ChatGPT and Chronic Task Switching
I honestly don’t know if ChatGPT is the ultimate tool for me, or if it’s just feeding my madness.

ChatGPT teaches me Android
I’m the kind of idiot who spends six months writing my own framework in Java on Android, because I’m too stupid / lazy / impatient to read and grok the documentation and learn what’s already there. ChatGPT (3.5!) taught me more in a 15 minute chat last night than I’d been able to figure out …

A Test of Mind Traffic Control
Today I managed to screw up my todo.txt file that I use with Mind Traffic Control. I had to recreate it from some backups that weren’t quite as up-to-date as I needed them to be. And I got a lot of duplication in the file. And obviously items that had been done are now back …
