+Title: A reMarkable Tablet
+
+----
+
+Summary: 
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+You’ll find a paper notebook near me most of the time. Writing on paper helps me remember things better than typing notes into an app on a computer. Because I’m a visual thinker, writing on paper helps me find things later. I tend to remember, spacially, where I write things; as in, “It’s in the lower left corner toward the front.”
+
+I thought Apple’s iPad and Pencil would be ideal for taking notes. They aren’t. The combination of iPad and Pencil is an amazing bit of technology, but using an iPad as a notebook sucks. Writing on an iPad feels like using a somewhat clumsy input device through glass onto a computer. I tried the screen covers that are supposed to make writing on an iPad feel more like paper. They don’t. And worse, the rest of the iPad’s features (along with the entire internet) are always right there, lurking behind the glass, waiting to distract me.
+
+The [reMarkable tablet](https://remarkable.com/) is billed as “the only tablet that feels like paper,” so I was of course intrigued. Skeptical, but curious. I wondered if it could really replace my paper notebooks even after the iPad failed.
+
+(image: at-a-glance.jpg)
+
+Turns out that, yes, it can.
+
+I love the reMarkable tablet, and here’s why.
+
+**It really does feel a lot like paper**. The first time I wrote on it I was like, “Woah, that’s nice!” It’s enough like paper that I’m not distracted by how it feels.
+
+**I love the hardware**. The device looks and feels great. Solid. It’s as thin as a half-used legal pad. The pen is light but not too light. And speaking of the pen, I bought the fancy one with an “eraser”. The eraser takes a minute to get used to, but is exactly the right thing. The pen doesn’t use a battery, so there’s never that fear of not being able to write because I forgot to charge it.
+
+**I love the look of the screen.** It looks like paper. There’s no backlight, which many consider a missing feature. I don’t. It’s very easy on the eyes. It’s cool that I can choose the type of “paper”. No more fretting about which type of notebook to buy. Should I choose lined paper or do I go with a dot grid pattern? Doesn’t matter, now I can have all of them any time I want.
+
+**Battery life is great**. The battery lasts long enough so that I’m not always thinking about the battery. I charged mine a couple days ago and it’s now at 87%.
+
+**It’s always ready.** Using an iPad for writing is acceptable if I’m specifically sitting down to write for a while, but it’s less useful for general note taking. The reMarkable is always ready. I have mine set to sleep after 20 minutes. If it does happen to fall asleep while I’m thinking or doing something else, I just tap the button at the top left and it’s ready to go in less than a second. The iPad, on the other hand, needs to sleep much sooner if I want the battery to last through a couple of meetings. And when the iPad does fall asleep (as it always does) I have to tap to wake, then swipe up, then lean over so FaceID works (and it often doesn’t, so then I must also enter my pass code). This makes the iPad an unacceptable replacement for paper. The always-ready feeling of the reMarkable might be the most meaningful difference between it and the iPad. It’s not as ready as paper, but it’s close.
+
+**I love the lack of features.** What I love most about the reMarkable tablet is what it _doesn’t_ do, which is just about everything. There’s nothing else there[^1]. I can write and organize notes and sketches. That’s it. There’s nothing lurking behind a swipe or a notification. If I want, I can see all my notes on the companion apps on my Mac and iOS devices. I can convert my handwriting to text and email it to myself. That’s how I wrote this post, in fact. It worked great.
+
+(image: remarkable.jpg)
+
+Many of the reviews I’ve read have focused on all the features that the reMarkable 2 *doesn't* have. They miss the fact that those missing features are the greatest *feature* of the reMarkable. The reMarkable tablet is not much more than a stack of flexible notebooks, and that’s all I wanted.
+
+[^1]: Well, I can read and write on PDFs but that is likely something I will only occasionally do.

