@neko Yeah my spouse had to summon me somewhere around midnight because I went into puzzle-solving mode.

“Infrastructure as Code” introducing me to a new flavor of dependency hell.

For business communication I still prefer TIAS to FAFO but I’m old-fashioned like that.

Getting work done and meanwhile that other part of my brain is fiddling with the fidget toy and going “you know they’re all block-based editors when you think about it.”
Well as long as it’s keeping busy.

Admitting that sometimes when neurodivergent folks talk it’s like someone’s fiddling with our playback speed.

#HelpfulHint: when someone needs my attention and I’m in the middle of something thinky — but I know they really need my attention — I put a little “YOU ARE HERE” line in my notes.
Such as “YOU ARE HERE: trying to log into AWS”
It’s been a lifesaver I tell you what.

@ElectricDryad Oh yay that’s fantastic!

@ElectricDryad If there’s one thing we couldn’t possibly have too much of it’s shiny toys to manage all the things.
Have you looked at Capacities? It shows some promise as a maybe-someday Notion replacement. It’s already much better at the journaling thing. Types and collections are very nice too.

@ElectricDryad notable gaps compared to things I like in Notion: no formula calculations, simple tables, or Mermaid diagrams.
OTOH defining a “ticket” type and creating one inline in my daily note with /ticket/DEMO-001 is better than I’ve managed with Notion!

@ElectricDryad It’s in my rotation. I’ll be sure to mention if things get exciting ^_^

I feel like an undercurrent of dissatisfaction with all PKMs I try is basically they can’t do as much as Org mode. They implement (up to) half of it, awkwardly. Sort of a variation on Greenspun’s tenth rule.
But they’re very pretty.

Grumbling aside, I feel like I could turn Trilium or SiYuan into a nice lovely Org-like.
Though it would take roughly the same amount of effort as just committing to Emacs+Org.

Trying denote.el for a change of pace. It’s nice! Wouldn’t be surprised if I use that file naming scheme for some other ideas.
(minibuffer placement is a nano-emacs thing)
