This Is A Post From Mars Edit

No need to click in - it’s just a pile of ’lorem ipsum’ - with a quote … BUT - this excerpt courtesy of @danielpunkass and Mars Edit.

Blockquote Testing 3

Testing - Just Testing. Now Sorting - Just Sorting.

Just to say after writing that last post I suddenly realized that Reminders has become my Task Manager of choice.

For years it’s been Things … which still lurks .. but Reminders has always been there because ‘family sharing’ .. and then a few weeks ago I asked Siri to remind me to buy something and Siri dropped it into Reminders - not Notes where the shared shopping lists live … I know I know … sorry … because ‘sharing’.

Not only that .. but turns out ‘Shopping’ has a whole auto categorizing thing going on that I had somehow missed … so I moved my quick lists in there and before you know it - other stuff.

It has come a long way since I last used it with vengeance .. not deleting Things yet though.

Two wishes for WWDC

  • however they are doing the shopping thing - let me set up other lists to allow similar categorization
  • Introduce time boxing and necessarily tighter calendar integration.

The post 🔗 Slashes by Manu got me to thinking …

If

foo.com/contact

takes you to ‘contact’ - but by using a ‘redirect’ and the actual URL is more like

‘stuff.weirdandcrazy.jcaourincag79q8i6iasicnAYT.com’

… is it still a slash page?

Asking for a friend.

Just updated my 🔗 Using ‘page’ .. no longer just personal usage - now added business.

SlashPages are here.

I’d already playing with them without knowing the name. I was nearly ‘done’ and then Pratik shared this. Menu item added.

Hat Tips to @rknightuk @bjhess @sivers @alastairjohnston @manuelmoreale @goblingumbo @pratik @simonwoods - you have each inspired me on this one.

I tried the Spark introductory Premium offer last year - and while some things are interesting and cool - at a renewal of 60 bucks … yeah - not that interesting and cool … and then I just spotted that they seem to be in the SetApp store.

If Craft is the Word/Doc online equivalent to what Google Docs had the opportunity to be.

And Airtable is the Excel/Numbers online equivalent to what Google Sheets had the opportunity to be.

Then

What is the Powerpoint/Keynote online equivalent to what Google Slides had the opportunity to be?

Figma, Miro and Canva don’t seem to be it?

🎈136/366 Translating A Transcript

German Language Podcast.
In 🍎 Podcasts - you can see the German language transcription.
BUT - you can’t copy the whole thing.
Looks like you can.
But you can’t.

I use software to record meetings.

Ooh I thought.

Play the podcast - and record - at end of podcast one german transcription. Run that through a translator and voila … or so I thought.

I did an experiment - thankfully.

What the software actually seems to have done is taken the german audio and decided as best it could as to what the german audio was saying - as if it was English.

This was the transcription ..
