Simple receipt storage and retrieval.

Use it daily!

Task lists print as clean checklists. Because sometimes the deliverable is paper on a desk in a plant office, and that is fine. #consulting

[Andrew Prisk @andrewprisk]

@github integration: import open issues as tasks, push tasks back as issues, link a repo to a project.

For consultants working in a client's repo and their own head, that gap is where things get dropped.

Why the Southeast first: BEAD dollars hit pole owners here first, and the incumbent software is least loved here. GA, the Carolinas, TN, AL, MS. #BEAD #southeast

On average people lose 40 minutes of sleep at each DST shift.

Twice a year, most of the world.

Estimated cost over $450 million annually.

For a 1918 wartime measure.

Recurring meetings are where timezone systems fail quietly.

Correct when created. One region shifts. A third of attendees join an hour out.

Nobody files it as a bug because nobody knows whose fault it is.

[Andrew Prisk @andrewprisk]

Client asks for a status update at 4:55pm Friday.

Work logged: 30 seconds.
Work not logged: an hour of archaeology and a worse answer.

The whole argument for a work log is in that gap.

[CLOC @CLOChanges]

Per-user silos enforced at the database layer. Signed, short-lived download links. Audit trail on every destructive action. And storage that never trains anyone's AI. Private by design. #dataprivacy

[Pulse @dotPulses]

Pulse started as an essay in 2021, not a product.

Sat as writing for four years.

Building it was a matter of finally being annoyed enough. Most useful software has that shape.

#buildinpublic

[Andrew Prisk @andrewprisk]

Quarter end for a consultant:

4 clients
12 projects
4 requests for "a summary of what you have done"
all reconstructed from memory

The work already happened. Writing it up again should not take a week.

[Pulse @dotPulses]

Web clock at https://t.co/8CeCtPQCM0. No install, no signup.

Full converter, live anchor. Good on a second monitor if your day crosses regions.

[Andrew Prisk @andrewprisk]

A status update your client reads is not a meeting.

It is three bullets on Friday: what moved, what is next, what is blocked.

CLOC sends it automatically from your address, with your name on it.

[CLOC @CLOChanges]

Solo consulting means being your own PMO, archivist, and DBA. CLOC is the working memory for all three. $10/mo. https://t.co/LwCFgTnrLm #soloconsultant #freelance

[Pulse @dotPulses]

Nobody is switching their whole life to decimal time and Pulse does not ask.

Local time shows everywhere alongside the anchor.

New standards fail when they demand everything.

[Andrew Prisk @andrewprisk]

What CLOC is not:

not a CRM
not invoicing
not time tracking
not team chat
not kanban
not Gantt

Knowing what you are not is how you stay good at what you are.

[Sagen @Sagen_SI]

One BEAD route, six parties: pole owner, ISP, cable, wireless, contractor, engineering firm. Today: forwarded spreadsheets. In Stylos: one record, six views. #fiberdeployment #makeready

[Pulse @dotPulses]

Count the messages in your last scheduling thread.

Now count how many existed only to work out what time it actually was.

That number is the problem.

[CLOC @CLOChanges]

That query you wrote three jobs ago that solves this exact problem? In CLOC it is a 15-second search, not a lost laptop. Keep your artifacts. #SQL #developers

[Andrew Prisk @andrewprisk]

The mobile app works with no signal.

Not a fallback, a design assumption. Data centre, basement, client wifi that blocks everything.

Software that assumes perfect connectivity was designed in an office.

[Sagen @Sagen_SI]

Make-ready contractors document completions in text-message photo threads and wait weeks to get paid. Mobile field view, GPS-pinned photos, paperwork done at the pole. Paid faster. #contractors
