My new fon didn't want to show a notification dot for voicemail, and I thought I fixed that and didn't think about it again until I got a rare spam call today. Now when I open the telephony app I don't see the expected voicemail icon. I seem to remember the fix maybe involved force-stopping, deleting cruft somewhere, and retarting telephony? but apparently I didn't take notes. If the fix isn't sticky then it's easier just to dial in after a missed call. Turns out the spammer didn't leave a voicemail anyway.

For years I had a cyclical chore spreadsheet-list. At the top, the daily vitamin and spotty exercise initiatives. Then biweeklies: rotate the sink dishcloth and oven-handle dishtowel to the wash, and set out fresh ones. Then weeklies - fresh bed and bath linens; give the commode a swish with the scrubbrush so it never gets stubbornly crusted with mineral deposits; bill-paying and filing. Then semi-weeklies: litter genie, malware scans etc. Then monthlies; quarterlies; biannuals; annuals.
In theory, IF you sweep down the list every day THEN you're always on top of things.
Line items that felt like I was on top of the crucial things, particularly bill-paying and account statement balance recording, got done whether I marked them or not - but it was a natural step to update the last-done/do-next dates as I worked through the task lines constellation.
Manual stuff like pulling a weekly blog db copy, exporting primary browser bookmarks, malware scan - often fell by the wayside. Likewise things that entailed stepping away from the desktop - the weekly commode swish, or running my sleep pillow through a quarterly dust-mite-killing hot wash and dry. A daily or "every Wednesday and Sunday" habit is easy to internalize. It starts to get squirrely at the weekly scale if you have to bounce back and forth between the desktop and other stations.
Some people find a paper log at the pertinent task station is more manageable - taped to the bathroom mirror for a flossing habit-maker "star list"; taped to the washer for a pillow wash "star list"; etc.
A spreadsheet can't give you a reminder; but loading up a general calendar app with daily / weekly / monthly / quarterly / annual tasks feels like too much going on in one context. You'd have reminders dinging and getting snoozed constantly; you'd need a dedicated app to accumulate multiple coinciding tasks into a chore agenda for the day. And no calendar app that I know of gives the satisfaction of a "star chart" to encourage win streaks. So if I have to pick a lane? I haven't tried a spreadsheet structured as task-grid/star-chart. I think win-streak visualization will be more supportive than the cyclical tick-list with history limited to last-done-date/do-next-date.

In addition to remote database clients like HeidiSQL, the new hosting plan supports FTP. Phosphoros supports image embedding, it was just a pain in the neck under the previous hosting provider to trudge through the web portal dashboards and menus just to upload an image file; and then there was no direct way to automate backing-up of the image file folder contents.
