Oh, interesting. @SDF just finished an other update and my timeline is back to being 2 days out of date but it does seem to have picked up a bunch of missing posts.I suspect this is a good sign; hopefully the backlog will clear soon.

@ParadeGrotesque I think sponging treats off your uncle (especially one who doesn't have kids of their own) is the traditional bonding activity of teenagers around the globe 😂

@ParadeGrotesque Well, there's also the fact I live in the wrong country for the job 😀 Could be worse. It could be MUMPS. And if someone was offering to pay me to learn Prolog I'd be actively interested...

@ParadeGrotesque I'm not a fan of business trips in general, I have to admit. Sometimes it is worth the overhead to meet the actual humans involved (for example I'm looking forward to meeting my remote team next week for the first time, some of whom I've been working with for years).But the bad sleep, enforced continuous socialization (you may have met people more introverted than me, but it's statistically unlikely), and travel inevitiably combine into something deeply tiring.

@ParadeGrotesque hardware is always fun like that. Of course, you can also get yourself into a lot of trouble on software projects if you decide that agile really means refusing to do your homework and procrastinating every decision until it's a crisis to "stay flexible".

Help please! I'm looking for an Android habit tracker/reminder with 2 properties:1. It doesn't use alarms, but notifications. I'm often in situations where having something sound continuously until I can turn it off isn't appropriate.2. It needs to carry on notifying me regularly (every 5-10 mins?) if I haven't marked the task as done yet.This brought to you be the need to remember to take #adhd meds at roughly the right time, but often not being able to take them at an _exact_ time....

If it doesn't exist, I'm just going to put it out there that this is something I'd be willing to pay an amount of actual money to have, and I'm sure I'm not alone 😁

@ParadeGrotesque thanks! Last time I tried Google Tasks they only notified once - I do need the repeated prods.I haven't come across Secuso, I'll have a look!

@ParadeGrotesque it exists, and looks interesting. It's also a clean enough piece of example Android code that if it doesn't do what I want I'll have to sternly remind myself that I don't need another project to contribute to right now... I'm trying to remove friction, not add more side projects!
