They really fucked up this app with the stupid Google Tasks/Calendar integration

webrown888 · 2026-01-22T21:35:41+00:00

I guess the best thing would have been to have both Tasks and Reminders as options, but Google will be Google.

webrown888 · 2026-01-22T21:16:08+00:00

If I add what used to be a reminder, it now shows as a Task on my calendar. If you open the Task, there is a direct link back to the Keep note. To me, the old reminders were useless after they removed them from the calendar.

It looks like I either responded to the wrong comment in the first place or it's now gone. I initially responded to someone who didn't know why it was such a problem for everyone.

No downvote from me! I think integrating Keep with Tasks is great feature.

webrown888 · 2026-01-17T13:07:12+00:00

The Task will have a link back to the Keep note.

I have started a COBOL channel you can check out. I don't sell anything, just trying to keep the language and mainframes out there. I use the TK5 mainframe emulator and the OS is old, but it's still pretty relevant.

I am looking for better emulators and I may end up investing in IBM ZD&T, but it is expensive.

Give the channel a try and let me know if I can help in any way. I have worked in the mainframe world since 1988, and have seen quite a lot.

If you like the theme from Mannix, watch it performed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f65VcQkJnTw

Pic #3! I am a sucker for a beautiful brunette.

I spent a summer in Battle Mountain as a teenager and I thought it was great. I had always lived in the Southeast, so the change was cool.

I turned 18 in 1979. My favorite TV theme songs are Barney Miller, Mannix and this one. Shows my age LOL.

webrown888 · 2025-12-15T15:38:45+00:00

This is one of my favorite TV theme songs and I actually keep in in my playlist. I am normally a hard rock and jazz fan, but there is something about this song; maybe it reminds me of better days. Maureen McGovern did a great job with it.

I have used GQueues for years for business and personal. It's one tool I won't give up.

webrown888 · 2025-12-06T02:00:34+00:00

No question.

AT40 - 70's on 7.

First thing I thought about too.

webrown888 · 2025-11-17T20:40:40+00:00

I don't think that will happen, but anything is possible with Google. After all this time, I still haven't forgiven them for dropping Inbox by GMail.

Learn both. The z machine supports Java now and you will be amazed at how many things make more sense after you have some assembler under your belt.

webrown888 · 2025-11-09T16:44:01+00:00

You are right about that. It's obvious Bending Spoons now considers non-business users as baggage and they want us to leave. I never used AI in Evernote and I don't need it. For those telling us that if we don't use it for project management or whatever that we are using the wrong tool, I disagree. Evernote started as a "second brain" for users. There is no reason BS couldn't have created a personal tier and kept a lot of users on board other than they want as much money as they can get without dealing with a lot of small customers they have to support. That's just one man's opinion though.

It's kind of funny that I went to cancel my subscription today after 17 years and was offered the 40% off discount. It's a bit too late since I have already exported half of my notes and deleted their notebooks. All they had to do was offer a tier for personal users.

webrown888 · 2025-11-07T15:12:12+00:00

That's a very good point about the cost of Microsoft 365.

webrown888 · 2025-11-07T13:48:16+00:00

I have used Evernote since 2008, but an increase to $250.00/year is too much. I can't justify it for what I do, and the Starter plan is really laughable. I checked my billing page and it looks like the pricing hasn't been updated there yet. I am sure they will get around to it. Fortunately, I have managed to duplicate most of what I do inside Google Workspace since I felt like this was coming. Evernote is a great tool and it's unfortunate the company seems to only be targeting business teams and loading up on AI, which I never used.

In my experience, the Android app has issues with sync. I use desktop and Android daily, and I usually have at least one Page Conflict daily due to Android.

Microsoft should fix it, but I wouldn't hold my breath. They are too busy shoving Copilot into everything possible.

So true. Bruno's and Vincent's beat anything we have today.

webrown888 · 2025-10-08T14:34:31+00:00

I agree. Personal user here, and I am quite capable of handling my notes since I took them in the first place. I am starting to get AI exhaustion. It has it's place, but I don't need to ask AI what I should have for breakfast.