+Title: reMarkable is sleeping
+
+----
+
+Summary: 
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+I’ve been using the [reMarkable 2 tablet](https://remarkable.com/) for almost three months now. I’m often asked what I think of it. The short answer is this:
+
+> I use the reMarkable tablet every day. I love writing on it, but it won’t be replacing my paper notebooks.
+
+If you are thinking about getting one, I have no reservations recommending that you do. The hardware is very nice and the experience of writing on it is terrific. It’s not exactly like paper, but it does feel analog. It feels “real”, unlike using the iPad and Apple Pencil, which feels like writing on a computer screen.
+
+Here are what I’ve been using it for:
+
+*   **Morning pages**. I don’t write morning pages as a practice, but I often open a new page first thing in the morning and make marks on it.
+*   **Brainstorming**. The reMarkable is great for sitting down, away from the computer, and thinking something through. Sketches, scribbles, and a few notes are a perfect use for the tablet.
+*   **Drafting blog posts**. I’m drafting this very post using it.
+    
+(image: 2021-04-30-remarkable.jpg)
+
+A common thread here is that they’re all throw-away notes. I have not been using the reMarkable for things I’ll want to reference later. It’s great for raw materials to be used later in some other format, but less so for long-term notes. I find that it’s still too much trouble to quickly jump between notes on the reMarkable. Swiping from page to page is slow, and getting to an overview of a notebook’s pages requires tap, wait, tap, wait, tap, and wait. This makes paging around in a notebook rather cumbersome for certain things.
+
+I use the reMarkable nearly every day, but only a little. It spends most of its time sleeping.
+
+I keep a paper notebook open on my desk, not the reMarkable. The reMarkable wakes quickly at the touch of a button, but a paper notebook never sleeps.
+
+(image: 2021-04-30-remarkable-and-paper-notebooks.jpg)
+
+I use paper for:
+
+*   **Personal journaling**. Nothing beats paper and a nice fountain pen.
+*   **Tasks and quick notes**. This is my lightweight version of bullet journaling.
+*   **Jotting things down**. Phone numbers, names, anything I need to remember.
+
+As great and convenient as digital tools like the reMarkable are, there is one thing about paper notebooks that I never want to live without, and that is the artifact itself. There is no substitute for a shelf lined with full notebooks. I can pick one up today, or in twenty years, and easily skim around in it. No digital format, as convenient as they may be, can replace that.

+Title: Software that sparks joy
+
+----
+
+Summary: 
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+I’m just coming off a week using Obsidian. Obsidian is really good and powerful and easy to use and extensible and probably the correct answer to the question, “Where should I keep my notes?”.
+
+I love Obsidian for a minute because of what it does and the fact that it’s not whatever I’d been using previously. It’s refreshing and finding new plugins to play with is good fun. But it’s janky. Why don’t more people complain about it being janky? It’s just blech to actually live in. It feels weird and loose and sloppy to me.
+
+I don’t enjoy using Obsidian. At all. It sparks zero joy.
+
+The whole Kondo-ian “Sparks Joy” thing is cliche by now, but it’s a useful guage for measuring the long-term viability of a thing.
+
+So, what software sparks joy for me? Here are a few recent examples.
+
+[Tinderbox](https://eastgate.com/Tinderbox) has been sparking joy for me since the early 2000s. It’s a powerful outlining, concept mapping, note taking, timelining, researching, and publishing tool. Its author is thoughtful, helpful, and continues to improve Tinderbox in meaningful ways. The community is smart, very helpful, and spends its time solving real problems rather than competing in the PKM influencer space.
+
+[TiddlyWiki](https://tiddlywiki.com/) is weird and fun and clever and I’ve dumped nearly 4,000 notes in my public wiki at [wiki.baty.net](https://wiki.baty.net/). It is a single HTML file that runs in a browser. It has a weird but powerful internal scripting language. It’s a sort of [Quine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing)) in that it uses itself to make itself. I often consider other tools for creating this sort of knowledgebase, but TiddlyWiki is too fun so I continue pouring stuff into it.
+
+[Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) is of course something I dig probably more than anything. What’s not to like? It’s free, old-school, infinitely extensible, wildly powerful, and as nerdy as it gets. I have ten years worth of my “stuff” in Emacs (mostly as [Org-mode](https://orgmode.org/) files). I can make Emacs do anything. And writing Org files in Emacs is such a pleasure. The text feels “tight”, you know? Not like Obsidian. I’m writing this post in Emacs in markdown-mode and holy cow it’s a nice way to write. I sometimes try to stop using Emacs because I get “tool-sick”, but it rarely lasts more than a week. So much joy.
+
+Those are the top 3 joy-sparking apps at the moment. Others include [Curio](https://zengobi.com/curio/), [BBEdit](https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.html), [Things](https://culturedcode.com/things/), [CleanShot](https://cleanshot.com/), and certainly more that I’m forgetting.
+
+I almost forgot, [Blot.im](https://blot.im/) sparks a ton of blogging joy, which is why I’m posting this here.
+
+Software can be so much fun. Too much, maybe, as it becomes a distraction and constant cause of churn in my brain. But fun is fun and joy is joy and what could be wrong with that?

