Notes From The Cave

Dave is giving the Republicans way too much credit. Kavanaugh most likely will withdraw himself as candidate at the urging of the Republicans or Trump. They have plenty of alternatives who will enable their agenda equally well.

Or, they could go through the process to make it all look nice and approve him anyway.

I’ve installed the new Shortcuts app and so far see some good and some not so good.

Good: I created a Siri Shortcut that turns on Do Not Disturb until a time I specify and the launches the Kindle app.

Not so good: I’ve created a Siri Shortcut for a share extension workflow I have that shares the current web page in Safari as a link formatted in markdown. What I want to do is open a page in Safari, evoke Siri and say “share this page” however once Siri starts Safari is not accessible so the web page and URL cannot be obtained.

Basically, I was hoping Siri Shortcuts would understand the context of what is on screen, but it cannot because once you launch Siri she has focus. As far as I can tell, you have to use the share extension to do what I am trying to do.

Siri Shortcuts is apparently available in the App Store but not yet for me. Still waiting.

Essential apps that work with Google Fit I am looking for a simple way to log the time I went to bed and got up, and I don’t see a way to do that in Google Fit.

Boethius:

Nothing is miserable unless you think it so; and on the other hand, nothing brings happiness unless you are content with it.
