Meetings, menu bars, and focus modes

Hunleyd, Mar 25, 2023, Osx Productivity Apps

We recently moved all our issue tracking at work from GitHub Issues to Linear for one of the products that I work on. While playing around with Linear, I stumbled upon their Reclaim.AI integration and immediately fell in love. I quickly set about connecting the two tools, tweaking my settings, and even opened some issues w/ the Support teams of both products. After about a week, I finally had everything up and running exactly how I wanted it. During our sprint planning meeting, I simply pulled whatever Linear issues I wanted to work on into the cycle, and then let Reclaim schedule my work based on priority and points. While I could probably write an entire blog post about these two apps, these tools are really just the ‘setting’ for this post. You see, now that I had all my work being scheduled for me by a AI, I found that I needed to have my calendar open at all times to see what I was supposed to be working on. I hate having apps open (or extra tabs in a browser) when I can have the info presented to me in some other fashion. Thankfully, I had previously discovered MeetingBar and was already a huge fan. So now I have MeetingBar running in my OSX menu bar showing me (via Reclaim) exactly what I’m supposed to be working on (or what I’m about to start working on). I was living the dream.

updated PostgreSQL homebrew script

Hunleyd, Oct 16, 2017, Postgresql Osx Howto

With the release of PostgreSQL 10, I’ve updated my pg script. You might recall from previous posts that this script is for Homebrew users that have tapped Peter’s brew recipes. It allows for installing and switching between multiple version of PostgreSQL seemlessly. While I was in there adding v10 support, I tweaked and tuned the code a bit and tidyied up the output significantly. I’m pretty pleased with the new version actually.
