Voltando ao omg.lol. Será que ele pode substituir o micro.blog com microposts e artigos (com título)?

Watching to "Who is Erin Carter?".

Watching to "Young Royals".

Watching to "The Defeated".

Watching to "Ginny & Georgia".

Just completed the installation of MacOS Monterey on a MacBook White 2009 (4Gb RAM, 128Gb SSD) using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Performed a clean install. Everything seems to be working fine (will test bluetooth later).

Watching to "Uysallar".

Watching to "The Watcher".

Watching to .

Watching to "Love 101".

Watching to "Mia Culpa".

Watching to "Behind her eyes".

Watching to "Anatomy of a Scandal".

You're talking about Succession. I am watching to Downton Abbey... will start Season 3 tomorrow.

Trying for the nth time this year. I love the concept but why can´t I stick to it?

Watching to Shahmaran

Watching to Who were we running from?

Recommend: Sweet Tooth:

Brazil is in turmoil today with the imminent arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro. Like Al Capone, he will be arrested not for all the crimes he committed, but for a more prosaic reason (fraud in his COVID19 vaccination registration); he did not get vaccinated and issued fake certificates to be able to travel to the United States.

Watching to Sweet Tooth. It's crazy, isn't It?

Watching to The Empress on Netflix.

Baking a chocolate cake 😋

Todoist has 15 theme colors but it's impossible for me to choose one and use it for a longe time. All of them but gray are too bright and hurt my eyes; but gray is boring. I wish I could set a custom pale color.

Telegram was shut down in Brazil after repeatedly refusing to provide information to the Brazilian justice system. Twitter is following the same path. And CNN released two fake stories this week aimed at destabilizing the government and must answer for this.

Words that I'm avoiding: Subscribe, Upgrade, Pro, Plus, Buy, Premium, Blue, Trial, Gold.

The president of Brazil is in China and met Xi Jinping today. More than 30 commercial deals were signed meaning more than US$50B in new Chinese investments in Brazil. They also discussed not using US dollars as a common currency anymore. I am not a Lula fan, but I do deserve him respect as a pragmatic leader looking for what's better for our country.

Enough is enough. 3 medical emergencies in my family in a week is not good (father + brother + mother-in-law).

Just returned from the barber shop. Feeling much better. A hair cut was needed!

Update complete. Also updated Stream Deck software.

Updating MacBook to Monterey 12.6.4

Did you know that the former President of Brazil (Jair Bolsonaro) is a thief of expensive jewelry and watches? Today's news in Brazil is that he took possession of a Rolex made with white gold and diamonds, which should belong to the country's assets. We also learned today that he hides these stolen goods on a farm owned by the three-time Formula 1 champion - Nelson Piquet.

Watching to Billie Eilish on TV. Live from Lollapalooza Brasil.

Thinking about buying another domain. Are .me or .one good choices for personal use?

Am I starting a collection of mechanical pencils? Yes, I am.

Saturday night - homemade pizza and Titanic on TV.

Browsing .

Purchased the tickets for ABBA The Show ! April, 23rd in São Paulo.

Reading HP12C User Guide.

It´s raining again. []

Working. Thanks Lord for all the nice customers.

Testing Twos [}. Don´t know if it does not fit how I think but it seems a mess to me. May take time to get used to it .

Decided to outsource a big order today. It would take too much time and effort to do it by myself.

it is not surprising to learn that the former president, who fled Brazil in 2022, is also a jewel thief and smuggler.

Researching to purchase a new domain. A definitive one this time.

3 printers working at same time = $$$. But I get crazy with the noise.

Opthalmologist is 1 hour late... Why do medical doctors are never, never, on time???

Theater night at FAAP University - São Paulo.

No need for too many filters on Todoist. I manage my life with only 2: This Week and Next Week. Not using Today and Upcoming views anymore.

I am 100% sure I created an entry on Day One this morning; don't remember if it was on Macbook or on Android smartphone. Now I am lying on my bed, using the tablet, and that entry is not here. Day One syncing sucks.

