I don’t understand how to use blocks vs. pages vs. documents in Craft. I may just need to use it more, but right now it’s not clicking, and is making Roam and org-roam look simpler in comparison. Will keep trying, though!

Well, thanks a lot @jack - Now I’ve opened the Pandora’s box of Craft. ;)

I’m 50 and have been typing “incorrectly” for 38 years, ever since I got a TI-99/4a computer. All this time I’ve been using nine of my 10 fingers. When I pay attention, I can get up to around 65 WPM. Is it worth learning to touch-type now?

Sat, 12 Jun 2021 22:48:57 -0400

Wow, @jack – I can’t believe I waited this long to get a fountain pen! Bought a red Lamy Safari (and a Rhodia Reverse Book) today and I love it. Thank you for the push. 😊

A Palm Zire 72 time-capsule has lessons for today

Fri, 30 Apr 2021 23:34:00 -0400

I dug my 2004-era Palm Zire 72 out of a drawer the other day for the first time in years. I thought I’d lost all the data on it until I remembered that I always used to back it up to the SD card which was still sitting in it. I restored the entire contents from that card and everything came back within a few minutes. DateBk5 calendar and to-do data, months of DayNotez journal entries, Pocket Quicken ledgers, blurry 1.2-megapixel photos, and all the varied other project plans and shopping lists that lived in the stock apps and databases. So many tasks that never got done. It was a complete snapshot of where I put the bulk of my day-to-day data for a couple of years.

I noticed that the built-in global search in Palm OS works way, way better than the one on iOS. The Palm having much less data to sift through is probably an advantage here, but it’s still much faster and more elegant at surfacing what matches the thing you’re looking for and its context, and then taking you through a worm-hole directly to the record you tapped on.

As I paged through DayNotez and the cute little post-it note icons that meant “more details here” in so many stock apps, I saw names of people I’d since forgotten. I wished I’d written more journal entries. I wished I’d made more art and worked on more music projects. And for all the fixating I do on note-taking now, for the first time I did not wish I had taken more notes back then on things like trivia, politics, media, news, quotes, apps, etc.

Now this looks fun, and an excuse to buy a not-that-expensive photo printer:

The Shoebox Project — laROQUE

Why do it myself instead of using a printing service? That paper, for one. I’ve never found a single shop that offers paper I like for small prints. But also because, as I said earlier, for me, the joy comes from creating these, slowly, on my own time. It feels like craftwork and connects me to the printed images.

Sat, 03 Apr 2021 21:30:00 -0400

Thank you to @tgray for sharing his presets and knowledge about how to make photos from the Ricoh GR look even more amazing in Lightroom. The camera arrived yesterday and it is definitely the right one for me.

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 23:41:00 -0400

One thing I don’t know how to address in Johnny.Decimal: Where to put things along the spectrum of widely available/low security <—> reduced access/high security. Oh, and also the small capacity <—> big capacity continuum. Like, I have a small pile of non-sensitive random files in Google Drive that are mostly there to share with people, a bunch more less-random stuff in Dropbox that stays there because it’s easy to sync with and edit on mobile and I pay for lots of space, and a ton of more sensitive documents only on my MacBook and an external drive where I have gobs of space and certain tools only available on the laptop. I don’t think I’m supposed to duplicate all of the same folders across all these storage platforms, but I guess any categories + IDs that do make it to those platforms are supposed to stay consistent, even if the platforms hold different pieces of the entire J.D universe of files?

Using iOS Shortcuts to horizontally combine photos

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 00:39:35 -0400

Sometimes today’s notes in the Field Notes bullet journal are split across pages and it takes more than one shot to get them in the iPhone. Depending on where the day starts and ends on whichever paper pages, I might end up with two square images to capture the day’s scribbles. I’d rather see those in Roam side-by-side instead of as images stacked on top of each other. I made a Combine Images Horizontally iOS Shortcut to accept one or more selected images in the Photos app, combine them horizontally, save them as a new photo, and then go to the most recent photos in the camera roll to get out of the “image selection” mode. Here’s what it looks like:

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 23:34:48 -0400

I’d love a journal app with built-in limitations on the number of lines per day, the way Tot is limited in its total number of notes. Give me 10–12 lines/day and I’ll fit all the “this happened today” bullets in. Roam is great for notes, but it gives me almost too much freedom.

