One thing that made my latest holiday/vacay more stressful was the endless pre-booking emails.

Pre-book food! Pre-book activities! Book early arrival! Book extra treats! Check out the latest! You're coming soon! We're excited to see you! Are you excited? Let me upsell you! Don't leave anything until you're actually here, it'll all be booked up! Stress out now, relax later!

FUCK THE FUCK OFF

Centerparcs and a Legoland Windsor hotel booking, in this case.

Exhausting.

@sarajw How was your stay? You saved 1000 miles on your next stay. Come back soon! We’re converting your miles into world coins. Book 12 nights and get a free lunch voucher. We opened a new venue, be the first to book and get complimentary toothpicks!
(on and on and on…)

Up there in my top productivity killers is my Magic Trackpad in need of a charge.

@bardi @andycarolan At least the magic trackpad can be used while charging.

@bardi @andycarolan Yes, it’s also the fastest way to pair it with any mac. Plug the cable, click the surface… paired. I use this frequently between different macs.

@andycarolan @bardi Just tested to be sure, yes the trackpad works immediately on the iPad, even with BT disabled (so it’s using the wired connection). Can’t tell for sure if it’s charging at that point, as it’s not listed in the BT list, but it does work.

@andycarolan @bardi This is also a life saver, magnetic cable with plugs in all your accessories.

Surprised to see so many people (still) using DDG & bing. I don’t think I can go back from using Kagi anytime soon.

One of these things I would like to tell to fuck right off, but I don't get given that option. And it's not the laundry.

@sarajw Would it go away if you click on Try Now, so that it is satisfied?