+For many years I’ve put every new folder full of anything into a new Git repo. I never questioned it, I just did it because that’s what you do.

Also, I’ll need it if I ever decide to use Github Pages for hosting, etc.

+Title: Creating a WARC web archive using wget
+
+----
+
+Summary: 
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+I’ve been tinkering with keeping offline copies of websites (mostly mine), and have always used either wget or httrack. I wasn’t aware of the [WARC format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WARC_(file_format)) until recently, so I thought I’d try creating a few WARC archives.
+
+[wget](https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/), as it happens, has WARC support built in via the –warc-file option. I added that to my usual set of switches and put it all in a shell script, like so.
+
+```sh
+#!/bin/sh
+# warc-archive.sh https://example.com warc-file-name
+
+wget \
+	--mirror \
+	--warc-file=$2 \
+	--warc-cdx \
+	--page-requisites \
+	--html-extension \
+	--execute robots=off \
+	--directory-prefix=. \
+	--wait=1 \
+	--random-wait \
+	$1
+```
+
+This creates a compressed, self-contained WARC file along with a mirrored set of files comprising the entire site.
+
+Actually reading the WARC files is the tricky part. As far as I can tell the easiest way is using [Replay Web.page](https://replayweb.page/). Drag the website.warc.gz file into the browser and from there you can search for documents, images, etc. and browse the site completely offline.
+
+It’s a little convoluted and I’m still confused about what goes where, but it seems pretty handy having a single-file, self-contained, offline archive of an entire website.

+Title: Nuke & Pave - the half-hearted edition
+
+----
+
+Summary: <p>A tactical, localized reset of my system(s)</p>
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+"Nuke & Pave" typically means wiping a computer's hard drive and installing everything from scratch. That's not what I'm doing (although it is tempting). What I'm doing is more like a precision strike. (I'll stop using military analogies, now. They're gross.)
+
+Things get out of hand, and when they do I need a reset. Right now my blogs, email, file-storage, and note-taking are all very much out of hand. I'm writing this post as a way to sort it out in my head.
+
+**Blogging**. I've been posting to four websites for a couple of weeks. It starts innocently enough, but then I get to a space where I want to write something but don't because I can't decide where it should go. I'm dropping everything but the wiki and this blog at baty.net.
+
+**Email**. OMG [Mutt](http://www.mutt.org/) is so great. So is [Notmuch](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Notmuch) and [Mu4e](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/mu4e) and even Apple Mail. I've been switching between them for a while now and it's done nothing but mess with my muscle memory and cause weird sync issues. I don't get that much email, so I'll be dropping back to Apple Mail in the near term. I'll still be running mbsync daily just to have a nice local Mailbox copy of all my mail.
+
+**Note taking**. Good grief, it's been a rough couple of weeks on the note-taking front. Face it, I'm an Emacs guy. I've been an Emacs guy for more than a decade. And yet, I found myself spending many hours installing and configuring [NeoVim](https://neovim.io/) and [LazyVim](https://www.lazyvim.org/) for some reason. It's not completely crazy, as I still use Vim as my $EDITOR, but that's only for popping in and out of simple text or config files. I need to stay in Emacs. I'll keep the Vim stuff around because I've done all that work, but there's no way I'm going to live there. And Obsidian can fuck right off.
+
+I got mad recently because I wanted to jot something down and didn't know where to put it. I launched [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) because Daily Notes work great there. Stop it! To help avoid that urge, I've added some quality of life improvements to my Org-mode/Denote setup. Let's hope that works. 
+
+I don't know where this leaves [Tinderbox](https://eastgate.com/Tinderbox). Still noodling on that one.
+
+Otherwise, my notes go in [Denote](https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote) files using Emacs or in [TiddlyWiki](https://tiddlywiki.com/).
+
+**File Storage**. This one I haven't dealt with yet. I have files scattered everywhere and it's crazy-making. There's the Synology with my archives, but there's also the Mac Mini with what was going to be my Archives until I chickened out. Now there's some files in both places and some in one or the other. Not cool. I'm currently leaning toward punting on the Mini and putting it all back on the Synology.
+
+There are a few more areas that need a reset. I'll get to them later.

