Somebody commented “There is no Internet” in Slack and I was about to throw some cheeky reply like “at last” until I noticed it was the support channel.

Thankfully support was already taking care of them.

Learning new industry buzzwords is always a bit of a mixed blessing. On one hand, now you know what they’re talking about. OTOH, now you know what they’re talking about.

Heptabase is very pretty and handy for a certain kind of thought processing, but — export. Handing folks anything beyond screenshots and Markdown snippets still requires a fair amount of post-processing.

Well I didn’t do the thing but I have documented progress on it, which is nice.

Similarly, didn’t play video games like I wanted but I did adjust Satisfactory settings so it got 85 FPS on Linux instead of 12. I’ll be ready for some portion of the weekend.

Info dumping is my love language so I’ve been using the internal blog feature of work Jira a little bit.
