I’ve written about notebooks a lot in the last couple of months. And that should be a pretty good indicator that something fishy is going on. I’m developing a new… interest. I was going to use the word obsession, but I’m not there yet. I have bought some new, but crappy notebooks to replace my Field Notes, and I’ve...

I really like to blog. I do not know if you can tell that, as I only blog every single day. I know a lot of my fellow bloggers who have the same passion I do for maintaining and producing content for their blogs. One thing I have noticed, however is that a lot of us bloggers, myself included, seem to avoid using...

I’m resisting buying a new keyboard. I have promised myself that my need to collect new keebs is over, and I can be happy with what I have. I tell myself that at least once a day. I have a problem. The thing that is prodding me towards breaking my “no new keyboards” streak, is that my current dactyl doesn’t have...

I’m filling up my Field Notes notebooks quickly, so I’ve been on the lookout for my next set. I figured I would go cheaper this time, since Field Notes (it’s a brand) are quite pricey. I found some generic A6 size notebooks on Amazon that looked nice and have about 10 times the number of pages as the Field Notes....

The other day on The Linux Cast, we talked a lot about security, and one of the things that we talked about was changing your password. Now, I use a password manager for the things that matter, so it’s quite easy to change passwords when needed. For the stuff on my computer, however, I’m not as dillgent as I should...

So, a few days ago, I wrote about how my bookmarking system is a mess. I’m still thinking about what to do about that, but I’m still slowly going through my saved RSS articles, my bookmarks, and my notes. I’m weeding things out in the hopes that when I get a new system, I will have less to transfer over. Even if I...

Back in June, I wrote a post about how I had started keeping track of certain habits. These were things I wanted to improve upon by doing every single day. I’ve done a somewhat good job of actually doing this since then. First, as I said in that post, I used an Obsidian daily note to track these habits. Obsidian,...

I like Discord. I also kinda hate Discord. The problem I have with it is that there are a lot of people there. The thing I like about it is that there are a lot of people there. It’s a mixed bag. You will find a lot of great things on Discord, but I have also had my worst experiences on social media on Discord...

I’ve had some blog stats available on my About page for a while, but I wanted to see if I could make my script a little more robust. For one, I wanted more stats, but I also wanted graphs. What I had before was a simple bash script that would post the total number of posts and the total word count. Every time I...

I have looked into getting into fountain pens myself, if I’m being honest. I love the idea of them. And I do own one. I do not know if it’s a good one or not, I just bought it on Amazon when I was looking for a new pen (I ended up with six new pens). One thing I discovered is, fountain pens really don’t work well...

Back when Twitter was fun and Tumblr was new, the idea of posting small blogs, or “micro blogging”, caught the public’s eye. For those of us who found regular, long-form, blogging to be too overwhelming, posting a little thought here or their on our micro blog would allow us a foot in the door without the stress of...

A few days ago I wrote about my inability to actually play games that I buy. In that post I made a… lukewarm mention of trying harder. You could tell I really didn’t believe it. Honestly, I still don’t believe it. But, I’m going to stick to my promise and try. I’m going to play (and try to beat) Skyrim, a game I’ve...
