This plugin is no longer maintained, but if it still works, then it will direct you to the normal Wordpress login page.

As this guide is more than a decade old, I would suggest only using this as inspiration or starting points, since a lot of things have probably changed. Good luck!

Just normal emoji. You can use the emoji keyboard on an iOS device, or just copy/paste from here: https://getemoji.com

Cloudflare will cache html if you have a page rule that states "cache everything".

Re: Using Fail2ban with Nginx and UFW

According to the fail2ban docs, you can have multiple IPs for ignoreip if you want, e.g.:

ignoreip = 127.0.0.1/8 172.17.0.1/16 192.168.0.1/24

I have simplified a few minor things since this article, but it really doesn't take that much time. The weekly review is done in 1 to 2 hours per week, depending on what I go through. That's about it! The benefits of using GTD and having a system that you use and trust makes all the difference.

I am, but had to deprioritize all my writing for Q1 this year. It will be written though, and I'm looking forward to doing it!

Thank you!

I don't work out of the Today perspective (any more), but instead only use it to find make sure that nothing urgent slips through the cracks. I work from the normal context perspective during the day. It's sorted by "due and flagged", so the urgent actions are on top.

Re: Benefits of Keeping an Evening Journal

Thanks! I have started using my monthly review to look back on the entries for the previous month. I find that a month is enough time for patterns to emerge, but won't take that long to read through either.

Re: OmniFocus Workflow Q&A

Johnny Chadda — Wed, 30 Nov 2016 02:47:10 -0000

The total number of projects according to the settings page in OmniFocus for iOS is around 250, and 2500 actions. However, only a small subset are active projects, while others are in someday/maybe lists, checklists or containing other types of information. Not counting single-action lists, I have around 25 active projects at the moment. I try to minimize the current work in progress when ever possible, by planning ahead and not over-committing, which can be quite difficult at times.

It's funny how the numbers ended up being so linear.

Re: OmniFocus Workflow Q&A

Johnny Chadda — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 03:39:13 -0000

I do something similar, but I have split the single action list into two. One for my personal stuff and one for my work. I think that narrows the single-action list down enough for my needs.

I would however probably not have "clean cat's box" in there, since it's something I want do to on a schedule. That would instead end up in my repeating chores project.

Re: OmniFocus Workflow Q&A

Johnny Chadda — Sun, 27 Nov 2016 12:46:00 -0000

I'm going to write a post about these kind of things shortly, but what do you mean specifically? Repeating chores, or single actions in general?

Re: OmniFocus Workflow Q&A

Johnny Chadda — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 01:48:05 -0000

Thanks! Yes, it's a folder nested under my Someday folder, where I started to keep projects which are planned but not scheduled.

Re: The 2016 OmniFocus Setup and Workflow

Johnny Chadda — Fri, 07 Oct 2016 03:50:29 -0000

You should start by reading the Getting Things Done book if you haven't, and then assign a proper context to the actions and work off an appropriate context when you are doing things.

If there are way too many actions in your contexts, you may want to think about splitting up contexts in ways that make sense in your life, but you may just have too many concurrent commitments, so maybe set a few projects on hold during the weekly review and activate them in future weekly reviews.

Re: Using Ulysses as my writing platform

Johnny Chadda — Mon, 08 Aug 2016 14:27:25 -0000

Thanks! In Ulysses, there are two ways of browsing revisions. The first is the "backups browser", which in essence is a complete snapshot of everything, taken at certain intervals during the day.

The second way is to browse the history of an individual sheet, which is presented in a TimeMachine fashion. While you can't see the raw diffs between versions, it's quite easy to browse in history to find what you are looking for.

Thanks, I'm actually using Airmail and saw that recent update with the reply reminders feature. :) I'm planning to write a follow-up post after I have used the feature for a while!

Thank you! Have a look at my post on Inside OmniFocus for setting up the perspective:

I will go into detail with this in future posts. :)

Re: The 2016 OmniFocus Setup and Workflow

Johnny Chadda — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 07:01:15 -0000

Thank you!

I have a folder called "Horizons" which works in the same way as my Someday folder, and within, I have projects for the 50k, 40k, and 30k horizons. I have the review interval set to every one month, but it's mostly for being reminded of the things within. I usually reflect and update these once a year, during Chrismas/New Year.

Thanks for finding the error! I'll update shortly.

Re: Using Fail2ban with Nginx and UFW

Johnny Chadda — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 03:43:01 -0000

After you have first enabled ufw, it will automatically apply any changes to rules immediately so there should not be any need to reload anything manually. (if it's not a recent change that I haven't seen yet)

Re: Install Windows 10 on a Mac

Johnny Chadda — Sun, 02 Aug 2015 04:28:14 -0000

You could try using the ones I linked to above. They still contain the msi files. Note that it's not the main setup.exe file that should be altered, but the one in the bootcamp folder.

Re: Sync your Lightroom catalog using Dropbox

Johnny Chadda — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 03:25:26 -0000

Hey, I'm glad you found this guide useful!

Yes, folders which are not currently connected show up as question marks. If you connect your NAS, the question mark will be removed from folders, and Lightroom will start using the originals instead of the smart previews.

Re: Sync your Lightroom catalog using Dropbox

Johnny Chadda — Mon, 20 Apr 2015 04:18:02 -0000

Yes, you would still need to follow the same procedure regardless of where the images are store, I'm afraid. If you don't move and link the prefs folder, they will differ between different macs, and you will definitely have issues if you don't use the same paths/usernames on all macs.

Re: A modern approach to contexts and perspectives in OmniFocus

Johnny Chadda — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 18:39:15 -0000

Good luck! Would be fun to read about the results somewhere when you have used them for a while.

Re: Limit Time Machine disk usage on external drives

Johnny Chadda — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 03:56:46 -0000

If I recall correctly, all backup sets have hard linked files. This means that files which are unchanged between different sets will only occupy the physical disk space once, but look like a copy of the file. As long as at least on "file pointer" remains to the physical file, it will still be accessible on the disk.

This is why each backup set contains the "full" backup, but doesn't really take any extra space on the disk, except for the files that have actually changed. This also means that it *should* be safe to delete the oldest backups if you need the space.

You can read more about hard links here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