+Title: Whatever happened to my junk drawer?
+
+----
+
+Summary: <p>I used to use Evernote as a junk drawer. Now what should I use?</p>
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+In a post from 2013, [Digital Recordkeeping](https://archive.baty.net/2013/digital-recordkeeping/), I summed up my tools like this:
+
+> Tinderbox is my notebook. Evernote is my junk drawer. DEVONthink is my filing cabinet.
+
+I was onto something back then. It has occurred to me is that I no longer have a dedicated tool to use as a Junk Drawer. Why is that?
+
+I guess what happened is that [DEVONthink](https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink) became both my file cabinet *and* junk drawer. I'm now thinking this was a mistake. DEVONthink is for carefully filing things I know I want to keep. It's for organized, longer-term storage. Things like tax documents, journal scans, etc. It shouldn't be used as my save-as-pdf-for-(maybe)-reading-later system. That way leads to chaos, which is what I have now.
+
+What does a junk drawer app need? I'd say fast, easy capture along with good search are the most important. It should be lightweight and allow for different ways of getting stuff into it, based on context.
+
+Some might say that a simple set of folders in the filesystem should work. They're right, it could, but that's still too much friction. I want to grab web pages and images and snippets of text from everywhere and just pour them into something. I'm probably not going to organize anything, so a way to see what's new and a search would be great.
+
+At some point I standardized on DEVONthink rather than the simpler [EagleFiler](https://c-command.com/eaglefiler/) for my archives. EagleFiler is great, though, and I'm thinking it would make a terrific junk drawer. I can capture things using its built-in <kbd><kbd>F1</kbd></kbd> universal capture shortcut. There's also a dedicated inbox folder that gets sucked into it automatically. And EagleFiler is really just a wrapper around a set of folders, so it's easy to back out.
+
+I miss having a dedicated junk drawer. I think EagleFiler is worth a try.

+[Perfect Days](https://letterboxd.com/film/perfect-days-2023/) was just beautiful, and exactly what I needed. I loved every simple, slow-moving moment of it.

