My first Alexa skill went live (Roald Dahl trivia!) so I scored a sweet new hoodie. 😊 https://t.co/9WbAtW5o4O https://t.co/rCw298rifQ


@frankarr @mattallen Uh, I am the Queen of this Club. Have I not shown you my ridiculous contact management system that I had to develop so I could search people based on arbitrary attributes (like “the guy with the eyebrows”) because I can’t remember their actual names anymore?


@frankarr @mattallen PS neither of you are the guy with the eyebrows.

@DrNemski @frankarr @mattallen Yes. It’s called @FullContact. Still requires a lot of pruning to keep it useful though!


@bartlorang The hardest part isn’t really anything you can help with – it’s making the time to add in my notes on new contacts. Maybe a way to find all contacts *without* notes? Prompt me to provide it for recently added contacts while it’s still fresh in my mind?


@bartlorang I also tried out Cloze and liked how it gave me a single view of all contact with a person. (I just didn’t like all the CRM stuff around it.) That would be a pretty significant request though I’m guessing! 😂


@bartlorang @lioromano For me, the context isn’t meetings with invited guests so much as conferences and meetup groups. I need some sort of AR glasses. 😂


We need a “Days Since Kris Has Bitched About Google Reader’s Demise” counter on the wall. It doesn’t often get above 30. (Currently sitting at 0, fwiw.)


A plea: ask for permission before you introduce Person B to Person A, especially if you know Person B is going to immediately ask Person A to do unpaid emotional labour.


@StokesXandra Oh, I know. And if they ask, I always say yes. But it’s rude not to ask.


@imdominating Jesus. Glad you’re okay.


@johnallsopp Same. Same. Same.


Always amused when a story from The Australian is the top shared one on @nuzzel. At least it saves me from clicking on it… 😂 https://t.co/izMTI0MimM



Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