Started to work with automatically hidden dock on my Mac, at the bottom of the screen. It was fixed on the right side but I almost always clicked on it when using the scroll bar.
I'm enjoying the apps using 100% of the 24" screen.

Thinking about purchasing an omg.lol address for my business. Comments from those using omg.lol for business are welcome.

Why do call center systems think we are machines as well? Called my health insurance today and I was asked to take note of the protocol number: 00571120230303006154 Why don´t they simply use our ID & date as the key to access our history of incidents?

Watching to a documentary about the greatest Brazilian singer and songwriter Belchior, now in heaven. We need more people like him.

Feeling bad today. All Covid symptoms. Again.

Yesterday we went to my daughter's graduation party. Left home 9PM and returned today 7AM. Tried to sleep during the day but did not succeed. Feeling tired and with a headache.

Shower rain now. Impossible to leave home to the gym.

Pensando em pedir empanadas argentinas para o jantar hoje.

Homemade pizza tonight. Tuna fish and Marguerita!

Watching to Farenheit 451. Book is much better.

Committed to a full year of journaling with Day One. Let's see how I perform.

In 2022, Elon Musk came to Brazil; no one knew why at the time. Today we know: he came to negotiate - with the current government - to release his internet system via satellite. And do you know who is using this system? Gold buyers and illegal miners who destroy the Amazon and kill indigenous people. No one else.

Jantando no Point do Gordão!

I really need a faster smartphone. An old iPhone 6S I've found in a drawer is faster than my Samsung A30, but is limited to iOS 15. Just bought a new iPhone to my daughter, can't afford another one right now.

Baking a chocolate cake 😘

My daughter was planning to go to a party tonight. I had to say no. It's raining, the streets in the center of São Paulo are closed to cars due to carnival events and I'd have to pick her up at 4AM in a place that is not safe. She is frustrated, of course, but it's better for her to stay home this night.

What are we doing on social.lol, statuslog, micro.blog: Microblogging or MicroJournaling ?

Friday tip: install Google Opinion Rewards and win Play Store credits just by answering to quick researches.

It´s Friday. Finally! But my daughter wants to go to a party tomorrow night - in the central area of São Paulo. Oh Lord.

Ok. Statuslog flows OK to Day One and is saved in the journal I selected.

Test post just to check if it flows to Day One via IFTTT.

Cancelling some subscriptions today and blocking the auto renewal for others.

Go to the gym?

or

Don´t go to the gym?

Burger and wine 🍷 tonight.

A new week ahead; next weekend is carnival in Brazil. Working on two orders from last week and waiting anxiously for new ones.

Seriously considering paying for HBO Max. Seems that I am the only person on earth not watching to The Last of Us.

A plea: that all users have a link to their profle pages on their statuslog bio. I frequently see interesting statuses, go to the user bio looking for additional information (I may want to follow the user on social.lol) and is frustrating when there is nothing there.

My wife gifted me a new pair of Persol sunglasses today, really beautiful! Now I need to replace the lenses for prescription ones.

Really tired after gym today. Legs training only. Now it's beer 🍺 time.

My eyes are horrible today. I can hardly read anything . It happens sometimes after Covid.

Day One: < USD5/month, < 5 minutes to understand how it works. Starting the 30 days Premium trial period today.

Testing Day One, for the nth time, after learning here that there is now a web app (beta). But why am I doing this, again, if I have already purchased Diarium? Is it just because Day One brand / everyone uses It?

Ordered some "empanadas" for dinner. I do miss Buenos Aires 🇦🇷. Hope to return there soon.

Today I´ll have my first "cavaquinho" class; for 3 years before the pandemics I took ukulele classes, but now I´ve decided to try an instrument more associated to Brazilian music. Cavaquinho is a 4 string instrument, looks like an ukulele, but uses steel strings and a different tuning, high pitched.

