Capture One is to Lightroom as Emacs is to Obsidian. It's driving me just as crazy, too. This one hurts a little... Woe betide those who live by way of examples! Life is not with them. If you live according to an example, you thus live the life
I've been having a blast migrating this blog to Kirby. Setting up new software and learning what it can do is a lot of fun. This post is mostly a quick summary of how I've found using Kirby so far. First, I'm typing this

I still resent that at some point capital-D “Design” trumped usability on web pages. The most egregious example is link colors. Blue and purple links were deemed too “ugly” and were replaced by barely distinguishable variants. This blog’s theme, for example, removes colors from links by default. I’ve
I keep a lot of files in a lot of folders, but I’m inconsistent in how I organize them. This means I too frequently have trouble finding things, so I’ve made another attempt at fixing the problem. I’ve tried all the popular “systems”. From PARA to ACCESS

I’m all-in with Emacs after once again failing to get along with Obsidian. I’d stopped using Notmuch in Emacs for email, but I brought it back after re-reading Paul Ford’s article in Wired: I Finally Reached Computing Nirvana. Could I too start storing things as email and
Many of my TODO items in Org-mode include a SCHEDULED property, which lets me ignore them until a specified date in the future. This keeps my Org agenda nice and tidy. Something that always bugged me is that this worked fine in the Agenda, but not the global TODO list.
During frequent bouts of Subscription Fatigue, I always glance sideways at SetApp, thinking that I could cancel my subscription. Then I look at the apps I have installed via SetApp (see above) and once again realize that it might be the most useful $10/month subscription I have. So it

I’ve never been to Burning Man, but for years I really wanted to go. I mean c’mon, a bunch of normies heading out to the beach (at first, but later, the desert) to do drugs, walk around half (or fully) naked, and opt out of society for a
