For grins, because I enjoy novelty, and because I’m a glutton for punishment, I on-boarded myself to CachyOS on an old laptop. Device support is fantastic. I kept myself inside my Gnome desktop environment comfort-zone, and have been spending a lot of time with Google to do things that take less work on other distros. For example, secure boot is probably now more secure than on any previous Linux install, but I needed Google to find out generally what to do–then translating it to the real world and my specific device. We got there.

“Jesus saves!” is the punch line to at least one sports joke, but also a reminder about something you can do to ensure you keep your work before you switch away from one application or tab or hit a Back button. I remembered that in relation to something I did to myself earlier today. #wwjd #profane

Have dropped my phone twice in the first two hours of my day. I sincerely hope this is not a trend.

Re-doing the Re-do. Experimenting with Obsidian, today. Trying so hard to reduce dependency on platforms, but struggling with the correct paths forward. Apple Notes in a web-browser is slow. Keeping notes all over the place is broken. I’m struggling as are many who are looking for the one right way.

Feeling a little Willy Wonka, today. I blame Label. #ACNH

When I change to a standing desk, I’m more apt to start walking when I’m ruminating. No destination in particular, but I have to pick one when I notice. Sitting in a cube farm at work, the behavior is not invisible.

I occasionally wish that “Handedness” was a preference setting I could modify in iOS accomodations #apple

I’m a lefty (how sinister!) and some apps are designed for folks holding a device differently than I do.

Geek problems: I’ve tried a new keyboard that I love and now I want keyboards like it everywhere.

I have plenty of keyboards. Good ones.

It’s just that I have a new preference.

Very sad to learn Summit Brewing is in foreclosure talks. I suppose an international concern will buy the naming rights and produce something and call it Summit, after this.
