Anyone else seeing gmail labels not syncing correctly on iOS mail on iOS 13?

#gmail

I finally found it. Myke’s iOS 13 bug is just a feature that Merlin developed almost 10 years ago!

On the iOS 13 share sheet, frequent contacts are suppose to be listed at the top. It’s not on mine.

Does it take time before it learns who to put there?

After the updates to Keep It recently, I wanted to try it again as my everything bucket. So far… I’m disappointed. I moved a folder of maybe 1500 files into the app. The app froze up and became unresponsive. Now granted, I’ve got an old MacBook Air, but still…. when I try this in DEVONthink, it works.

Then came to sync.

Keep it was taking forever to upload documents to iCloud. It never finished and would hang up again at 400 items. I didn’t have these issues with DEVONthink.

So for now, I’m sticking with DT.

All this syncing makes me long for Evernote to FINALLY bring the updates they have been promising. Time will tell…

Recently moved back to Gsuite from Fastmail. Gmails auto sorting seems pretty darn good these days, thinking of turning off my Sanebox subscription.

Made a mistake at work today. It’s hard to explain unless you work in my field. I hate this feeling. I beat myself up so much.

I have to say, DTTG by @devontech sync (via iCloud) is pretty damn fast these days.

May have come up with a new solution to sharing my everything buckets with my wife. I been having my scansnap to send all documents to dropbox, then syncing to evernote using zapier.

My wife doesn’t particularly like evernote ( I have mixed emotions) and doesn’t like using their apps, I don’t blame her.

New idea… scan all documents to a google drive folder. Google drive nativley supports searching within all types of documents. I could then share this google drive folder with my wife. She does use and like google products.

For my own uses, I will import all these documents into Devonthink 3.0 as I prefer keeping everything in there.

Once I have some time I will set this all up and we will see how it goes…

Obligatory Apple iPhone day post: Me: space grey, 256gb Pro max Wife: silver, 256gb Pro

For the first year we went with the Apple iPhone upgrade program (sorry Verizon)

Took under 2 min total.

It is so refreshing for a software giant to give us a heads up as to where they are headed.

Well done @omnigroup

Something incredibly cool about Apple Card… I was out with my kids getting ice cream. I gave the waitress my Apple Card to pay the bill … I got a push notification for the transaction on my phone before she even came back to the table.

I still don’t love using Todoist. Though it’s most convenient on my work pc :/ OmniFocus is just meh on the web so far. Wish things had a web app too. Still paying for OF web and I keep swapping around. So frustrating!

I’m still so torn with task management. The real issue is when I’m at work. Todoist is so much better on the web, but OF is so much better as iOS goes. And I know the @omni grouo always supports new iOS technologies. Typically on day one. The web app can’t improve fast enough. Currently paying for all of this 🤑

First soccer camp…

It was a 4 day sort of skills starter camp. He starts in the rec league in a few weeks. He’s excited!

Just finished watching Basketball or nothing on Netflix. No, I didn’t tear up, nope, not me.

One of my oldest mugs. I’m not giving up on you yet.

Impressed some executives at work recently with Todoist. After a meeting which I have to run, I record action items/owner and then resolution using Todoist. I basically did “print with comments” and took a screen grab. People were like, “how did you do that? What program is that? That was cool.”

Didn’t get the job

Instead I am changing teams to work under someone else to get a different perspective. My new boss will be going out for surgery for 6-8 weeks and I’ll be acting manager while he’s gone. Another slot will open soon, hopefully I get the next one.

Interviewing for a manager position tomorrow. Wish me luck!

So weird. I think I actually caused Apple to improve something. Two days after complaining to Apple I checked again and it’s seems to be completely fixed. Not sure how I was the only one with this problem though?

Apple TV Channels

Has anyone signed up for HBO via Apple TV channels on Apple TV? Try browsing for some shows. Maybe try to find Sopranos, for instance. You can’t find it. you can search for it via Siri, but it is not available to browse. This is so weird and such a bad experience. I talked to apple support who told me to download the HBO Now app. I explained to them this WON’T work, but did it anyway. They told me to restore purchases, but that of course didn’t work. You can’t since up Apple TV channels and the separate HBO Now/Go apps. So after talking to a senior advisor, the support rep told me that this is just how it works now. They are still “building it out” and I could cancel my subscription via Apple TV channels, and sign up via HBO Now in order to use the app and get the full HBO browsing experience. The bizarre thing is that you can see all the shows via the app on iPhone/iPad. this is really a bad user experience and something I haven’t seen anyone else discuss.

If @Evernote finally fixes all their bugs and ships these huge updates, I’d go back from Devonthink

Finally finished Chernobyl

gd my eternal struggle. Many of the Omnifocus features are more than I need… and Todoist on my PC functions better than OF for the web, however, Todoist has not and will not add start dates. For the way my mind works… I really want (need?) start dates. I used them for years when I used OF (probably 2008-2017 is), then with Things 3, and I just think they make too much sense for my workflow. I believe that OF will continue to improve their web experience. OF it is for now. They are also the best iOS citizen of the bunch and have already said they will be working to add the new features of iOS 13/iPad OS.

No Klay 😢. Can the warriors hold on?

🙏🏀
