Google NotebookLM

The perfect tool for studying. Load the notes, study links into the portal. It will summarize, create a mindmap and an audio file in the format of podcast. The podcast is interesting and engaging. Has a chat function, allowing you to ask questions and it answers you based on what you have loaded.

ChatGPT

I am currently experimenting this tool for my exams. It is as robust and as fast as Google NotebookLM. Worth checking out.

Linux Mint OS

This is my favourite OS. It is light weight and runs on old devices. I have it running on first generation Macbook Air. This is my go-to writing machine. I write most of my post on this device. A new battery cost less than USD100 and gives me 4 hours of power. It is a cheap, lightweight perfect writing platform.

Date Countdown App

The perfect reminder tool in counting down to the days of major events. Such as anniversaries, renewal contracts, birthday celebration etc. I look it daily to make sure I am on top of things.

This tool saved me at least 40 minutes of work in every month. This script simulate my clicks to manually extract customer report from our company's web application. I took about 2.5 hours to setup and run smoothly. This tool only works in FireFox.
