   I have errands to carry out in Oslo, but I have no pleasurable excuse to be there today. Those errands aren't urgent, but I know I'll be able to relax more once they are taken care of. Since I moved to the suburbs, I have started to think of the city as a place for work and errands, not relaxation. You don't really need to live in a city if you don't have any business there. I wouldn't mind living and working in a small town, but I'd need a driver's license, a car and a local job first.

    Looking up #patent information can be very harmful, resulting in treble damages against those who look. It becomes "willful". https://twitter.com/EPOorg/status/1017317676690132997 #epo

    @calvin @mdhughes I'm learning many new things today. I knew about IFFFT. I didn't know that it could geofence or that it could filter triggers with TypeScript if you use a developer account. I didn't know about Workflow, nor did I know that Apple acquired it in 2017 and are incorporating it into iOS as Shortcuts.

      @mdhughes @calvin I'm not keen on publishing an applet on IFFFT, since it can't accept user inputs for the filter code, meaning that the app would be too specific to be useful to other people. There's also the issue of only triggering the reminder once on that day, and of being able to set a specific time as a fallback, in case I didn't actually go to the office that day, but still need to take care of the task.

      @calvin @mdhughes I would want it to trigger specifically if I'm travelling *from* Oslo, not *to* Oslo. Both routes pass through the train station, but the route to Oslo is a bus stop across a walk bridge, and it would not be convenient to do the task in question then. It's only convenient when heading the other way, because that route passes straight through the main station area.

      @mdhughes @calvin The simplest option would be to add a time condition, but if I'm not following my usual schedule, that would break it. The geofencing of a phone sitting in my pocket is not likely to be accurate enough to tell two parts of the station apart, so I would instead want to specify as a condition that I have visited two geofenced areas in a specific order. If the Oslo area was littered with iBeacons, the task would be much easier.
