the thing I kept fumbling with a few agents going: one of them stops to ask me something and I don't notice for way too long now a blocked task jumps to the top of my live board with the agent's question, I reply right there, and it picks up the answer on its next check

At menu bar size you never really see the little details in these, so here are some Multimeter faces blown way up. Any meter can wear any of the 35, and you can switch whenever

my blog is just static files, but I can still schedule posts. Every deploy pre-builds the site as it'll look when each post goes live, and a timer on the server swaps it in

made a little prompt configurator for the Apple pickup trick: pick your size, color and city, copy the prompt, paste it to your agent, get pinged the second an iPhone Duo is ready at a store near you

added live progress to Taskhold. my agents break a task into steps and report as they go, and I get a progress bar per task with which agent is on it, how long it's been running and about how long is left

wrote up the whole story of Multimeter: 16 sources, 35 faces, piping your own numbers in from scripts, building your own faces, and five live meters running at about 3% CPU

Multimeter on a light menu bar. CPU on a little needle gauge, network as a sparkline, an LCD focus timer, memory, and my battery as a row of hearts Every face draws itself for light or dark, so it fits right in either way

Made a Mac app that puts live meters for anything in your menu bar. Battery, CPU, watts, fan speed, timers, even your own numbers 13 faces to pick from, including a needle gauge, an LCD readout, a row of pixel hearts and a laser sword

I wanted to know which posts people read, who links here and how often the ChatGPT and Claude crawlers stop by, without a single cookie or anyone else's script nginx logs + one tiny beacon + a daily rollup covers all of it
