Niall Doherty 1 Hunting for a new apartment online. To rent, not buy. Though buying might actually be easier, given how picky we are. I’ve seen so many apartments with great potential, ruined by crappy furniture, awful wallpaper, ugly AF interior design. Upsets me more than it should. 2 Went and viewed five apartments today. First was …
1 This framework I’ve been building is growing more complex by the day. Now up to 19 types and 5 levels. Need to be careful. Too much complexity and it won’t be useful. The goal of this is to give people the big picture, not every little detail. 2 Someone told me today that eBiz …
1 Today was Monday, but we made it our Sunday. Took the rental car up into the hills again, through the national park. Almost had the place to ourselves, except for the mosquitoes. Ended it with a sunset overlooking an old city on UNESCO’s list. 2 Got pulled over. The cop’s English is a million …
1 It bugs me when people make flawed arguments or false claims. I have an urge to jump in and set the record straight when I see that kind of thing. But it’s a slippery slope. Often I just end up arguing with fools, which makes me no wiser than them. 2 Slowing things down …
1 Trying not to pay attention to the news. All I really need know is what’s happening here in Georgia. Little else is relevant to me. Friends and family will fill me in on the latest where they are if necessary. Other than that, head down, focus on what I can control. 2 Working on …
1 Lazy morning, giving myself a lie in after a mad few weeks. Finishing off Crime and Punishment while herself sleeps. Hard to appreciate older books and movies without context. I’ll spend some time reading up on Dostoevsky this eve. 2 The health minister here in Indonesia was confident that prayer would keep us safe from …
1 Being right doesn’t matter so much if you’re an asshole about it. Sometimes I get valid feedback from people but it’s wrapped up in insults or tactlessness. Very hard to take it on board in those situations. 2 Switched to using DuckDuckGo as my default search engine. Google annoys me with their camouflaged ads. …
1 30 minutes ago I was appreciating these people and wishing them well. Now we’re all in a dangerous crush to leave the beach. Typical shirtless dudes with tattoos and muscles and beer breath, reckless on scooters. I’m glad I don’t live in Canggu. 2 Going through the top content I produced last year, seeing …
1 Some kind of festival blocking the road, looks like a bunch of folks sitting, praying. We’re forced to turn back and find a convoluted route home. Compensation: along the back roads we see a spectacular black and red sky crowning a rice field. 2 It was a year ago yesterday that a buddy jumped …
1 Averaging less than 6 hours of sleep this week, less than 5 last night. It ain’t healthy or sustainable to be spending significantly more hours in front of my laptop every day than I spend sleeping. But it’s a trade-off I’m willing to accept for a while. 2 Two ways to build a 4-hour-workweek …
