Working Tools 42. Sabotaged.

The new normal has exposed the weakness of my iPad-only system [https://stuartlennon.com/working-tools-36-horses-for-courses/]. The iPad Pro as a mini-desktop is a beautiful, minimal setup. The tablet sits on a stand, in horizontal orientation, controlled by a separate keyboard and mouse (or trackpad). This makes for a focused experience.

Working Tools 41. Customer Hostility

Why do tech companies hate their customers so much? Remember aspirational me [https://stuartlennon.com/working-tools-36-horses-for-courses/]? The one who had his iPad Pro on a boom arm. The premise of the iPad Pro is that it can handle pretty much anything. It almost can. Almost. My desire to have the

Working Tools 40. HEY for Work

I’m a paid up subscriber to the new email service that I wrote about [https://stuartlennon.com/working-tools-39-hey-yay-nay/] last week. I’m on the lists for custom domains and work accounts.

Working Tools 39. Hey! Yay! Nay?

Today, I’m writing about the dance craze sweeping the nation. Only kidding. I’m still blethering on about e-mail. I have been trialing Hey [https://hey.com] for more than a week. I’ve read the manifesto [https://hey.com/the-hey-way/] (seriously, there is one), watched the 37 minute

Working Tools 38. E-mail Revisited

A huge attraction of going iOS-only, or iOS-first, is simplicity and focus. iPad can do all sorts of multi-tasking, but for me, works best as a single-focus device. Accepting that my corporate work is easier done on macOS than iOS, has redirected my thinking on workflows. E-mail I have three

Working Tools 37. HEY

Heard of Basecamp [https://basecamp.com/]? It’s a collaboration tool for remote teams. Well, the guys behind it have been working on re-imagining e-mail. The aim is to put the user in charge. Privacy-driven, workflow-oriented, with some additional clever elements. It’s called HEY [https://hey.com/]. If you

Working Tools 36. Horses for Courses

I’m self-aware enough to know, that whining about whether to use one highly-priced bit of tech over another, is easily seen as a humble brag, or a first world problem. Certainly, in the context of our world today, it’s entirely insignificant. Still winds me up though. The Dream

Working Tools 35. The Domino Effect

I wrote only last week about breaking [https://stuartlennon.com/working-tools-34-breaking-stuff/] stuff. Turned out that my migration of the Lime website [https://limeconsulting.com] wasn’t quite as successful as I’d hoped. The theme wasn’t responsive, and activating the menu on a tablet or smart phone, overlaid the
