Why do you ask? Are you looking to pull a job?
...can I get in on it?

Congratulations Apple, you just invented BlackBerry.

I still have a launch-edition PS3 on firmware 1.01 that I got on launch day (wife and I were fortunate enough to be able to buy two and stash one). I've lost all kinds of stuff in moves and etc. since, but that thing will have to be pried from my cold dead hands.

It's a colloid.
halfsquatch | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: When coding, how to do remember what you were doing the previous day?
I use Windows. I support Windows at work. I don't code. But I need to pick up one day where I left off the previous day like anybody else. My solution works on Windows, but should be easily portable to any other platform.
I have a batch file called remember.bat, stored in my %PATH% so I can call it from anywhere (I usually use the start menu run box). It simply ECHOes the time, date, and any command line arguments to a text file. Like this:
(First post. Sorry if the formatting breaks.) (edit: yeah, formatting broke.)
time /t >> %userprofile%\documents\notes.txt
date /t >> %userprofile%\documents\notes.txt
echo %* >> %userprofile%\documents\notes.txt
echo. >> %userprofile%\documents\notes.txt
exit
I also have a log viewer application called CMTrace.exe (from Windows SCCM) in my startup folder, pointing at that notes.txt file.
So when I log in to my computer, CMTrace tails the notes file, highlighting a bunch of key words in different colors to make severity more obvious.
When I need to add something to the list, I just start\run, type "remember whatever I need to remember" (without quotes) and the file is appended with:
06:47 AM Thu 01/14/2021 whatever I need to remember
If you want to view it live, you can use anything that can tail a file instead of CMTrace if you don't have access to it. Otherwise it's available to refer to anytime with your text viewer of choice.
If I need to remove something from the notes, I can open it in Notepad++ or whatever and save it, but I find myself leaving everything there for future reference.
I realize the post starts with "When coding", but I imagine this could work there, and I know it works elsewhere, so I figured I'd share anyway.

That didn't take long.