@adam you are amazing!!! 👏👏👏

My workflow on status.omg.lol is going to Preferences and enabling/disabling the "Automatically post new statuses to Mastodon" before saving each status. I don't want ALL of my updates flowing to social.lol, it would just pollute the timeline with my thoughts, many of them in Portuguese. Or is it OK for everybody?

Seeking for information on some of my wife's ancestors, on familysearch. It's not as easy as I thought it would be

Daughter´s car broken this morning (low battery); had to wake in a hurry to take her to the university then call the insurance service.

Kwid não ligou de manhã, com a Laura. Tive que levá-la até Tamanduateí depois chamar a Porto Seguro para carregar a bateria. Acompanhar para ver se precisa trocar a bateria .

Testing the new "split view" of Microsoft Edge - now I have my status log screen and status.lol side-by-side within a single tab. One eye on my timeline and other eye on other people statuses.

Raining in Santo André - it's impossible to go to the gym today.

Ana Clara em teleconsulta, infecção de urina de novo. Tomar Ciprofloxacino

Pizza night! Celebrating Uncle José birthday - 84 years old!!!

Almoço e chopps no Dona Vitória em Santo André depois do Fruto de Arte.

Duas idas ao shopping hoje - um recorde.

Using Ferdium as an omg.lol control center.

Exames médicos - checkup anual.

Created a twitter account to be the bridge between status.lol and Diarium journalling app (that can read twitter posts but not rss).

Status.lol -> ifttt -> twitter -> Diarium

OK, mais um teste para ver se chega no twitter.

Curto -circuito!

Browsing the omg.lol shop while the printers are working... Then I see the @prami stickers (currently out of stock); then I look to the printers, to the Silhouette Cameo and then I think: "Why not cut some stickers myself?".

Testando o Halist Browser AI () do Amir Salihefendic, fundador e CEO do Todoist. Muito interessante!

E minha esposa também continua em discussão com o cartão de crédito da XP, que está cobrando indevidamente uma compra já cancelada e estornada pela loja. PQP como são bagunçados e desinteressados pelos clientes.

Tomando água tônica às 10h da noite. É para compensar que não posso beber álcool até 6a feira por causa dos exames de sangue.

Esperando por uma entrega de papéis. Um absurdo chegar tão tarde.

O iPhone da Laura chegou. Vem sem carregador 💰, sem cabo 💰 e sem adaptador para fone de ouvido 💰. E ainda tem que colocar a capinha 💰 e a película 💰.

Trabalhando em vários pedidos novos hoje, para fechar o mês com chave de ouro.

Vômito para motociclistas imbecis que se acham donos das ruas.

Mais uma reclamação no Procon-SP contra a XP, desta vez por vazamento de dados. Quero ver como irão se justificar pela falha.

Comprei o iPhone 13 128g para a Laura hoje.

Muita chuva hoje de tarde.

Laura foi de carro para São Paulo, Rua Augusta e Mirante Santander com as amigas da faculdade.

Ana Clara chegou em casa com mais 2 tatuagens. Pra quê isso???

De manhã na piscina do clube (sem entrar na água), em casa à tarde.

First Nespresso of the day is a bit delayed today, but it is good as always.

1 semana sem ir na academia faz diferença...hoje o treino foi bem mais cansativo.

Juntando os documentos para entrar com processo contra a XP Investimentos.

Descobri hoje que a impressora Epson L14150 tem um tanque de manutenção que precisa ser trocado quando enche de tinta!

Renovando o seguro do carro. Que paulada!!!

Não imagino que possa haver coisa pior que o atendimento do cartão de crédito da XP Investimentos. Meu Deus, como são desumanos, atrapalhados, relapsos e irresponsáveis. Estava tentando resolver um problema amigavelmente, mas fizeram uma lambança tão grande, mas tão grande, que agora estou acionando judicialmente com o suporte de um advogado especializado.

E já não sei mais se são falhas ou se é método mesmo.

Trabalhando em vários pedidos hoje! 😃

Exames cardiológicos na Eucor hoje pela manhã.

Homemade hamburger this night.

Consulta com psicóloga hoje, retornando das férias.

