Distracted thinking about how I could automate a task further to avoid stupid little mistakes, and I made a stupid little mistake doing the task.

My favorite information managers are text based. Well, outliners too. And block-based are just so nice and pretty.
And have you seen the infinite canvas apps omg —
I think I just said I like all of them.

block-based, local JSON + SQLite, AGPL, PlantUML, backlinks, graph, …
Don’t know anything more because that’s my self-imposed 15 minute break done. Back to work!

Just shouted “I’M TOUCHING THE FILE! I’M TOUCHING THE FILE!” and did a little butt dance in my chair.
If you’re curious how my Devops journey is going.

Far enough along that Terraform can tell me what I’m doing wrong and I very nearly understand it.
Reminded of when I decided I wanted to learn C++ and got Coplien’s “Advanced C++”
and then like six months later or so decided to get a computer too

that’s the wrong way to do it btw

ooh now I’m far enough along that it’s telling me what someone else did wrong. Let’s fix that so we can get back to my failures.

I’m not saying Siyuan is perfect — or maybe it is I can’t read Chinese so I don’t know what the reviews say — but it’s got all the note stuff, backlinks, tabs, and split views too. Takes copy and paste from Logseq more graciously than Obsidian that’s for sure.

(oh and tonight I confirmed that I can put the whole thing in git and pick it up on another machine)