An email to Andrew about Roam

Thu, 15 Oct 2020 23:20:00 -0400

My friend Andrew emailed me the other day to ask how I was liking Roam Research now that I’ve gone all-in on it. It turns out, I had some thoughts. :) He gave me permission to share my lengthy reply to him. It helped me think through some stuff, and I hope it’s useful to others!

Hi Andrew! First of all, thank you for taking the time to wade through my Roam! Yes, I just scrolled through the past few days of my stuff and it does turn out to be quite a lot. I should write a proper blog post about where all the content originates. A lot of it—probably more than half—starts in Drafts on my phone. Each morning, I start a yyyy-mm-dd daily notes draft in Drafts and that’s where I lob links and quotes and random thoughts in Markdown format. (I never add stuff to Roam on the phone. I may be superstitious, but I think that’s asking for syncing trouble.) I paste that Daily Notes draft into Roam once or twice each day on my MacBook and clean up formatting and add wiki links where they’re needed. The rest of the notes I just write directly in Roam while thinking out loud when I’m processing that stuff or grabbing a few extra links from Safari.

I was on org-roam (in Doom Emacs) for a nice little bit, and it’s still just amazing and I miss the tactility of it, but the mental overhead with Emacs was too great. Org-roam was the best at dealing with filenames and aliases, though. It’s so smart about removing the worry about filesystem-safe characters, and its method of item aliasing makes it so easy to refer to one thing by many names.

Then I went with Obsidian for a long time for a few reasons:

There was zero “how do I use this” overhead with it compared to Emacs + org-roam. It’s just a Markdown editor, and Markdown is in my bones. I kept having to wrestle with org-mode formatting to make stuff readable.
There was a time a few months ago when Roam kept losing peoples’ data and I’d hear horror story after horror story about it. I think they’ve upgraded their infrastructure enough now that I don’t see that happen anymore. At least I don’t think it’s bitten me yet.
I really wanted to keep my files local, partially because I’m old and I still think in files and folders, and also because I thought that having them all in Dropbox would be the only way I’d be able to reliably search and access them from my phone. I also thought I’d edit them on my phone more often (which I haven’t felt the need to do, actually). And there’s the geek factor of being able to do a Spotlight search on the Mac that pulls up any files stored on it.
I still prefer how Obsidian properly handles Markdown blockquotes. That kept me in Obsidian probably more than anything. I don’t know why Roam doesn’t obey the > character and treat it like a blockquote like every other Markdown-based app in the world.

What finally pushed me over the edge and back to Roam was that:

They seemed to have fixed the data syncing problems.
Jack jumped back in 1000%.
I even heard David Sparks of Mac Power Users getting excited about it.
The Roam owners increased their staff (I guess because they got that round of VC funding) and felt like the service was robust enough to charge for it. I actually love paying for things I use at lot, so that made it feel like it wasn’t going anywhere.
The more I saw new people jump on the bandwagon, the more I just felt like I was missing out.

Also, that push from Jack and Kevin on Micro.blog to make a public Roam DB helped. :)

Now that I’m back in it, here’s what I think:

Having to think about what to name a file about a note sucks. With Roam, I don’t even have to create “pages”. Every bullet is addressable and if you focus on a particular bullet, it acts like a page anyway.
Obsidian does a lite version of transclusion/embedding, but it’s nowhere near as good or seamless as Roam’s.
Roam’s automatic backlinks are just the best. So nicely presented and easy to jump back and forth with.

Roam is so good at everything else that I don’t care that it’s stored in the cloud, I don’t care that much anymore about the blockquotes, and I can live with how it isn’t good at aliases at all. Once I really started using it for everything, I just got addicted to the lack of friction. I don’t create many “pages” anymore. I just add stuff to Daily Notes and nest it under whatever page-like tag, or add a hashtag to the end. It makes Obsidian feel primitive and it makes my dear TiddlyWiki feel clumsy (where you have to worry about opening and closing tiddlers and making sure you don’t lose a draft of a tiddler).

