So I did in fact make Yarner part of my complete nutritious dotfiles: write literate markdown, tangle to config, hope you got it right this time.

Need to smooth the rough edges of my setup, but Yarner works great.

@lordbowlich Similar thoughts. I only bumped into it a week or two ago.

Maybe mix in another tool to execute selected code blocks, and I’ve got Close Enough on org-babel functionality.

A fragment of perfect beauty popped into my head:

Added a tip based on my own flailing to a github issue on a thing. Forgot about it for a year.

New comment notification today. Click through. Multiple happy emojis on my note, a thanks from the filer, and new thanks from someone just hitting something similar.

Typing & deleting a lot of notes that have that old LiveJournal feel to them. Clearly there are mental health issues to address.

All right. Bored of depression brain, specifically its cognitive distortions which are like listening to some god-awful third rate band I loved in junior high.

I know the things I need to do (as opposed to the things on my task list) and I got executive function to do them.

I had a terrible idea – tangle Org config files w/o Emacs. So far Org::Parser (Perl) and Orgajs (JS) get me closest. Not sure how much I want to learn about the Unified.js ecosystem.

Sublime Org Extended gets close. An impressive org-like, but only tangles files 1:1 so far.

Been waiting for #ExoOne. First thoughts:

  • oh. There’s a story!

  • It’s like Stanley Kubrick’s Marble Madness

  • Whee I’m a skipping stone!

  • perty

“The biggest challenge of writing [internal tool] is getting people to use it.”

[chorus of resigned “yeah” from the meeting attendees all with their own internal projects]

My coworker has hit on the universal internal tools dev problem.

I look at Dendron, Lektor, Logseq, and Neuron in assorted windows and an idea forms as a song starts playing in my head.

A bit more sleep-deprived than my usual bedtime #drawing, but enjoying the watercolor brush in #LineaSketch 4.

A thing I always but always advise to my friends is “misery is more expensive in the long run” and I tell you what I’m having a real time reaching over to open my work email right now.

Power’s back on, which is great. I got about two hours of sleep, which is not great.

Thing about turning doodles into designs is there’s a lot of cleanup

Affinity Photo screenshot zoomed in on a detail of a black and white image with sort of a salmon background, and many salmon patches in the drawing that need to be black or white

Not a bad kitty. Just misunderstood. Added grey, dark, and light variants but I’m not counting the variants towards my design count goal.

@hyde Threadless is indeed a US company. No idea if they ship international!
