A colleague was noting that he was wanting a better approach to manage his email so I thought I should document what I have been doing for several years now and has been (mostly) working for me. The approach builds on top of Inbox Zero & Eisenhower Matrix blog.gianoutsos.com/2023/01/how-i-…

Bonus #CovidGraph showing vaccination rates between the wider population, positive cases, and hospitalisations. Feel free to show this to anyone wondering if vaccines work. (Thanks to @marcdaalder for sharing the MoH data)

As conscious as I am about not analysing our situation beyond my expertise (and it's not much), I thought I'd share this observation (thanks for the nudge @jamespeshaw). We last had the number of today's active cases ~19 days ago. It took 7 days to reach peak, but 12 to drop back

We have a new @nzherald app! It’s very exciting and more personalised - if you live in the South Island you no longer need to get Auckland motorway alerts, and vice versa! Adjust font sizes, relish in Premium, and enjoy a better visual experience. Lovely. nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/articl…

@plambrechtsen There has been a lot of consolidation and these orgs have altered their direction quite a bit over the years. Apple and Google seem to me to have lost some of their magic. Microsoft has made good inroads to reinvent itself as a cloud oriented company. FB continues to be dominant.

@gianouts My view is the conglomerates are consolidating. So I can't see the big players losing much of their market share.

This is a good reminder of how quickly our technology landscape can dramatically change. It makes me wonder how different the tech giants of Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft and AWS will look in 10 years. #technology #trends

@67george @PeterFD @mandamonium @misstahi @MissUltratec @lewisbill @ben_pen @mikebros @antheaw @The_Donal I hadn’t come across stickies.io . It looks interesting but I don’t like how it mandates association with a social account.
