I feel like using Blot today, so 👋🏻! Do you know why this happens? I’ll tell you…it’s Emacs. Every day I wonder if today is the day I’ll stop using Emacs. Some days it happens, but then the next morning I’m back. This is one of those mornings. I have a nice lisp function for creating new Blot posts, which makes writing posts as easy as with things like WordPress (image handling not included). So today, I’m here.
There’s nothing at all on the calendar today, and I can probably ignore most of my todo list. I’m sure this is why I’m switching blogs and apps and journals and everything. Too much time on my hands is a dangerous thing.
Some days I feel like sitting up straight with my hands on the home row and on those days, Emacs is king. Other days, I want to lean back and plink around using only the mouse and maybe type a few things once in a while. On those days, just about anything but Emacs is better.
I need a (digital) junk drawer. In the past, I’ve used DEVONthink, Finder, EagleFiler, and Evernote. They all have advantages and disadvantages. I don’t think using just the Finder works. Evernote is too expensive. DEVONthink is too…much…somehow. EagleFiler is a good candidate, but sometimes feels like not much more than a fance Finder. Still noodling on it.
