Hey, just a reminder or the evening crowd: I'm moving to @kistaro@dragon.style. See you there!
I’m moving my primary account to @kistaro@dragon.style - please re-follow me there if you want to keep following me.
(A bunch of people I follow here are moving to instances not federated with awoo.space)
Today has been productive. I don't feel like that most weekends, so it's a nice change. I feel like I played a disappointing amount of video games today, but that's okay, there's an extra weekend day to go still. (although that one is going to involve a lot of writing. there should still be time for games though)
I have a tiny notebook full of notes on how I use tiny notebooks as a project/chaos management system! It’s notes, not a real presentation - I will be working on a web site to present this soon. So a legible version, better organized, with full explanations, will be available soon.
But for the curious: https://drive.google.com/open?id=15Bcwe-O9GFruLVh76XlR3JvFYbVxFuL0 (30MB PDF). It is self-describing, since it’s a notebook for a project to write a web site about how I write notebooks about projects!
Two days of furious scribbling have left me with a tiny notebook full of preliminary notes on how I use tiny notebooks for thinking into at work and otherwise storing ideas. Next up: follow my own directions and scan the notebook, then write the website. A PDF of the notebook itself will be available soon (before the web site is)
I think after poking around at Wix, Weebly, Sway, and Squarespace, I’m going to just use Google Sites. I just want an article in the format of a responsive website, I’m not an actual web site designer and I don’t want to be.
I have too much content to write to feel like it fits in Dreamwidth- it needs at least basic navigation and better handling of images than I can do myself with Dreamwidth’s tools.
This weekend, I’m going to create a *something* on my thorough-but-not-difficult system for taking and sort-of-organizing notes (work projects, daily to-do items, thought debris) via dozens of tiny notebooks. I’d like feedback on what format the something should be in:
* formatted text with images (Dreamwidth.org)
* modern scrolling article (Microsoft Sway)
* slideshow (Google Slides)
* unconventional slideshow (please recommend a tool)
* scans of handwritten notes from a tiny notebook
possibly-lethal levels of cuteness
This story is giving me SO MUCH AWWW. Toronto rolled out new "raccoon-resistant" compost bins that the raccoons very quickly figured out how to open; the reporter for this story set up a camera on her own new bin and recorded them getting better and better at opening them.
WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS THEY ARE GREAT
substance use, ~
I’m at work drinking coffee to counteract the hangover from last night’s cannabis use, which was in part to get over the frazzled-ness that came in part from excess coffee use. NOTHING CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG WITH THIS PLAN
In practice, coffee reliably induces productivity for me and I haven’t found effective alternatives - adequate quantities of caffeinated tea upset my stomach - so maybe this is the best balance I can manage. It’s productive, I’m just noting the symptom circle.
