How come that people are working with tools (and content) like #Confluence, #Jira, #Webbrowsers in general, #Word, ... and don't have external #monitors in portrait orientation? 🤔 🤷 #PIM
Can only guess. I have a portrait monitor everywhere I have a PC setup. 😄
a) mediamarkt never demonstrates this for them? 😅
b) you need at least a 1200x1920 screen for portrait orientation. 1080 is just too narrow. They were not common last time I shopped for a portrait monitor
Learned about a nice #pim#selforganization idea today:
Tagging your #todolist according to mood and energy level best suited to the task:
E.g.
todos for when you are exhausted and just want to relax: watch that movie you always wanted to see
Todo for when you are motivated and full of energy: get that thing started you've been putting off.
Todos for when you want to do something to pass the time or focus thoughts on something mundane.
"Nimm doch Markdown", haben sie gesagt.
"Das ist total einfach", haben sie gesagt.
"Damit arbeitet man ganz flott", haben sie gesagt.
"Das funktioniert in ganz vielen Editoren", haben sie gesagt.
Ich persönlich habe den Vorteil, dass ich bereit bin, für ein gutes Werkzeug auch dazulernen zu wollen. Das ermöglicht mir beispielsweise https://karl-voit.at/2020/01/20/start-using-orgmode/ was mich vermutlich mein restliches Leben(!) begleiten wird.
Und es kann 1000x mehr als Obsidian jemals können wird.
Did you know that I developed a local file management method that includes #tags? https://karl-voit.at/managing-digital-photographs/ including a 45min talk which is worth watching just because I held it while being half ill. 😜
It comes with a set of (Python-)tools that provide great assistance for adding and managing tags, date-stamps, time-stamps, ...
For anybody working with #Firefox (and you really should using this browser in order to keep the Internet as is!), the #PIM#tips on that page are a must-read.
E.g., the search bar has some nice filter tricks, selecting text within links, show context menu even if site prevents it, 2 methods to duplicate tabs, mute tabs, work with sets of tabs, direct access shortcuts to tabs, ...
Ich dokumentiere immer alle Einstellungen, die ich bei Software verändere/anpasse. Zum Beispiel bei Thunderbird, Brave und Co. Das liegt bei mir lokal. Meine Idee ist nun: Das online im Blog zu dokumentieren. Was haltet ihr davon?
@popey All valid points from a #PIM perspective, I agree and totally understand.
Most of them can be mitigated with #Firefox add-ons I'm using since many years.
But that's not the reason why I'm commenting here.
If everybody is using #Chrome or #Chromium-based browsers (Blink) because it's more convenient, there is no alternative to "go back" any more once one megacorp is controlling the #WWW and its only browser engine left.
Wrote a post providing some hard-learned guidance on defining tasks in #OrgMode. There are so many ways to define a task but some work better than others, particularly with agenda views.
A student can't afford to pay the $8 per month for #Obsidian sync, so builds a #FOSS alternative. Then posts to HN and says "I probably violate ToS, so will take down the repo if asked".
Then the Obsidian CEO replies. Explains they aren't VC-funded and the $8 bucks subscription keeps the light on. Applauds the work of the student, points to other open ways that content sync can be handled and gives advice "if you rename, there's no ToS problem". 👍
I gave up trying to explain to normal people why, when we interchange documents, the names of the files I send back to them never have any spaces in them.
I avoided spaces and used 7 Bit ASCII myself for many years.
Since probably a decade, I don't see any issue with spaces. I even started to embrace German Umlaute like äöü or ß without noticing any issue. Even zsh completion is working perfectly fine with those characters. 🤷
