I keep a similar thing in Org mode (yes today _I'm_ going to be the one mentioning Org Mode). Every day I create an entry into my DayNotes org file with the date in reverse order e.g. 2019-09-01 and with where I am and the weather etc.

PowerPoint now has a great feature where it will do speech to text and supply real time subtitles below your presentation. It’s pretty good too. Seems to ignore swear words though (yes we tested that first).

SharePoint Online’s user interface has been rewritten in recent years using an open source stack (node.js, React etc) and certainly works far better using Chrome and not IE. This is true of SharePoint on-prem too, at least the recent versio

Long term Flickr user here, since the start and a paying customer. In the groups that I’m active in there is a thriving community and it would be a shame if that was compromised. I know people here are happy that it is out from the yoke of

The building I currently work at in central Bristol was built in one of the areas that was largely destroyed in the war by bombing (Castle Park). There is a BBC article about the rubble being transported here http://www.bbc.co.uk

Aha! Found you troll! I work for Jisc, who run Janet (note lower case now). We’ve sorted out the email addresses now ;). When I was at UWE there was a major MUD which ran on a server under some guys desk, don’t know the name of it, but the

My father was in the Royal Engineers and after WWII he was part of the unit dumping this stuff. He claimed there were also tonnes of mustard gas and very dodgy dynamite dumped too. The dynamite was sweating and gave them all headaches. Terr

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for and I was starting to think I’d have to build my own iOS Org mode app. Found all of my Org mode files in Dropbox, and even found some TODO’s that I hadn’t completed back in 2011. Great piece of wor

Wow this looked beautiful on my iPad for a few minutes then it got so hot I had to take the tablet off of my leg. If I left it on longer I reckon it would damage the iPad.

I feel almost ashamed to admit it being a SharePoint consultant and all but I use Emacs Org Mode. I keep my org files on Dropbox so I can switch between devices.

I _very_ nearly did this whilst working for a University back in the early noughties. Luckily I managed to get to the server before the "advert" activated and wiped out everything. It was so easy to do I am surprised that it is st

For a good examination of what kind of society you might get when scarcity is gone and humans can create stuff at the drop of a hat, read Michael Moorcock's 'The Dancers at the End of Time". He doesn't go into details of
