Quick Scrap Note

New app. The premise is simple:

I use Apple Notes as my main note writing apps.

While Apple Notes has Quick Note, every word that I put into Quick Note is automatically saved into Apple Notes. This piles up a lot of junks as I find myself jotting down 2-3 words such as a phone number, a serial number, performing quick calculation - scrap notes that I don't really care to store in Apple Notes.

This is the purpose of the app.


It is plain text only. No frills. It's quick to launch (set a global hotkey in Settings. I prefer to use ⌃ Space). With the hotkey it's fast to show the app window, typed something, and hide it.

Oh, I can choose to save it into Apple Notes (via shortcuts) and it's like a fast and simple front end to Apple Notes.

Keyboard Shortcuts

⌘ N create new Page
⌘ D delete Page

⌘ - smaller Font
⌘ = bigger Font

⌘ E clear the current page
⌘ S save into Apple Notes [via a Shortcut link, which is included in the Settings of the app).

⌘ , open Settings (or click the menu Scrap Note > Settings...)


You can do quick calculation by typing an equation followed by == (This is powered by SoulverCore, so you could do unit conversion too).

Oh, and it's Free to use. Enjoy!



For those who are adventurous, you can edit the shortcut to save into another app, for example, Obsidian. Please make sure to keep the same Shortcut Name: ScrapNoteToNotes
Here is an example of how the Shortcut looks:




P.S. if you would like to buy me a coffee ☕, I'd appreciate it very much. 
I only have this PayPal setup to receive funds, so here it is: PayPal.Me/belfong
I'd much prefer 5-star App Store review, if you could so oblige. Thanks ♥️♥️♥️

GoDaddy Discontinued Catch-All Email Forwarding

I had a few domains with GoDaddy. I started with GoDaddy and I stayed with them for a long time. Recently, I moved most of my domains to Cloudflare. Main reason was cost. Cloudflare hosting is very cheap -  I think they are not making any margin out of these domains. They are just transferring the cost the authorities charges direct to their customer without any markup. But I had one domain which I still maintained with GoDaddy because I love the one feature they have, which is mail forwarding and, more importantly, a catch-all email forwarding.  What is email forwarding? It means that any emails that were sent to the domain will be forwarded to another email. For example, if you send an email to [email protected], it will be forwarded to a secret iCloud email. That way, my real email address is hidden. What is catch-all email forwarding? Say you accidentally send an email to [email protected]. I still forward that to another email, for example, a throw away Gmail account. Whe...

One million daimoku

Image
In April 2008, Anne and I started our resolution to chant 1 million daimoku in one year. It's already Jan - and I am only one-third of the way. I really need to WORK HARDER - coz I made another 1 million resolution from Jan - Dec 2009. The chart you see on the right of this post is a chart that we put beside our butsudan. It tracked our chanting progress. Every 20 minute, we coloured one box. Mine is the one on top, Anne's at the bottom - you can see that she made much better progress than me! Hmmm.. come to think of it, I am not even at one third!! --- Edit 22 March 2009: Thanks to Google, a couple of friends in faith found this post and they want to know how many hours of chanting is required to achieve one million diamoku. Here it is. Based on our publication in Malaysia, 20 minutes of chanting is equivalent to 1,000 daimoku. So, one hour is 3,000 daimoku. 1 million would take about 333 hours. --- Edit 8 April 2018: Checking my blogger stats, this post is pretty hig...

Amazon Alexa in Malaysia - does it work well? A review...

Image
Feels like Christmas in September. Thanks to Doktor Cinta, my friend who live in Australia. Back in July, Amazon Australia had a Prime Day. I joined the trial using my usual Amazon account and ordered an Echo Dot, Echo Plus (the taller one with a built-in hub) and a Kindle Paperwhite, shipping them to a dear friend in Australia. My friend visited Malaysia and brought the Echos with him two weeks ago. You can imagine my thrill to get my hands on Alexa and start using it... in Malaysia. As a side story, sometimes, you can't believe how events are aligned properly to prepare my place to be a connected home - I bought a superb new mesh network router, eero (by the way, I'd say it's one of my best electronic purchases after an iPhone! It is that good), which acts as a strong WiFi backbone as it blanket my double storey house with a reliable and fast WiFi. Then, maxis launched Fibernation program which let me to upgrade my internet from 6 Mbps (pathetic) to 100 Mbps wit...
