Quite simply, I have Google Calendar set to send me e-mail notifications, and some of them are being outright bounced by Gmail, which then, ironically, has Google's Mailer-Daemon e-mail me about the bounced message,…

I'm worked for 20 years in legal admin. But during my life I've accumulated a lot of computer and Office expertise (Windows, Mac, bash, zsh, etc.), and usually can grok the ins and outs of new software pretty quickly.…

I literally don't know where to report it. I tend to push customization features to their extreme ... I broke Ticketmaster by adding too many bands to their 'monitoring' feature, and had to get a CSR to clear them out.…

What is the least painful and time-consuming way to initially create Twitter lists (and later to edit/maintain same)? The existing Twitter-native interface to initially start/create is a time-consuming nightmare created…

I periodically download automatic transcriptions off the captioning of YouTube videos. They come in as one large block of lowercase, unpunctuated text. Is there any scripting rules, AI, or other tricks that can parse…

I'd like to have a Unix script that basically generates a text file named, with the page title, with the article text neatly formatted. This seems to me to be something that would be so commonly desired by people that…

People swear by Trello and Kanban-style project management seems to be preferred. In the Heinlein sense of the word, I don't seem to "grok" Kanban, so I think I must be missing something. I'm not sure how columns of…

I've been trying to think about what metaphor would work best for me for personal improvement and to-do work, and it occurred to me that it might be beneficial to use the 'bug report' metaphor. I doubt the idea is…

I'm trying to convey that text files are probably the most future-proof, and would like to say something like "computers as far back as XXXX used the same text files we use today." Unfortunately, I can't seem to come up…

I'm seeking recommendations for an iOS Hacker News client that doesn't rely on the iOS share sheet for saving to various services, and that has Pinboard integration. Ideally, I'd like to be able to make the distinction…

For productivity and personal purposes, I'm seeking to add Facebook to the LeechBlock extension, but this has the unfortunate effect of killing any site I'd access via Facebook Connect. Does anyone have a list of the…

I have a need for something I’d describe as “dependent calendaring.” There are certain things that I’d like to calendar but have dependent on each other, so that if I move one date forward it moves the range of…

Go to Google Calendar's create an appointment screen: https://www.google.com/calendar/render?pli=1 In the date field, type "1/1/13". Does it change this to "1/13/2001" for you? Does it change "2/8/13" to "2/13/2008" for…

I hope this isn't a question out of place here. If so, my apologies in advance. Is there an equivalent of /dev/null for e-mail addresses -- an address where, when you send it there, you can be assured that it goes into…
