GM 😀👊☕️ Lots of work on tap today. Loving working with my #clawdbot - his name is Max. I may write an article about week 1 using him. Art from @🟠 isolabellart Mug from @The Bullish ₿itcoiner I’m posting this using nostur@nostur.com Have a great day.

Just had to send a wire to pay an invoice and it’s laughable how hard it is and how long I stood there. By the 15 min mark I was thinking that the longer I’m “in bitcoin” the angrier I get at our banking system. Okay, back to work. 😀👊 #bitcoin

Installing #clawdbot

I spent just 60 min last night having #claude Cowork and their Chrome extension do a data entry task. Note that everything I'm about to describe I could see on my screen and I wasn't doing anything...just watching. - Took a name from a google sheet - Went a website and looked up the name - and it knew what text box on the screen to put the name into (I had to have the tab for this site open) - If there were multiple entires for the name it found the right one - Took the three pieces of data from the name I wanted - Put the data in the sheet - but only after changing the data into the format I told it to - Moved on to the next name It took 2-4 min per name. There were 17 names. This takes a human less time, but not half as much. The big issue is that it times out after a few names. And essentially breaks. You might be thinking, "You could do this with Claude code. You don't want to use Cowork for this." I can't because you have to log into the site with the data - you can't scrape it. But Claude, after doing four of these said, "This is really time consuming - why don't we try to do this in Claude code." Today it's too slow to have it do the 1200 hours of work I'll need done this year - I'll have to outsource that - but no doubt in a few months it'll do it faster. I listened to a podcast with the developer at Claude who built Cowork - which they did in 10 days with Claude Code - and he said that while it's slow and clunky it's better than Claude Code was when it was released. I hope it doesn't get too fast too quickly as I'd like to have a moat in the new business with a data set my competitors don't have. But 12 months from now they'll have it. Not only does 2026 feel like a race, it clearly is a race. #ai #claude #vibecoding #wildtimes

Im a bit grumpy, and I’m trying to work at a hipster coffee shop. Either I’m too old to appreciate this place, or, and I think more likely, it’s got crappy coffee, bad music and poor service and does indeed suck. So I fed the @⚡Lightning Goats⚡ and it made me happy. 😀 Stay warm goats! 🐐

GM 😀👊☕️ It’s 11 degrees F and sunny and not a breath of wind. I dropped off my middle schooler at a birthday party at a - wait for it - outdoor ice skating rink 🤦😂 But I bet they’ll have fun. Thoughts are with everyone here who is dealing with the possible ice storm. Stay safe and warm. 🙏🏻 Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain

Wow! @Sat’s Oil is fantastic! Earthy and fresh. Unlike any olive oil I’ve ever had. I splurged on some nice balsamic vinegar, heated up some bread and the kids and I feasted. Alessandro has communicated so well to make this international transaction happen. And the package came with some goodies too 😉 #worththesats #v4v #circulareconomy #foodstr

#gratitude note… I’m riding the indoor bike and my high schooler is on the phone with my 82 yr old mom. They’re very close and I’m so grateful that my mom goes out of her way to be involved in their lives. 😊

GA 😀👊 Busiest work period of the year is done. I hosted a conference for 200 people and it ended yesterday. Great energy in the room and great speakers. But I’ll be taking 2027 off as the opportunity cost is high and it’s a lot of financial risk to put on the event. Long story short, great to be back here 😀 Enjoying some coffee before a workout and a meal with the kids. We’re playing a new game tonight called Azul. Also, the pen is a Uni-ball Signo Dx in case @Bfgreen is curious. I hope you’re having a good day! #coffeechain #plebchain #penstr