Roam is even good enough that I have a whole separate private database that everything goes into first. 95% of what’s in there ends up copied to the public database, but because it’s all Roam, I don’t have to reformat anything to get it from private to public.

I’m still brand new to Readwise, so I’m figuring it out as I go and haven’t pasted those pages into the public DB. I like what I’ve seen other people use it for, though.

The biggest things that make me believe that Roam is the right app for me now are:

I never think about using anything else.
I never think about the $15 USD/month. It’s worth it.

I’ll admit that when the Roam dudes were tossing around the idea of charging $30/mo for it, I was seriously doubtful that I’d hang in there for that. I still don’t know if I’d be using it if it were that expensive. When they announced $15/mo, our lizard brains were so collectively relieved that that seemed like a bargain in comparison.

I suspected for a while that I’d probably end up back in Roam anyway, and I also knew that I couldn’t think my way through it without trying it again. And here I am!

When adding a new drive to Backblaze in Mojave, you may need to revoke and re-grant Full Disk Access

Sun, 20 Sep 2020 12:43:00 -0400

While trying to add the new Samsung T5 SSD (formatted with APFS) to the Backblaze Backup preference pane on macOS Mojave, I got this error message:

Backblaze could not create a read-writable ‘.bzvol’ directory on that hard drive.

Permissions on that drive are 774, and for that .bzvol folder they’re 777. Also, the drive is set to “Ignore ownership on this volume” anyway, so I didn’t think it was permissions.

Hmm. A Backblaze rep answered a Reddit question and their answer had all kinds of terrible-looking workarounds that I didn’t want to try yet. But this responder had the same symptom I have:

I have this exact same circumstance. Claims it can’t create it, but when I examine the disk there is a folder named .bzvol present with permissions set to 777 owned by me. I should note that the drive does have the Ignore ownership on this volume set (which macOS seems to do by default when you init a new drive or partition). Perhaps that’s the problem?

Your External Drive Is No Longer Backed Up – Backblaze
Nothing helpful there.

ERROR: Backblaze could not create a read-writable ‘.bzvol’ directory on that hard drive – Backblaze Help
That page was from 2015, and I’d already done some work on files moved to the drive, so I wasn’t going to change it to HFS+. Plus, you’re supposed to use APFS on SSDs anyway.

Allowing Backblaze to Back Up External Drives - MacOS Catalina – Backblaze Help
Well, I’m not on Catalina yet, and I didn’t see a bzbmenu app or preference pane to give access to.

But I did of course see Backblaze in the Security & Privacy window with Full Disk Access already:

So I wondered what would happen if I removed Backblaze from the list, locked the preference pane, unlocked the preference pane, re-added Backblaze, and locked the preference pane again.

I did all that and went back into the Backblaze Backup preference pane > Settings > Select Hard Drives to Backup, clicked the new SSD drive, and it worked.

How do normal people deal with this?

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 08:28:22 -0400

For me, turntables are the Emacs of audio: effort + research to understand what at first looks simple, endless tweaking, lots of variables and settings, inefficient, require manual work, glorious once they’re tuned, easy to obsess about, and more fun than any other similar tool.

Keychron K2 keyboard

Thu, 30 Jul 2020 00:55:00 -0400

Five days into the Keychron K2 and here’s what I think. It’s definitely a good “starter” keyboard for someone who has only used membrane keyboards, or last used a mechanical 30 years ago (me).

The good:

It’s very nice looking, and I got the white LED version with the plastic case and ABS keys.
The orange ESC key is beautiful, but only when the LEDs are off. (When they’re on, you can see how thin the keycaps are because the light shines through the orange.)
The Windows/MacOS switch is so, so handy.
It does Bluetooth which is great for hooking it to a phone or iPad, but I hardly ever use that. When it’s connected to a PC or Mac, I use the USB cable because I don’t want to worry about any latency.
The Gateron Brown switches are nice. I don’t know how close they are to Cherry MX Brown switches. The Browns have very subtle tactility. Any more subtle and they would feel linear.
The case doesn’t flex even though it’s plastic.
It’s $75!

