You're talking about WURFL and Luca Passani. I recall working with it for a project 15 years ago.

All of that would be great if it was actually available to me in the smaller country/market I live in, which is less of a priority for Google. I still paid for them as part of the phone.

I use Obsidian as a journal but I have year-long notes. Each day is a H2 heading and each task/note is an H3 heading, with structured tags for each task/note in the same line. This way I can quickly scroll through my recent notes. Splitting them into years (7 of them already) keeps the size somewhat contained - I would happily have 1 large file if Obsidian and all the plugins I use was more efficient about scrolling through it.

To quickly navigate them I have the plugin Quiet Outline open on the right tab. To focus me I also have a single very short file called Current Priority Work open in a top left tab in Reading View with links to the currently important H3 headings.

New tasks automatically get a "#todo" tag. Currently worked-on tasks get a "#doing" tag. I also use priorities ("#priority/low") and search as such `line:(#priority/high #todo)`.

I also use more tags such as "#client/XYZ", "#systems/ABC". They help a lot to find related notes on various topics.

I used to have a separate file called "doing" that used DataviewJS to create links of all the "#doing"-tagged H3 lines but "Current Priority Work" is better for me.

It's down to supply and demand. You get a license from local govenrment, buy some nice furniture, hire some young people, and set up shop offering a nice looking product of beach access with food, drinks, service at your umbrella, for 75 euro. More if you want front row beach access. You do leave the required free space for the public to put down their own umbrella (or not!). If you're the only shop on that particular beach, and it's a nice beach, people will come, and to enough of them your product will look "sexier" than the public beach area. By paying for it, they solve a need of theirs (beach fun) and can also brag about paying for it on social media.

Came here to say just this - it's probably the first extension I install everywhere and significantly improves usability and control.

For Firefox it's this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/scroll_anywhe...

Low contraxt text tires me. I tend to toggle Reader Mode in my browser or simply click on this bookmarklet (a bookmarked link with the below in the URL field) that changes all fonts to "Open Sans" or "Lucinda Grande". I can't remember where I found it but it's been one of the first things I add in a new desktop browser.

It must be urlencoded for bookmarklets to work.

I'm also writing out the above in plaintext for reading through:

  javascript:  WebFontConfig = {
      google: { families: [ 'Open+Sans::latin,greek-ext' ] }
    };
    (function() {
      var wf = document.createElement('script');
      wf.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http') +
        '://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/webfont/1/webfont.js';
      wf.type = 'text/javascript';
      wf.async = 'true';
      document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(wf); 
   var newSS, styles='*,html,body { font-family: Open Sans, Lucida Grande,sans-serif ! important;}'; 
   if(document.createStyleSheet) { 
    document.createStyleSheet("javascript:'"+styles+"'"); 
   } 
   else { 
    newSS=document.createElement('link'); 
    newSS.rel='stylesheet'; 
    newSS.href='data:text/css,'+escape(styles); 
    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(newSS); 
   }  
    })();;*

Oh wow I had forgotten about your wallpapers... I loved the blue earth with tiny airplanes so much that I became a paid member back in...2009. And my account still works! Kudos.

Nowadays my monitors are always full of full screen windows so I never get to see the wallpaper.

I do something similar with the old Gmail for Domains product (or whatever it was called before Workspace) - it lets me add real mailboxes but also have a catch-all, where everything else gets delivered to a specific address.

I know this is not available any more so I've done the same with Cloudflare Email Routing which lets you set up a catch-all and is (still) free.
