I wrote Epiphany WorkFlow (Mac App Store) for my own use to help with the problem I have organizing and sustaining a well directed writing project. With ADHS, this is a big problem…

I've been programming for 52 years. I'm still programming and enjoying it. For me the key was focusing on the end product, not on the programming. Programming was just something th…

Sometimes the way a computer works is a useful model for thinking about your thoughts, but you don't actually think that way. If you believe that you actually do, it can be self-fu…

10 years ago I drove from Tucson to Iowa to buy a 42 year old Avion truck camper. I moved to a homeless camp in Tucson and rebuilt the camper. I regard living in a homeless camp a …

The early days in my post were the 1980s

One of the funniest things I ever saw was the SV Fry's Store back in the early days. It sold 3 things: electronics, junk food, and makeup. Its makeup section was huge. One can imag…

I recently read something that seemed almost nonsensical at first. "Action can precede motivation." In different words it means just start doing the task and the motivation to cont…

I've been programming for 52 years. I've learned a dozen or so languages and OSs. This career requires continued learning of new languages. Otherwise you are just a coder.

Consider Epiphany WorkFlow for the Mac. It's a workflow for writing an academic paper (among other things). I really don't fully understand what you are asking for. I hope Epiphany…

I sit on a narrow couch with a firm seat and back. I place the laptop in my lap. I'm 74, and it works for me. Incidentally Epiphany Workflow works with web sites as well as files.

I use Epiphany Workflow on a MacBook Pro. It's easy to extract notes and review both the notes and the source paper later.

Hard right perspectives were always just out of sight revealing themselves only rarely. Presumably, it's the old give it away until they are hooked, then take advantage.

This is a promising site, but I don't understand enough of the concepts involved in each description to make sense of what you are saying. Very frustrating.

Epiphany WorkFlow for the Mac is about collecting ideas, organizing ideas, and referring to ideas while writing. It won't help you WRITE, but it will reduce the laborious overhead …

I built 3 houses acting as my own general contractor. That's not what you are asking about, but I leaned some important things doing it. The most important was my estimate that the…

The pop ups make this article unreadable.

Perhaps Mr Putin has realized how vulnerable he is to such attacks. Russia is not one culture. It is many cultures with rivalries and histories of animosity. It may not be widely r…

After 50 years of agonizing over why I failed academically, I realized the problem was my "inability to organize and to sustain a directed effort". So I would tell myself: 1) to ex…

Few worthwhile efforts are successful on the first attempt.

I moved from the US to Mexico. I'm retired. I spend half my time in Mexico, then come to the US to visit family who are spread out over 3 states and then to take up a part-time sum…

I guess I must be some kind of misanthrope. HN is the only social medium I use. I don't really understand social media. I need to promote my side-project using social media. Can yo…

I'm mostly looking for forums devoted to non-coding issues like marketing, providing support, acquisition, etc.

I sell a Macintosh app for college students who want to improve their academic success. Epiphany Workflow is about easily collect ideas, organizing ideas, and referring to ideas wh…

In over 50 years of programming I have always read a new language manual in close association with designing then writing a program.

Prep a plan to save their asses when things blow up. Don't rub it in. Be a hero.
