Brian Schnabel's Head Space – Where Magic and Mind Digitally Interlace

Character Name Creation Using Microsoft 365 Copilot

Monday, July 6, 2026, 9:50 PM: I worked with Copilot this evening on Chapter 1 of my book. Tonight was all about refining the concept of industry representatives whose names reflect their disciplines rather than corporate or government affiliations. I settled on a tentative list of names to use for a 14-member council, which is as follows:

Chapter 1 Book Project Notes: A Midnight Council in the Highlands: Setting the Stage for the Reveal

Sunday, July 5, 2026, 6:52 PM: In Chapter 1 of my book, I want to set the scene in an ancient, abandoned Scottish church in the forests of the Highlands in modern times. In the sanctuary of this church, a meeting is to start promptly at 0000 hours (midnight).

Fundamentals of Storytelling Review

Thursday, July 2, 2026: 7:21 PM: Today, I spent time with Copilot reviewing the fundamentals of storytelling so I can move forward with my book idea. It has been a while since high school and college, so I needed a bit of a refresher. Book summaries, blog posts, and letters have been more my thing over the past 25 years, so structuring a work of partial fiction had slipped my mind.

Not Another Damn Blind Man’s Memoir

Wednesday, July 1, 2026: 8:57 PM: I’m rereading The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma again. The interesting thing, too, is that my brain keeps drifting to the Celestine Prophecy book series by James Redfield as well. Or, at least, it was interesting until it finally clicked.

Benefits of LinkedIn Premiums Subscription

Tuesday, June 30, 2026: 9:23 PM: Today I explored the benefits of LinkedIn Premium with Copilot and learned that for $30 a month, you get features like InMail and the ability to see who’s viewed your profile. We also talked about LinkedIn Learning and how it offers a wide range of courses, including business, creative skills, and even meditation. In the end, I felt more informed but not left feeling I need the subscription right now.

HostGator VPS Update Message Microsoft 365 Copilot Install Review

Tuesday, June 30, 2026: 8:53 PM: This evening I used Copilot to help me review the HostGator VPS update message sent to my email and confirmed Apache (2.4.68, cPanel build) restarted normally with OpenSSL 3.5.5 and ModSecurity 2.9.13 active. The system applied several updates, including glibc 2.34 and a new Linux kernel. Initially, the new kernel wasn’t running, indicating a reboot was required.

Turning Off Activity Rings on Apple Watch SE 3

Tuesday, June 30, 2026: 1:28 PM: Copilot isn’t always the most accurate consultant on certain things, like software settings, even if you do tell it the exact version. However, upon further investigation, it would seem that Copilot is correct in stating that everything I need settings wise to convert my Apple SE 3 watch from Exercise Coach to monitor can be found under settings/Activity.
