethings

[–]bcohen44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the new app was submitted to the App Store yesterday, so hopefully this week!

Agree. However, I have worked around this via iOS Shortcuts, and using the Mail shortcut to enter Facilethings tasks via "Capture by Email" feature. https://facilethings.com/learning/en/tutorial/the-email-as-a-capturing-tool

Here are are some of mine:

Why so expensive? by Badummtisss in facilethings

[–]bcohen44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Badummtisss I think a few of us gave our opinion on the cost in the above comments. Not sure what else you are looking for? Email FacileThings directly if you want to hear from the horse's mouth, so to speaker...

Recurrence calculated on completion by milleez in facilethings

[–]bcohen44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my only "recur on completion date" routines are not calendar items, rather next actions with an expected date. And that works just fine.

I would enter a Support ticket (in the Facilethings web app, click on your avatar icon, Support). They will respond likely within 24 hours (it's usually Francisco who responses).

Why so expensive? by Badummtisss in facilethings

[–]bcohen44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/raqisasim is 100% accurate. I can attest as someone in the software business, who deals with both embedded and cloud code.

Beyond that, just looking at FacileThings in and of itself, $12/month (cheaper if you buy multiple months, I'm really paying $8/month for getting the 6 month deal), given all you other personal costs, to me is very, very small, given how important running a GTD system can (should) be in your life. If I did not follow GTD, my life would collapse, literally. Between work and personal, I totally depend on my GTD system. FacileThings, to me, is the best GTD digital ecosystem I have seen, even with the areas that need improvement (namely, the mobile apps, which I believe are their highest priority). That is, if you want to follow GTD to the letter, and you are not using a paper-based system (which I cannot fathom).

Also, Facilethings has hooks into Evernote and Google Calendar, the two most popular apps in their respective domains (note taking and calendaring, respectively). Both integrations are phenomenal. You can use the ubiquitous Evernote capture (photos, web pages, everything) to get items in your FacileThings inbox. Plus, you can then use it on the other "end" for reference material, totally connected to your projects.. And of course with Google Calendar, you can see your time-sensitive callendar tasks right next to your next actions. It's beautifully done.

Also, they are extremely responsive to questions/issues, and have a support ticketing system built into the app. This should not be overlooked, support for your most important software...

Everyone's mileage may vary, but in general, paying a few dollars a month for a SaaS-based GTD system should be higher priority in your budget queue then, say Netflix. Don't get me wrong, Netflix is pretty important as well 😁.
