@topgold.ie Here is another breakdown of a process I use with young people whose hands are unable to elegantly grip pencils and pens: insideview.ie/2026/10/25/i…

@topgold.ie That’s 1.5 second to OCR. I still use 5-10 seconds to review and sometimes tweak. Plus my Claude knows my writing and my research so it can fill in gaps.

@topgold.ie The fastest OCR is 1.5 seconds using my CZUR on desktop.

@williamleik.bsky.social Pen to paper notes takes me around 45 minutes to handwrite a page. I often snap with Text Scanner and I never spend more than a minute correcting the OCR result on each page. Then I talk to Claude to give it more context. Within 30 seconds, I have 300 words to post or save.

@sm2n.bsky.social I wonder if teletype is used for space flights or military command and control nowadays. Both part of my 80s workplaces.

@sm2n.bsky.social I’m entertained when Claude politely tells me I asked for the wrong thing like

@topgold.ie And it also offsets my November #DO attendance 🤗

@markreckons.bsky.social The Sound of Music, March 1965, first seven cinema tickets bought by my dad for the family in Lancaster PA.

@sm2n.bsky.social Some of your Boos are brilliant therapy sessions for AI newbies.

@manton.org You’re getting better service than we had on the SW Chief

@mrdavidwhitley.bsky.social Having a sign you can point to is very important.

@sm2n.bsky.social Trying to educate my 15yo how to care for easy-to-misplace expensive earbuds has become a lesson in patience for me.

@soulcruzer.bsky.social So you argue with yourself over spoons? Asks the man who brings his own in his sling sack.

@soulcruzer.bsky.social As I read I wondered if you had encountered on of @sm2n.bsky.social’s imaginary friends.

@sm2n.bsky.social You contexualise your posts so well. Better than me getting simply a random @topgold tag on the bottom of something remotely relevant

@sm2n.bsky.social Thanks for sharing yours.

@topgold.ie And here is a screenshot that will forever burn in my personal history because of the precursors of the sleep stress.

@sm2n.bsky.social I pulled to the kerb of the Old Dublin Airport Road to watch landings while the dedication played. Have you heard the flying video on my account? youtu.be/2vsDjVwXuG4?…

@topgold.ie And when Mark reads the name of the publisher, I realise my American ears always called the publisher a hatchet not as most Europeans pronounce Hachette.

@topgold.ie Today’s Throwback shows me several activities I should be doing to improve life. Like walking along ivy walls and playing handball. And journaling moments of banality.

@ronentk.me If Google has your Drive and Gmail and Chrome History it can tell you what you missed if you ask Gemini.

@topgold.ie Hmm. I don’t use speech tosntxt with Obsidian. I was using speech to txt with Gemini for most ofnthe day. Thought I closed Gemini more than an hour ago.

@manton.org One reason I use @inoreader.com is because its easy listening option to most of my OPML subs.

@loreandordure.com I make Apple Cake. Occasionally with cranberries too.

@topgold.ie I still use AI while shopping. Handy: “Can Aldi match this price?”
