Updates - too soon!

This system has been chugging along for years. A few days ago the Simpletask app on my phone stopped syncing to Dropbox. Simpletask is no longer in development. Simpletask still worked with the local file, so I stopped using Dropbox and I'm now using Synchthing to sync while I'm at home. No access while off the home network, so this may be another episode once I figure that out.