Pensando no que pedir para o jantar, talvez um crepe.

Chegamos em casa. Viajar é bom, mas voltar para casa é ótimo.

Laura melhorou, mas não o suficiente para aproveitar a praia ou a piscina nem para voltarmos para casa mais cedo. Mantendo o retorno para amanhã, então.

Laura passou mal depois do jantar, vomitando muito.

Pensando em pizza para o jantar hoje, se todas concordarem.

Chuva leve hoje na Riviera. Mas estamos na praia mesmo assim.

Mais um dia de muito sol na praia da Riviera de São Lourenço. Agora indo ao mercado comprar farofa para acompanhar a feijoada do almoço.

Ontem Ana Clara apresentou TCC e passou com nota 9! Comemoração no Jangada da Riviera.

Um solão na praia de manhã e agora uma taça de vinho bem geladinha, esperando o almoço que está no forno.

O bom de ser dono do meu próprio twitter é que eu posso escrever o que eu quiser, ninguém vai ler mesmo. E também não tem replies, retweets, nada.

Praia de manhã, caminhada até o shopping e agora piscina! Que dia chato kkk.

Atualizando a nova página /now no omg.lol: ()

Jantar no Pizza Place - Riviera Shopping

Primeiro dia na praia, na Riviera de São Lourenço, com um sol de rachar.

Finalmente consegui baixar todo o livro Indie Microblogging do Manton Reece, do micro.blog, para o Kindle; tem alguns bugs nos links mas a formatação está OK.

Quase 1 hora na fila do açougue . E lá ficaram R$110. E nem foi em picanha nem filé mignon.

Preparando as malas para 1 semana na praia. Acho que vamos precisar de um carro para nós e outro para a bagagem!

Sem muita disposição para postagens hoje.

Ontem a Ana Clara foi na médica que atrasou horrores, hoje foi com a Maria do Carmo. Porquê médicos se acham deuses que podem tudo e não respeitam seus pacientes? Sem falar que essa médica cobra uma fortuna pela consulta.

A Nespresso vive anunciando uma promoção no facebook e quando gente tenta usar no app ela não aparece. Pura enrolação da Nespresso 😠

Fui cancelar o micro.blog mas aí ofereceram 50% de desconto por 2 meses, acho que é um bom tempo para pensar melhor, então aceitei.

Almoço na Douce Douce e agora indo para a academia.

Janeiro tem IPTU, IPVA, seguros, faculdade afff.

Consulta com cardiologista hoje, toda a família.

Um dia é a impressora, noutro a Silhouette. Assim fica difícil!

Passeio rápido no shopping, aproveitei para cortar o cabelo Comprei mais uma camiseta básica da Hering. Minha ideia é só usar camisetas básicas agora.

Ida ao cemitério para ver a reforma da sepultura, que está parada, administração da funerária vai resolver.

Celular da Laur@ morrendo.... Até que durou bastante, quase 5 anos.

Não passarão!

Ana Clara com sintomas de gripe ou sinusite, fez autoteste de Covid = negativo.

Ajudando a preparar o almoço de domingo - arroz cremoso com bacalhau e camarão.

Grazie Napoli

Ninguém tem paciência com impressora que, de repente, se recusa a puxar o papel.

Iniciando a contagem regressiva e torcendo para um tempo bom na praia.

Ótima pizza da Galleria e ótimo vinho 🍷 Buena Letra da Finca Constância.

Muito serviço durante a semana, clientes retornando, pedidos grandes! Tomara que continue assim por todo o ano!!!

Indo para a academia debaixo de chuva, tem que ter disposição!

Mais um dia chuvoso e frio em São Paulo.

Sem tempo para atualizações hoje, vários projetos ao mesmo tempo 😉

Vou criar minha instância do mastodon com o

Update: desisti, não consigo passar do 1o passo.