+Title: From MacBook Pro to Mac Mini
+
+----
+
+Summary: 
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+This morning it took over 30 minutes to copy a 70MB file from my MBP to the Synology over WiFi. The wait resurfaced my thoughts about having an always-on computer on my desk with some fast, attached storage.
+
+(image: 20240308-copy.png)
+
+I just ordered an M2 Mac Mini (Pro) with 16GB RAM and a 512GB internal drive.
+
+(image: 20240308-mac-mini-order.png)
+
+Since 2021, I’ve had an over-spec’ed MacBook Pro (M1 Max) with a 2TB internal drive and 32GB of RAM. I don’t do much that requires all of that oomph, but I figured it was nice to have anyway. With the Mini, I went with the Pro version mostly for the additional ports. A smaller, 512GB internal drive should be fine, since I’ll have a number of fast SSDs always attached. I’m not worried about not having enough room for my stuff. The thing I’m most worried about is “only” 16GB RAM. I’ve had 32GB for so long that I don’t remember what it was like working with less. I’m almost certain that 16GB will be plenty for my purposes, but it still makes me a little twitchy. Plus, $1,299 still feels like relatively cheap compared to the $3k+ I spent on the MBP.
+
+The hardest part of all this will be that, since I’m keeping the MBP for mobile use, I’ll now have two Macs again. Consolidating to one machine a few years ago was such a breath of fresh air. I no longer had to worry about keeping configs updates or which folders needed syncing, etc. Now it’s all back.
+
+Keeping things synced means worrying about which apps I use, or don’t, and if they sync by default or need to be set up to do so. My org files are all in ~/Documents/org now so iCloud should take care of that[^icloud]. However, my emacs _configuration_ is in ~/.config/emacs. I’ll once again have to manage my .config files, which has always kind of sucked. I really don’t want to symlink everything and I _really_ don’t want to go back to finding some “clever” method of managing them. The answer, I think, is to use fewer things that need configuring. Good luck with that, Jack.
+
+The next step will be to figure out my storage options. I’m thinking I’d like some sort of Thunderbolt RAID thing with some SSDs inside. And also my existing backup drives. Oh, and Time Machine, for good measure. If you’ve found something you like, I’d love to hear about it.
+
+[^icloud]: I’ve experience few issues with iCloud, so this doesn’t worry me 🤞

+Title: A (small) improvement to photo display on Glass.photo
+

+
+Summary: 
+

+
+Text:
+
+I don’t like the way [Glass](https://glass.photo/) shows images in a desktop browser when the browser window is wider than around 1,000 pixels. I prefer the layout in narrower windows, but I never have mine that narrow. This means whenever I’m browsing Glass, I have to shrink the window.
+
+(image: 20240309-glass-compare.png)
+
+The Arc browser has “[Boosts](https://arc.net/boosts)” that let me easily adjust the CSS of any website, so I created one for Arc. This is it:
+
+```css
+.lg\:flex-row{flex-direction: column !important;}
+```
+
+Here’s the result:
+
+(image: 20240309-sort-of.png)
+
+This will do for now. I’ve written the Glass folks asking if there is a reason for the side-by-side default layout because I’d like to never see that layout.

+Title: I canceled my Fujifilm X100VI order
+
+----
+
+Summary: <p>As much as I would love a new X100VI, I don't actually need one.</p>
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+I tried, albeit half-heartedly, for 18 months to grab a Fujifilm X100V at a "normal" price. The X100 series are awesome cameras. I still have an original X100, and had an X100T for a while. The original X100 is just so very slow that I don't often grab it. When the new X100VI was announced, knowing they'd probably be in short supply soon, I pre-ordered one at both Adorama and B&H.
+
+After missing out on the first batch of cameras, it was clear that I was in for a long wait. This gave me time to think about cameras.
+
+I don't need a new digital camera right now. I'm barely using the ones I have, which are two very nice cameras. See for yourself...
+
+(image: cameras.jpg)
+
+The little GRIII is great for carrying everywhere and I love the files I get from it.
+
+The SL2 is for when I'm being "serious" about photographing something.
+
+Where would the X100VI fit? I suppose it would probably replace the GRIII, but the more I though about it, the clearer it became that I didn't need it, so I canceled my orders.
+
+I would love the built-in flash, optical viewfinder, and 35mm FoV, but until I start actually making photos again, I don't need a new digital camera.

