What to expect today

2021-02-09 00:00:00 +0000

How would you go about setting up a “what to expect today” reminder for any given day in the future? I don’t want to have to dismiss it or have it become overdue. I just want it to be on my mind on a specific day, and go away after that.

Is there a static site generator that will pull in RSS feeds and display the items, with links back to the original items, on the site? Like Drupal’s Aggregator module, but using something like Jekyll?

2020-05-31 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve spent the last week eating dinner outside on my balcony. With the pandemic not abating as fast as I thought it would in Toronto, I’m doubling down on spending time out there. I have a “patio” storage box on the way, intended for things I don’t want to go in and out for.
