Notes

Note to Google: I, the owner of this blog called “MXGNS”, am not an artist and music producer. I am a UK-based guy who blogs. More than one person can have the same name. Plus, as far as I know, I used the name MXGNS before they did.

Notion — The AI workspace that works for you

Miro — AI Innovation Workspace

Slack — AI Work Platform & Productivity Tools

Why does it feel as if every single company has lost track of why we use their products in the first place?

🤮

My biggest frustration with how AI is eating the world is perhaps the hijacking of the sparkle emoji.

✨ used to mean a bit of sparkle. Now it means literally the opposite.

My holiday is over and it’s time to get back to work! 💪🏻

When you’ve finished work for the week, but it’s so hot outside that you stay in the office eating ice cream instead of heading out ☀️🥵

Our next flat is progressing very slowly, but today has an important gate to pass, so fingers crossed 🤞

The fact that we have 24 moving boxes we haven’t unpacked yet suggests that even in the tiny flat we had before, we had a lot more stuff than necessary!

Saturday night means pick & mix sweets 😋

On the radio, they said the best part of a world cup is just before a single ball has been kicked and anything is still possible. Hopefully including Belgium winning, as I got them in the office sweepstake!

It’s amusing/annoying how the Apple devices at home respond whenever anyone says “Hey Siri” in the video stream during the WWDC keynote.

Aside from that, I’d say it was a bit of a yawn this year 😴

I just realised I’ve moved to a different hemisphere! I’ve gone all the way from 0.054° W to 0.001° E, about 60 metres across the Prime Meridian!

I’d forgotten quite how old old-style banks are. A standing order can’t go out on the weekend? Does a clerk need to print it out, take it to the accounts department, and hand it to another clerk? 🤨

Why are the doors inside UK flats self-closing, so you need to bend down and remove a doorstop whenever you actually want to close the door? 🤔

Note to self: Remember to go to the new flat, not the old one, after work tonight.
