    by

    Greg shared his on again off again notebook habit.

But for some reason, I just stopped using my notebook for a few months. It’s like it went…

  • Noah Herman – Back to the iPad Pro

    by

    Much like Noah above, I’ve been using my iPad much more again for getting things done. Just 3 months ago I was using my iPad so little that I was contemplating taking it off my 2nd desk and downsizing from a 12.9” iPad Pro to a Mini. An iPad Mini is far more portable and…

    With my switch to Fedora as my main working operating system I needed to change how I process images for this site. I want images to be small, but still a good enough quality to see. On macOS I used Permute via SetApp to batch process images, but Permute is not available on Linux. So…

    8BitDo Retro Nintendo Keyboard

    by

    At one point in my life I was collecting Lego sets that I enjoyed, but that time has passed and my Lego remains in a box after my move to Prince George almost 2 years ago. The Lego hobby has been replaced in a small way by getting interesting keyboards now and that is why…

    The Stark Reality of the Climate Crisis

    by

    The Climate book by Greta Thunberg, is not a book entirely written by the named author, it’s a collection of essays requested by Thunberg. She shows up with her own writing many times in the books, my copy had her writing on darker pages which actually made them harder to read. The purpose of the…

    Export Note Links with Obsidian Easy Bake

    by

    As I’ve been moving all my book notes over to my website I’ve needed an easy way to get my transclusions from my notes into plain markdown. While Obsidian shows them, when you copy a note normally you don’t get the text at the other end of a transclusion. This is where Easy Bake has…