+Title: OWC miniStack STX and the Mac Mini
+
+----
+
+Summary: <p>I bought a miniStack STX to go with the new M2 Mac Mini</p>
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+When I ordered the M2 Mac Mini I opted for the smaller 512GB internal SSD knowing that, since the Mini would be always-on, I could hang as much storage off it as I wanted.
+
+A hodgepodge of external drives scattered over my desk is not the prettiest setup, though. I wanted something cleaner. Something nicer-looking. I went with an [OWC miniStack STX](https://www.owc.com/solutions/ministack-stx).
+
+(image: ministack-stx-promo.png)
+
+The miniStack can be ordered pre-configured with a variety of storage options, but I figured I'd save a few bucks and set it up myself. I ordered a 2TB Gen 4 M.2 NVMe stick and a Seagate IronWolf 8TB HD. It took about 10 minutes to install both drives into the miniStack and I was ready to go.
+
+The whole point of the thing is that it is the exact dimensions of a Mac Mini. It sits underneath the Mini and so takes up zero additional desk space. This is way better than normal external drives.
+
+An important bonus with the miniStack is that it adds three Thunderbolt 4 ports (actually four ports, but one is used by the Mini->miniStack cable). 
+
+(image: ministack-promo-rear.png)
+
+There's a small catch. The PCI bus only uses one channel so top transfer speeds are limited to around 750MB/s. I don't know anything about NVMe drives or PCIe buses so I'm just taking their word for it, but my disk speed test showed around 790MB/s. That's plenty for my purposes.
+
+I still need the CalDigit hub for the SD slot, Optical audio, and extra USB-A ports. Here's what the stack looks like:
+
+(image: ministack-top-view.jpeg)
+
+(image: ministack-side-view.jpg)
+
+Setting all this up gave me an opportunity to tidy up the rest of my desk. I think it looks great.
+
+(image: full-desk-setup.jpeg)
+
+So far I've not heard any noticeable fan noise, so that's good. I do hear the HDD grinding away but that's probably due to both Spotlight and BackBlaze doing their things.
+
+The 2TB SSD will be used for working files and recent photos. The big HDD will contain the rest of my media and photo archives, along with anything else I want near-to-hand but don't need fast-transfer access to. That leaves a 1TB SSD (not shown) hanging off the back for Time Machine and the vertical 8TB HDD for nightly backups using Carbon Copy Cloner.
+
+It's a nice upgrade.

+Title: Lightroom (Classic)...again
+
+----
+
+Summary: 
+
+----
+
+Text:
+
+I switched from using Lightroom Classic (LrC) to Capture One Pro (C1) "for good" back in 2021. It wasn't because of Adobe's subscription model, or because I had some vague aversion to Adobe, the company. It was because I felt like I was getting better images, faster, with C1.  
+  
+I kept a few notes on [Lightroom Classic vs Capture One](https://wiki.baty.net/#Capture%20One%20Pro%20vs%20Lightroom%20Classic) but haven't updated it in a while, so here are a few notes about why I have moved back to Lightroom Classic.  
+  
+C1 has become laggy for me. I'm working on either a MacBook Pro M1 Max or Mini M2 Pro. Nothing should be slow on these machines, but whenever I move a slider in C1, I have to wait a couple of seconds while it catches up. This gets pretty annoying.  
+  
+C1 never seems to improve its cataloging features, which have always felt a bit lackluster. I like C1's "sessions", but then I need some other app for cataloging. I'm working on using _less_ software, not more, so cataloging is important.    
+  
+Aside from specific issues, the thing that has put me off C1 is that over the past couple years, Capture One (the company) has made some moves that have affected how I feel about C1, (the app).  
+  
+Capture One now basically forces me to pay for a subscription, and it's expensive. I know I said that subscriptions weren't the reason I switched, but that doesn't mean I _like_ subscriptions. I don't.  
+  
+More importantly, they've become increasingly focused on professional, in-studio customers. That's great for pros, but I'm just a guy who likes to take pictures. I'm paying a lot of money for software that is becoming less relevant to me.  
+  
+The latest beta update of C1 introduced a "Studio" version and includes things like Client viewers and "Live" for Studio. These are not just less useful to me, they are _useless_ to me. I started wondering if I'd be better served by Adobe. That was a surprise.  
+  
+So I forked over my $10 for the Photography Plan subscription and installed Lightroom Classic and Photoshop (still one of the best deals going, regardless of how one feels about subscriptions). I resisted the temptation to install the new Lightroom, because I know how that ends.  
+  
+I started by importing everything from 2020 through today. Since I'd used LrC for years, I was immediately comfortable. I made the few changes that LrC allows to the UI and settings, imported my old presets, set up my export templates, and was off and running.  
+  
+It was nice to have nearly-instant response while spotting film scans again. It's good to have a catalog that feels robust. LrC feels _tighter_ than C1 somehow. And the community is so big. Almost too big, honestly. It can be overwhelming. Adobe's huge ecosystem is valuable. I've never been great in Photoshop, but I'm better there than in one of the "other guys" like Affinity. And if I don't know how to do something, a dozen YouTube videos showing me how are within arm's reach.  
+  
+I'll miss some things about C1, certainly. I'll miss the wildly-customizable UI. I'll miss that hitting "Auto" is often all I need. I'll miss the fancier exports. I'll miss the culling features during imports. And if I ever _do_ get in a studio, I'll miss the flawless tethering.  
+  
+If Capture One ever decides to cater to amateurs like me as well as pros, I'll take another look, but for now, I'm in Lightroom Classic. I feel a little dirty about it, though.

