I thought keeping a timesheet tracking 30 second intervals was ridiculous until I discovered how much more productive I have become. It’s amazing. I think I’m so focussed that I’m finding that I have completed tasks that I can’t even remember doing.
I’ve spoken to the others on the team and nobody else was asked to keep a timesheet. But the instructions sent to me were quite clear. I won’t be the one on the firing line come the next restructure. Bring it on!
I’ve always loved stories of time travel. Doctor Who, Bill and Ted, Marty McFly. They were my heroes. Imagine having a time machine and travelling back to see the dinosaurs or forwards to a shiny future!
That was the dream. The truth is a lot less fun.
“Unless you sign up for this, you’re out the door.”
Yeah, I’ve got a mortgage and a kid on the way. I can’t afford that.
“We need this yesterday!”
That’s what they always say, but there are only so many hours in a day.
There used to be only so many hours in a day.
Turns out that management go hold of the time machine and thought of a way to squeeze more productivity out of workers. Send us back in time now so we can put twice the effort into our work before.
“Never, ever, meet yourself.”
I knew that rule from the stories. But how to do it?
The timesheet. When you’re sleeping, I’m there. When you are off at lunch, I’m there. When you are pissing in the bathroom, I’m there. I’m there at your desk doing your work.
Who gave you the instructions to use a timesheet?
That was me.
I am you and you are me. You just don’t know it yet.
Having some of the vivaldi features (calendar/mail/RSS and notes) as separate, installable programs and apps, with sync and all of that, would be a great idea
Especially notes would be great to have on mobile, where many people (cough @thelinuxcast cough) have a hard time finding a decent note-taking software with good sync
Could also make it easier for you to make more parts open source
If you made mail/RSS/calendar available standalone, it could honestly rival thunderbird
(Which is cool for such a young feature)
It could make it slightly easier to migrate, and could make it easier to introduce people to vivaldi, without making it necessary for people to switch browsers if they "don't like change" (even though it's easy to make vivaldi look "just like chrome")
Of course I don't think you should remove those features from the browser itself (no one wants what happened to Firefox/thunderbird to happen to vivaldi)
@devontechnologies You can kinda do it with a Mac mini and a MacBook Air, but the control only wants to go one way (mini can control MBA, not other way around).
I want to be able to jack any iPad I don't own (friend's, wife's) and just use it as an external screen. Don't need access to its system. Just wanna use it as a second monitor. That would be cool. I don't think iPadOS would allow it, though.
If you've been thinking of switching browsers or contemplating whether you should set the Vivaldi browser as default, find out what @xdadevelopers has to say about what makes our browser stand out in the crowd. 👇🏻
@Vivaldi@xdadevelopers I still need to try out Arc, but it seems big on sidebars. And I do not like sidebars.
Except for Opera, the others are still installed on my old laptop.
I like trying out different browsers, and currently I'm using Floorp :)
@Vivaldi@xdadevelopers I've tried to go to XDA, but I'm annoyed by their "Please disable ad blocking" full web page notice.
I'm surprised that a browser like yours would recommend a place that requires intrusive advertisements to work, knowing how much you guys hate intrusive adverts.
