A **natural language parser** would be a big help
|
|
for the sort of formatting I've been doing recently.

450-460 James Robertson Parkway Phase II (fka James Roberston Pkwy Mixed Use Development)

|

### Smart Home
|
|
|
|
One of the most exciting aspects of home ownership to me
|
|
is that I'll finally be able to go full smart home.
|
|
|
|
A programmable thermostat is at the top of my todo list,
|
|
for energy efficiency, but mostly habit enforcement.
|
|
I can not sleep without blankets, and I can not sleep hot.
|
|
Turning on the lights as an alarm is usually effective,
|
|
but when it's cold I find it hard not cover my face and go back to sleep.
|
|
|
|
In general the ability to make one's house unfit for relaxation
|
|
at certain hours of the week is very powerful.
|
|
|
|
Google's Nest is the stereotypical smart thermostat,
|
|
but devices using a local, non-Wi-Fi protocol
|
|
like [Zigbee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigbee)
|
|
or [Z-Wave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Wave)
|
|
ought to be preferred.

### Ulysses Pacts
|
|
|
|
The most challenging part of implementing Ulysses pacts with yourself
|
|
is that sometimes you really _do_ need to jump in after the sirens, %% that's a stretch %%
|
|
but if you allow yourself an out for emergencies
|
|
you will almost certainly use it inappropriately in a moment of weakness.
|
|
I know I will, anyway.
|
|
Rarely can my fear of disappointing myself
|
|
overwhelm the immediate appeal of whatever I'm keeping from myself.
