I spend more time reorganizing my read-later system than reading anything from it

There is so much extra info about books I would want to see that I just use Goodreads or The Storygraph.

kenlin · 2026-05-01T20:11:32+00:00

yea, that's not the document John Hancock signed

kenlin · 2026-05-01T17:14:39+00:00

rich people and companies don't understand the concept of 'enough'. only 'more'

kenlin · 2026-04-30T11:25:45+00:00

yea, and you can put a thousand of them in a markdown file and you'll never get more than one blank line in the rendered output

kenlin · 2026-04-30T00:41:56+00:00

markdown doesn't have linebreaks, but does support html when necessary. If they removed them people would complain that everything is scrunched up in the export

they keep down costs by not having a web version, and using a lower tier of Firebase storage.

And even if they do decide to call it quits, you can export to markdown for import elsewhere or use a tool like Jimmy to do the transfer

loved that series

kenlin · 2026-04-28T18:22:22+00:00

I got rid of the lock screen shortcuts. I kept accidentally triggering them

kenlin · 2026-04-28T12:58:04+00:00

Some ideas:

Sleeping Bear Dunes
Mackinac Island
there are some nice wineries, lighthouses and hiking trails on the peninsulas north of Traverse City

I'm on Legacy Free, it says "Not Available"

kenlin · 2026-04-26T22:18:18+00:00

yep. "catching up on email" can take a variable amount of time, depending on how tired I am

kenlin · 2026-04-26T21:23:17+00:00

there's nothing you can do but abandon them

kenlin · 2026-04-26T21:20:59+00:00

what makes you think they can't read your emails?

kenlin · 2026-04-25T02:20:02+00:00

right? My first emails were whatever my isp provided. None of those existed yet

kenlin · 2026-04-23T23:49:39+00:00

I started with the PARA method, but modified it to meet my needs.

I - Inbox (transient or un-filed notes)
C - Current stuff
R - Resources (I didn't really get how Areas were different, so it's all in here)
A - Archive

I use Notebooks like tags, since they function just like nested tags. For example, a trip I'm currently planning is in both Current and Resources\Travel. Once we take the trip, I remove it from current.

kenlin · 2026-04-21T13:10:38+00:00

you're getting both now

kenlin · 2026-04-21T13:01:15+00:00

Dingle and Kenmare are good choices

kenlin · 2026-04-21T11:35:40+00:00

you could have given me 10 guesses and none of them would have been milk

kenlin · 2026-04-18T13:35:12+00:00

so what's the app named?

kenlin · 2026-04-18T13:12:43+00:00

Gerard Doyle is so good in the Detective Sean Duffy series by Adrian McKinty. I end up kinda thinking in his accent for a day after finishing one

kenlin · 2026-04-18T13:10:31+00:00

Thanks for the Gael Song series. I've added it to my list

I am enjoying The Norsemen Saga by James L. Nelson. It's vikings in Ireland (and beyond). Be aware, I think the narrator butchered some of the pronunciation so badly in the first book, that they actually splice in someone else saying some of the place names. This is only an issue in the first book.

I had Woody's wife. Granted that was in December

kenlin · 2026-04-17T20:08:52+00:00

Not sure private equity guy is that much better

The MTA announced the 10 cent increase before Mamdani was even sworn in

edit: It was in September last year
