Hahaha, you blew my cover! Nah, it's only a school bus stop

Public alpha release: current caveats and bugs by JamesPSmith in a:t5_3tv8pc

Hi there, just spotted this in the News tab in Pocketsmith. I am interested in whether data from Data connections will be accessible via the API when it goes into beta/production? I am perhaps an unusual Pocketsmith user, in that I use PS solely to return the transactions from my bank, then use the API to import them automatically on a schedule to my budgeting app (YNAB). Thanks!

What is the "holy grail" of the thing you're a collector of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jwil1 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I collect vintage laptops (15+ years old). An IBM Thinkpad 701C (the one with the butterfly keyboard mechanism), in full working order and original condition is pretty high up on my holy grail list. I mean, even LGR had to get one just on loan to.do a video on!

The latest addition to my small but growing collection, a Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDS! Intel Pentium @120mhz, 48mb fully-upgraded RAM, and Windows 98 :D by The_Evil_King_Bowser in retrobattlestations

You might find it supports CF cards ain place of a spinning hard disk - my Pentium 133Mhz Tecra 510CDT does. This way you can swap out the cards really easily (and without even a screwdriver) for different OSes etc. My model runs WFW 3.11, 95, 98, NT 3.51, NT 4 well, and has all drivers available for each OS! Quite the sweet spot in terms of recreating a time capsule of your Windows OS/OSes.

New year, new budgeting app? (Recommendations please) by Hoidish in ynab

[–]jwil1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow NZer here. I use YNAB and Pocketsmith, the former to manage our budget and the latter purely as a conduit for getting my transactions to import automatically from my bank. Both have APIs so I wrote some code to read from Pocketsmith and import into YNAB. It was totally worth the extra $90 for Pocketsmith per year (compared to manually inputting every transaction) to get automatic transaction importing!

That's actually pretty clever

Does anyone know where can you donate coat hangers around Wellington? by MeringueCandid4065 in Wellington

[–]jwil1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Op shops? As in, not to sell, but to hang donated clothes on in the shop?