+Title: Editing in the live Kirby panel
+
+----
+
+Text: I can't seem to find a comfortable workflow with Kirby. There's a really nice control panel, so editing on the server is how it *should* work. Except then I have to deal with updates to templates and blueprints etc. I've stepped on things before while trying to manage content on the server along with a dev environment locally, so I punted and started doing everything locally then pushing things live (via rsync) when ready. This is fine, but it adds a bit of friction that Kirby should be letting me avoid. So, I'm writing this in the production panel and will have to figure something out next time I have site/code updates to deploy.

+I'm kind of bored with the internet. As I read through my RSS feeds and Mastodon just now, I felt myself shrugging or rolling my eyes at everything. This has been happening a lot lately and is definitely a Me problem, but it still ruins my time online. I get it, the climate is going to kill us all, blogs are cool again, Biden is old, Apple something something, someone did something problematic and we should all hate them, AI is the devil, AI is Jesus, and so on. It's boring.
+
+I took just 3 days off social media last week and it was nice, but boring. How can I learn to not be bored while also not being on social media?

+
+Text: I've been happy following along with [Dave Rogers' recent dip](https://nice-marmot.net/Archives/2024/March_2024.html#note_1878) into Daybook/Daylog/Interstitial Journal -ing using [Tinderbox](https://eastgate.com/Tinderbox). I've kept a Daybook in Tinderbox (with a few Org-mode diversions) since 2008. One thing I've watched, but avoided, is how hard he's working to automate the process. Tinkering like that is fun, so I totally get it, but have been trying to do the opposite lately. I've been gutting any complicated workflows and avoiding the urge to "just tweak this one thing." I've failed at times, but at some point I've gotta just *use* the thing, right?

+Text:
+
+I can't seem to stop posting to my blot.im blog over on [baty.blog](https://baty.blog). This is probably because I'm usually *already* in Emacs so a quick `M-x jab/blot-new-post` means I'm off and running.
+
+Why it's so much different than visiting the Kirby panel in my browser and pushing the "+" button is a mystery. Both methods are easy. Both render to nice-looking, simple websites. Both have dependencies (Blot.im vs Kirby CMS). Honestly, I think it might be the content format in Kirby that nags me.
+
+Anyway, sorry for continuing to spread myself so thin. There's always [/everything.rss](https://baty.net/everything.rss).

I need to stick with my Reduce & Simplify plan and that means I should only have one blog. If I do that, it has to be here at [baty.net](https://baty.net) and that means it has to be Kirby. At least that's what the plan was, so I'm going back to the plan, even though it makes me twitchy. Sorry for the duplicate RSS items.

I opened it today so I could add the Reply by Email link into feed items, which is when I noticed it wasn't validating due to a non-full URL in the item->link element. I had to hardcode "https://baty.net" into the link, which is a total hack, but at least it validates.

+Text: I still have 3 blogs and a wiki. I don't know how to stop. I like writing [Markdown in Emacs](https://baty.blog). I like [using Tinderbox](https://daily.baty.net). I like the [ease of Kirby](https://baty.net). [TiddlyWiki is wonderful](https://wiki.baty.net). So it goes.

+Text: I'm finding that there's too much to think about when using Kirby. Should I edit content locally or on server? How should I handle upgrades? Routes? Kirbytext or Markdown? PHP? It's too much.
