    If HR can use AI to scan resumes and contact new people, can we use AI to apply for jobs? And, can our agents hash out the details and do the work?

    Well, it took couple of days, but my book shelf is now finished. I had to manually rewrite 115 files, two times. That’s what you get when you start building before writing down everything you want to do first. Anyway, check it out.

    Okay, starting to improve the list of books I’ve read for the last couple of years. First step, creating some structure. For the moment, I have a list of titles and authors. Creating a database for this seems like an overkill. I want a separate file for each book with meta data and notes.

    Continuing on owning my data, I started to look into POSSE.

    The idea is to publish everything here, so articles, notes and images, and then syndicate on social media applications.

    No, I won't let AI to do that for me. And no, I don't want to pay for it. So I guess I'll have to build a social media content publisher. Another idea to think about.

    I decided to take ownership of my data.

    To start, I took all of my journals, notes, articles and project files from various "management" applications and moved them to plain text files and folders on my iCloud. Not ideal, I know, but it's just a first step.

    Now I have to figure out what to do about email, invoices, time tracking, tasks management, calendar appointments, reminders and everything else that sits in someone else's data silo.
