I am guessing that Spark New Zealand is having an issue - got an email this morning demanding an outrageous amount of money that apparently I owe them. Not phishing as far as I can so tried to log on to their site - which I did - but no service available, no billing, no way to message them, no list of products - but I was recognized. Tried their app - same deal.

UH OH.

🔗 Received from my friend Graham, article from The New Yorker .. as I commented tomorrow him;

Personally speaking - my life is too short

🎈112/366 I am at a good point now. Time to stop for a while and let it digest .. but still ‘goodenough’ to have a link on the site that takes you down the rabbit hole for any passing observer interested enough to click.

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

Another discovery from the archives … although only March, so not so bad.

Many of us seek status and belonging without even seeing it; we find it hard not to react to what others are doing, especially those we have been programmed to want to impress. We’re reactive without realizing it. We put limits on ourselves because we buy into other people’s rules. It’s the fundamental limit I’ve observed in most people, including myself and most founders: they define success by succeeding according to the rules that others have defined.
