樵志小記

George's notes

Trying to implement webmention support to my static blog engine. Should require non-trivial efforts.

Why does it have to take iCloud Drive over 5 minutes to sync a 5KB text file?

Memorizing this keyboard shortcut will save you much time and trouble, especially when every input devices have gone wireless.

Keyboard shortcut: Change the way Tab moves focus

除了得COVID發高燒那幾天之外,今年也不靠冷氣渡過了夏天。只是沒想到,入秋之後的夜晚反而特別難熬,明明室外氣溫午夜之前就降到三十度以下,但鄰居冷氣排出的廢熱卻會隨著晚風吹進來。晚風該涼不涼,心裡自然不爽。

iOS 15.2. Calendar shortcuts are still unusable. Replaced all of them with Toolbox Pro’s “create calendar event”. Now I’m happy.

Regretted having upgraded to iOS 15. Shortcuts that trigger calendar commands are too flaky to be usable. Got “No calendar has been set.” but it’s definitely set.

入秋以來終於盼到舒適的氣溫。未來的秋天恐怕都會來得這麼遲吧。

秋分之後兩週間,面南的房間氣溫反而更高,今天就看到用電創歷史新高的消息。可是不只氣溫,空污也讓自然通風顯得難行,就算放消息出來讓人節電,若無法改善外在環境,效果恐怕也有限。短期看來,似乎只會繼續往惡性循環裡去。

一直以來,認為我的鄉愁總在未來,而非過去。但今天突然意識到自己非常懷念2016年以前的世界。

Been logging health data to Calendar so that they’re easily accessible and comparable to other factors like weather, air quality, etc. This QS Ledger can be a step forward but not sure how much more I might need from it than a Google Sheets.

餐廳內用不限社交距離與隔板,但戶外只有田裡山裡水裡不必戴口罩。我是不是看錯了什麼?

類似《魷魚遊戲》的戲劇幾乎已經是一種類型片了,為什麼到現在才突然獲得大量矚目實在不明白。但每一次看到這種「遊戲片」我都想到《聽風的歌》裡的老鼠:

「老鼠的小說有兩個優點。首先是沒有做愛場面,然後是沒有一個人死掉。」

Siri Shortcuts and widgets really changed how I interact with my iPhone. Most of the things I do with phone now start with a widget or a Shortcut trigger on the home screen.

Bought a pair of headphones from a local brand. The qualities were so bad that I had to send back for fixing 3 times in a single year. During the process I had to use email and phone to finally get headphones fixed. Now I get their spam mails and text messages all the time.

Worst email spam I get is from GettyImages. No unsubscribe button on their mails. Does not let me sign in from my password saved by Keychain. Retrieving password required 8 captcha tests and this time the mail failed to arrive.

I forget things. I just do. That’s why I’ve grown to be organized and learn methods like GTD to help me get through life. Asking me to train my “memorizing power” is absurd because that would just cram more garbage into my brain and leave even less room for essentials.

Prompted sign-in should remain on whatever page the user is currently reading. This seems obvious but many big websites fail to do this and always redirect to their home page.
