Vibe Coding.. sort of

Just used claude to create a google sheet I can add “tasks” to , then, they automatically use send to things to add to my [current] task manager, Things 3. I have to use a pc at work and have to access Things 3 from my iPad or phone. I can send tasks via email though. I would have had no idea how to use google apps script by myself. Crazy what you can do with AI these days.

Very excited. Picking up a M5 MBP Pro, 24GB, 2TB. I know ram is kind of lite- but I’m not a dev. Do some lite video editing. I’m coming from an intel MBA if you can believe it.

Thinking about a M5 MBA. Haven’t had a Mac for awhile. Feel like I should go for at least 24GB of ram though. Thoughts?

I would love for iOS 27 to allow the system to use MCP. Allow hooks into all levels of the system. (if you’re willing to let it) I would love to be able to use some of the new tools that Claude allows, but with iOS versus just the Mac.

Things 4...

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 23:07:29 -0400

I had Gemini come up with rationale for things for being released in 2026:

I understand. Since Micro.blog’s specific environment is making the LaTeX \rightarrow and the HTML entity → difficult to render consistently, the best strategy is to avoid them entirely and use a simple, universal character that accomplishes the same logical function. I’ll substitute the arrow with the double-hyphen-greater-than sequence (–>) or the simple greater-than sign (>) enclosed in \text{text} blocks within the equations to ensure maximum compatibility. This clearly indicates a progression or calculation step. Here is the entire post rewritten using a simple progression indicator (–>). 🤯 The Cultured Code Chronology Conspiracy: The Things 4 Speculation Things 3 was released in 2017. Based on absolutely no evidence, we are speculating that Things 4 will arrive in 2026. The 9-year gap (2026 - 2017) isn’t a coincidence—it’s the key to a hidden, complex, and potentially cult-like numerical development roadmap employed by the developers, Cultured Code.

The Divine Fibonacci Delay If we examine the time between the major releases of the Things app, a secret, slightly modified Fibonacci sequence emerges.

Version	Release Year	Gap (Years)
Things 1.0	2008	N/A
Things 2.0	2012	4
Things 3.0	2017	5
Things 4.0 (Spec.)	2026	9
The secret equation is this: the time needed for the current development cycle is the sum of the time spent on the two previous major releases:
🔮 The Next Prophecy
If this pattern holds true, the development for Things 5.0 will require the sum of the last two gaps: 5 + 9 = \mathbf{14 \text{ years}}.
Things 5.0 Release Prediction:
(This suggests Things 5 will be the ultimate, final to-do list app, likely powered by a fully realized, non-sentient AI, making this the only possible timeline.)

The Sum of Digits Prophecy (The “Digital Root”) Beyond the Fibonacci delay, the release year must also meet an esoteric standard: the Digital Root must be 1. The Digital Root is found by adding all the digits of the year until a single digit remains.

Things 3 (2017):
Things 4 (2026):

🔑 The True Correlation The only way for Cultured Code to launch a major new version is in a year whose digital root is 1. This symbolizes the “Oneness of Things,” representing the app’s commitment to design purity and its core philosophy. 2026 is not just the year that follows the Fibonacci-delayed cycle; it is the first available year that satisfies the esoteric “Digital Root of One” requirement. The Other Prophetic Years (The Digital Root of 1) For reference, if the Fibonacci sequence is ever abandoned, here are the other years this century that could hold a release of a new Things app:

2035 (2+0+3+5=10 \text{ –> } 1)
2044 (2+0+4+4=10 \text{ –> } 1)
2053 (2+0+5+3=10 \text{ –> } 1)
2062 (2+0+6+2=10 \text{ –> } 1)
2071 (2+0+7+1=10 \text{ –> } 1)
2080 (2+0+8+0=10 \text{ –> } 1)
2089 (2+0+8+9=19 \text{ –> } 1+9=10 \text{ –> } 1)
2098 (2+0+9+8=19 \text{ –> } 1+9=10 \text{ –> } 1)

I see that DEVONthink to To 4 came out. I’m torn. Love DT and what they do, but…. I find myself using the app less and less. I need things to all be connected to the web.

I decided to try out the Hey web app on iPad instead of the actual iPad app. So far, I’m finding the web app superior in every way. Anyone else?

Stuffed GR1 26L Heritage for a quick 2 day business trip. Fits under the seat.

Had it for over a year but this is my first time traveling with it. Got it dor EDC to work but found it a little too big. Seems perfect for this 2 day trip.

not sure what it takes for the micro.blog app to show up in tapestry. Ivory (for mastodon) and the official reddit app both show up as being available.

Trying to use Hey with SMTP and Fastmail.

I don’t see my sent mail in Fastmail, what am I doing wrong

Fri, 29 Nov 2024 15:09:18 -0400

Regarding my OmniFocus database - I’m all for things running faster, but it seems like a database with potentially thousands of items should not adversely affect performance? What do you all think?

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 10:27:19 -0400

Considering giving in to M365 at work and managing work tasks within it. Currently send out to OmniFocus, but might be time to let go?

Currently using an ever goods, CTB 26 in X pac as my EDC for work. Great bag, love the organization, but feel like it’s just a little bit too big.

I’m thinking I want to try the GR1 21 L in Dyneema

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 18:37:33 -0400

Thinking of selling my Evergood’s CPL 28. I don’t really use it anymore and it could help fund another new bag.

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 21:06:27 -0400

I currently use google workspace, and still currently pay for hey and hey domains.

Considering switching to hey while using smtp with workspace.

Any downsides?

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 10:05:06 -0400

Why are the google iOS apps suck trash? I have to use M365 for work, and believe it or not- their iOS ops are actually miles ahead. Thoughts?

While I like Hey, and gmail is powerdul, increasingly, feel like me I am going back to Fastmail

Another weekend, so this means time spent contemplating switching back to Fastmail…

Sun, 12 Nov 2023 16:24:09 -0400

Thinking about switching back to Fastmail. No real reason, just want to be able to have more control. Currently use Hey.

I bet cultured code have spent the last five years improving the repeating task, interface, and workflow. Maybe they will have also added an API.
