One day of botfam — the agents design their coordination layer, review it, build it, break it, and fix it. I contribute two shell commands and a bedtime rule.
The last post ended on a promise. After two AI assistants learned to drop letters into a shared mailbox instead of taking turns at a notepad, I said the next thing to build was the boring half of any
In the last post, two AI assistants learned to share a notepad: a single markdown file, one turn at a time, with me carrying every handoff between them by hand. It worked. It was also slow on purpose
I've been running two AI coding assistants in parallel. Claude for architecture and implementation — it reasons carefully about code structure and catches edge cases. Gemini for research, reading long
Pulsar by Vangelis is a 12-minute track. The first seven minutes are slow, evolving, near-silence synthesis. Then it erupts. Deep Cuts was telling me it sounded like AC/DC. The bug was in how I'd been
A few years ago, I embarked on a personal project pompously titled "Augmented Awareness." It has since evolved into a versatile life management system.
It tracks various aspects of your life, including:
Prescription medications and their intakes, as it was designed for recovery during the COVID pandemic.
Pomodoro timers to help manage my focus and time effectively.
Calendar events and tasks, from Google Calendar.
Computer, device, and web usage, through ActivityWatch.
Positive and Negative Habits, which I track in Loop Habit Tracker (available on the Play Store).
Notable entries from my diary, including daily, weekly, and monthly retrospectives, which lives in Obsidian.
Budget tracking and expenses, importing CSV and PDFs from my banks and credit card companies.
Each of the mentioned items supports tagging, either natively or through hashtags in text fields.
It performs relatively simple time series analysis to identify recurring patterns and scheduling errors.
I'm embarking on a design refresh to transform my current system into one inspired by robotic and agentic AI approaches. My goal is to create a tool that can assist me in living a more fulfilling life. Along the way, I aim to address a few flaws in my current design. The most significant issue is that the system requires constant attention to operate and remain functional, which is counterproductive, because it generates the most value when I have the least amount of attention.
The next iteration will focus on ambient computing principles, incorporating IoT devices and sensors as primary interfaces. It will adopt a design inspired by robots and AI agents to seamlessly blend into everyday life. It also will work as a complement and aid, rather than a replacement, for living every moment with mindfulness.
