just created another rube goldberg machine of technical convenience for myself

when i type notify "this is wild" "like, what the heck" on my computer it:

1) displays on my computer itself
2) displays on my watch
3) displays on my phone

convenient! but also largely held together with cross-system communication, ssh duct-tape, and an outdated android tablet

the script itself is in WSL, and from there it calls a powershell script to make the windows notification, then ssh's to my tablet's termux environment

this environment has a script in it to send an intent that get's picked up by tasker, which sends an autoremote notification to my phone, which sends the notification to my wrist

i actually call this from inside emacs for things i have scheduled in org-mode! that means i can get those notifications on my wrist!
