This morning I was thinking about how much I wish there was a full FOSS (or even proprietary but self-hosted) replacement for Evernote. I’m mostly happy with my current note-taking setup, but nothing has yet fully replicated the “everything app” nature of Evernote for me (notes, important emails, web clippings, pdfs, etc)…

About a week ago, I set up a new RSS feed in my feed reader, which is tied to a GitLab-based project I want to keep up to date on. So now, instead of via email, I can comfortably skim through release notes for the product in the same way I catch up on news, blogs, etc. 🎉

I wish I still had a copy of my original MySpace and Facebook profiles and posts. Not because of anything overly interesting, but because I often feel like there is a whole portion of my youth and early adulthood that is just “missing”, aside from some photos, even though I was online. :(

Saturdays are (once again) perfect days for relaxing on the couch with a cup of coffee while updating my various computers & servers (both local and remote), and reflecting on the past week. ☕

It’s interesting, and somewhat unsettling, seeing photos from 5 years ago surfaced in memories. 5 years ago today I had recently pivoted to remote work for an indeterminate amount of time due to Covid-19, and apparently was working on improving my video conferencing setup, which is pale in comparison to the system I use when taking calls from home today!

Over the last few days, I noticed that something seemed off with my website… zero traffic reported by GoatCounter (I use the analytics soley to see general trends and traffic), and some IndieWeb functionality didn’t seem to be working. Turns out I accidentally switched to the upstream version of my theme instead of my fork with custom tweaks a week ago. 🤦‍♂️ Fixed now!

There are a handful of books that I find myself rereading with some consistency, both to glean new ideas I’ve missed in previous read-throughs, and to refresh myself on some concepts. Getting Things Done by David Allen has been one such book, and it looks like Team by David Allen & Edward Lamont will be another!
