My goal for today is to go through my 140 open tabs.

Usually my cat is sleeping while I work, but she is very much up and active like she knows today is her birthday... but I also have to work at the same time. 🙃

Despite having a quiet New Years and going straight to bed, I only managed an hour of sleep 😭 Foggy as shit indeed.

The alternative in Dia, WHICH SHOULD RELIABLY WORK BUT DOESN'T, was to use the AI chat and tell it to give me all the tab URLs or a more specific request, because oftentimes it kept interpreting that I didn't want the tab URLs but all the URLs found in each tab's webpage 😡

But in Dia, I would have to save them all as bookmarks and then navigate to my bookmarks window and reselect all those tabs again which then I'd have an option to copy the links.

A really huge pain point I had multiple times with Dia was trying to copy specific tabs and get all the links. This is a built-in feature in Arc. When you highlight/select a bunch of tabs and right-click on them, you can see a "copy links" button.

I know the Dia browser is supposed to get the old features it had from Arc, but I'm pretty confident it will actually get all those cool features Arc had.

CLAUDE.md symlinked to AGENTS.md but also in a Github repo

Wow. I didn't know you could commit symlinks to a Github repo. I didn't test it on a different computer, but looks like the relationship is preserved when you symlink files locally.

I'm not close to the Outer Banks in NC so I'm not affected or close to being affected at all this time around.

I'm so disconnected from news and weather reports that I often learn there's a storm or hurricane happening from messages from family and friends in other states asking if I'm okay.

Github needs the ability to collapse comments. I have a few long ones from code review bots and the outdated ones still show which makes me scroll to find the actual current one.

Github menu when you click on your profile picture in the top right. There are three main sections and in the first are nine menu items prefixed with "Your" like "Your profile", "Your repositories", "Your Copilot", and so on. Similar for the third section with the repeated "Github" prefix

The repeated "Your" in each menu item is bothering me this morning. Would be a cool cleanup opportunity with a little UX/UI magic @github.com

I had a funny moment with Claude Code while it was updating all the documentation with a new Git workflow for pushing changes to remote. It ended up using the normal method instead of the one it documented. 🙃

Yup. I “hacked” my desk/bike setup so it’s behind my couch with a perfect view of the TV so when I’m not working I still can bike and just watch TV since I’m usually a couch potato. The only problem is that my desk is giving me an error code that I haven’t fixed yet and can’t lower at the moment😅

In my opinion, it works better if you don’t have to keep pulling your walking pad out and putting it away and have a dedicated desk for it, but that’s not reasonable for a lot of people.

Husky 46 in. W x 24 in. D Adjustable Height Black Workbench Table with Solid Wood Top HOLT46XDB12 - The Home Depot Add a fantastic appeal to your living space by selecting this amazing Husky Adjustable Height Work Table. Easy to handle.

Also for those that want a cheaper standing desk… this one is a manual standing desk. That metal bar at the bottom can be taken off and is still very stable so you can slide a treadmill or desk. Manual crank is great if you don’t switch between sit/stand that much. www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-46-i...

The key is to buy a “recumbent” bike because they have larger seats versus the ones you might use with Peleton classes with tiny seats to encourage you to exercise harder.

I am doing a recumbent bike desk setup where I took the front piece off a Nordic Track bike and put it under a standing desk. I haven’t been able to test it fully because my standing desk is giving me an error code and I can’t lower it at the moment.

I have a walking treadmill and I loved it! It’s a bulky one though and was annoying to navigate in my apartment due to surrounding items so I put it away.

Cloudy days > cloudy rainy days > sunny days

I am debating if I like cloudy rainy days better, but now that I drive I rather the road not be wet.

I'm not sure how limited the API is, but imagine triggering Claude commands on the go! Since there is no auditory feedback + I'm sure you'll need to clean up the transcription when referencing code, it probably won't be that great, but still!

Ended up putting in an order. I can't communicate how much I wanted an AI notetaker tool that has a developer API. Thanks for sharing!

I won't get mine until September though :(

so many tabs. help

‘Liquid Glass’ text, but the play button obscures the text so it actually reads ‘Liquid ass’.

Unfortunate thumbnail / play button combo

I read that import in a Yoda voice.

Has anyone noticed that the Republican discourse about North Carolina’s storm recovery vanished after the election? Nothing. Not a peep from them.

Probably because they don’t want you to know THEY LITERALLY DENIED FUNDING FOR NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK!

Crazy how that works!

Honestly, me too.

But I’m still in POC territory so 😬

I’ve been holding off on applications unless it’s absolutely a company I’m interested in and haven’t been actively searching, but that might change shortly.

A part of me is hoping that one of my side projects (that I am actively working on) will start to take form so I can work on that full-time.
