> That's a lot of work to avoid buying an electric blanket with a timer. I mean, it's cool and all, but I would hope the lessons learned were worth the effort.

Totally agree with you. I guess it is rewarding to make this kind of work with success, moreover if, at the end, it costs less than the original one. I hope the skils u've learnt will be reused in another project, maybe more "elaborated".

> Politics is just for kicks, because I know most of it is filtered and slanted by its organization. Seems it takes a day or 2 before we get the real truth to anything. The facts are normally too skewed and biased on release.

I'm totally agree with you. Most of the actual news articles are looking to create some "buzz". I rather prefer waiting few days and read complete article well structured that exposes the facts.

Have you got an answer from PM staff ?

> I have a little suspicion that you didn't try it. :-)

Indeed, because I didn't understand, as you imagine, how is works and why it more convenient than orther app. So I'll not give a try to something that is not clear.

> I will make that clear on the website shortly.

Yes it might be good :-D.

It may sound rude, but what is the point of it ?

I mean, every smartphone has a note app, which do not require internet, so why people will use messageyourself instead of a basic app already existing ?

Yes it is working ! :D

Like you, I tried several tools for taking notes (work or personnal). However, I didn't succeed using them during a long time.

So I switched to little notebook with one pen that is smooth to use. For now I find (quite) easily my notes, but in the future I'll probable need an easy why to search and find notes.

Usinge Markdown might be the newt thing I'll do. It's super easy to get perfect/clean notes with it.

So you might have a try with a notebook and see if it's enought for you.

All my note are "simple", they are only ideas or TODOs. But if you want to keep some code/dev/scripts notes you should concider markdown tool.

I just have a few try on it and I find it quite laggy. Example : go to -> top devs -> choose one dev -> go back . Here is super laggy. Am I the only one ? (Edit : no i'm not :D)

Exactly, that's what I'm trying to do ... which is not easy :).

By doing this, I'm less on my phone & less on my computer. in the same time I delete some time-consuming apps on my phone.

One thing I can add is to focus on the things your are doing and stick to them. For example : reading a book or an article completely . Sometimes I just read the title and only some of the sentences, thus I don't the get the point or the idea of the authors. (it is one among many others)

Ok so what you are suggesting is to :

- create a time machine copy on an external HDD

- put the new SSD in the computer, restart it

- get the copy of time machine on the new disk

Will it be possible to reboot with the brand-new SSD inside the mac ?

Thank you.

What do you think of SanDisk SSD ? How did you do that ? I mean steps by steps, what tool did you use ?

What could work is to drink water with your old cup of coffee. That might sounds bullshit but, but your body is accustomed to have the coffee cup in hands. It like a smokers that have to have somthing between his fingers, and that's why they end up by eating some junk food (not all of them of course)

> Absolutely. I work in cleantech, and you should, too! Solar and wind are economical, so now the biggest issue is scaling them up. That means tons and tons of problem solving, which means great engineering jobs!

Economical right. But can it replace nuclear power plants ? Because we need a LOT of power (datacenter, electric cars ?).