Ainda decidindo o que fazer com o micro.blog e omg.lol. O micro.blog custa US$5/mês e o omg.lol eu já comprei 4 anos por US$5/ano; agora aumentou para US$20/ano, ainda assim 1/3 do valor do micro.blog. Mas o weblog.lol ainda está muito rústico comparando com o micro.blog; mas por outro lado, eu sei que não vou escrever tanto assim que valha pagar US$5/mês...

Segundo dia útil do ano, com 6 projetos novos em andamento, sendo 3 retornos de clientes que já compraram antes. Um ótimo começo para 2023!

Ano Novo, briga velha com o cartão de crédito da XP Investimentos. Meu Deus, como são enrolados (ou trapaceiros, mesmo, já nem sei mais). Quero me livrar disso e abandonar o XP de uma vez por todas, mas não consigo.

Primeiro dia útil de 2023 e irei começar a trabalhar no primeiro projeto do ano - que sejam muitos !!!

Eu preciso do micro.blog + omg.lol + 2 instâncias de mastodon (ou 3 se considerar o micro.blog) ? Vou escrever tanto assim? Cancelo o micro.blog e aposto no weblog do omg.lol? Ou, quando estiver algo importante para escrever, eu uso o Medium?

Coloquei um lembrete para fevereiro para cancelar o micro.blog, tenho 1 mês para decidir.

Acompanhando pela TV a posse do novo presidente da república. 🇧🇷

Fincando a bandeira do Brasil no mapa da omg.lol. A partir de agora, atualizações de status em portguês! 🇧🇷

Just waiting for the new year. I wish you all a great 2023!

Ordering McDonald´s for lunch today. Not too much McDonald´s in 2022, we prefer ordering from local and small restaurants but they are all closed today.

Going to replace the filter of the water heater. Done! In the blink of the eyes.

DNS configuration done. Now mdalves.top redirects to my omg.lol profile; blog.mdalves.top to weblog.

Updating (as always) my profile .

Browsing .

Descanse em paz, Pelé.

Rest in Peace, Pelé.

Excited about the omg.lol roadmap published today and loved the galactic domination plan! Will pay for some more years in advance to help them achieve their goals.

Lunch with family at Pecorino!

I have asked Chat GTP to suggest titles for an article I posted this morning and the proposed titles are really great. I will definetelly use it for all my next posts.

It's good when you send a feedback to the founder/CEO/developer and he/she acknowledges it, isn't it? I fell like I'm helping to build a better product.

It's the first time I define themes for the following year, and here they are; in 2023 I will focus on Health and Revenue.

My Redmi earphones that I use at gym just broke! No way to fix. Will try to use a pair of JBL but they slip from my ears...

Another day at gym. 6 months in a row (except 2 weeks due to covid). The changes in my body are noticeable!

I was in a bank branch today to pay a bill in cash. I don't remember the last time I've done this; probably many many years ago.

Worried about the news from USA. Hope all of you are safe and well.

Easy way to post to status.lol on Android: Open the status.lol page (while signed in), tap the three dots menu on top/right and select Add to Home Screen, then press & hold the icon and move it to the place you want. Done!

Don't wait anymore: omg.lol price will increase soon. Last days at US$5/year. Grab as many years as you can:

Watched Netflix's Matilda The Musical with my wife yesterday. We liked it, but we still prefer the original movie.

Last week of 2022. Packaging the last (up to now) order of the year. This week will probably be full of emotion as next Sunday is inauguration day of the new government in Brazil.

How do I use the IRC ? Where are the past messages, for instance?

Defining the names for my virtual personal board of mentors. 4 or 5 people I follow that inspire me. Will announce it soon.

It's Christmas time. So I gifted myself two more years of omg.lol ; and a new mdalves.top domain, just for fun! And another mechanical pencil too.

Thinking about posting only in Portuguese here at omg.lol, but will decide about this till the end of the year.

Helping my wife with the preparations for Christmas eve.

Midnight. Playing with omg.lol while waiting for my daughter return home from a date with her boyfriend.

Working on a project for a new customer.

Just returned from the gym - really tired today!

I definitely do not need another web service and social network to manage, but how could I resist to ?