The not so good:

Not programmable. (But it’s $75!)
The bottoming-out is loud and not for me.
As mentioned above, the keycaps are very thin, which is apparent when you pull one off and turn it over.
I’m pretty sure the keycaps are (shudder) painted. One of the priorities of my life is to have as little painted plastic around as possible. To have it on something I’m typing on all day is gross, even if the paint is kind of nice paint.
The case is high enough that it will savage your wrists if you don’t use a wrist rest.
All the wasted space in the case is like a tiny cavern for the bottoming-out to reverberate in.
A few keys are squeaky and I can feel them scraping the switch housing when pressed (e.g. Backspace). But I don’t believe these are meant to be lubed by the customer, so I’m not going there.
The right column of Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End is in a weird order and I can’t get used to it. I don’t really have a choice, though.
The Delete key is in a weird spot.

Tweaks:

I added clear o-rings to all the keys except Return, Backspace, and the Shift keys. All the ones with stabilizers I left as-is (except for Space) because I didn’t want to make them feel mushier. For all the no-stabilizer keys, the o-rings really help, but you can’t just slap them on there and expect the keyboard to feel ok. You have to use the keycap puller tool and press the o-ring around the stem all the way down, and then press the key firmly back onto the board when the ring is seated. If you don’t do this, the keys will feel inconsistent relative to each other. And because the bottoming-out is still a little bit loud, I ordered two more sets of different o-rings today (WASD red and blue) to see how they do. I’d be ok with giving up a fraction of space in travel for quieter keys. UPDATE: The WASD reds are great (haven’t gotten the blues yet) and an improvement on the clear no-name ones. Also, just press them onto the end of the stem (don’t push them all the way down like I wrote earlier) and then push each keycap firmly down to seat the o-ring. If you press the o-rings all the way down on the stem they don’t work as well.
I opened the case up and stuck two to three layers of scraps from a yoga mat and a rubber shelf liner in all the voids (with more layers towards the back where the case is higher), being careful to leave space on the left for the switches, USB-C port, and what looks like a small electrolytic capacitor jutting down. This improves the keyboard massively, making it a little heavier, more solid, and much quieter and more expensive-sounding.
The Keychron wrist rest (sold separately) is solid wood and the perfect height and width for the keyboard, but at least in our humid summer, it warps enough that it becomes a tiny bit convex and the left and right rubber pads/feet don’t sit flat on the desk. After about three minutes of use, I learned how much I lean the ball of my left hand on the wrist rest, because the right side kept popping up when I would move to grab the mouse. That’s a deal-killer. I fixed that by cutting some 5mm strips from an old neoprene mouse pad and sticking them to the bottom of the wood with the adhesive from a tape runner. The mouse pad pieces are just a hair thicker than the OEM rubber feet pads, so now it doesn’t move at all, ever. It’s such a pleasure to not have it knocking around all the time.
I’m very excited about the PBT keycaps I ordered today. They’re opaque, so that’s a little sad, and they have no multimedia legends on them, but they look thick and not painted and the colors are fantastic. Supposedly they’ll sound different/quieter.

I know I could avoid a lot of these tweaks by just getting a Happy Hacking Keyboard or a Leopold FC660C, but the former has no arrow keys, and the latter is always out of stock. And to scratch the itch of needing 1.) a new toy to play with and 2.) stuff to research and obsess over, the K2 is doing the job well!

When your MacBook Roon endpoint shows up as a green dot

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:31:00 -0400

This post is for Kevin on Micro.blog, who is having issues where his MacBook endpoint in Roon shows up as a green dot.

This Roon page about signal paths explains what the green dot means:

While the Mac software mixer does not do anything too gross, it might be performing software-based volume adjustments or sample rate conversion before playing the audio. As such, we can’t guarantee that the output quality is lossless, so we label it as “High Quality”.

So, it might be lossless or it might not. Roon can’t be sure. The solution is in this Roon community post: Os mixer problem with new Mac mini

You have used System Output rather than Built-In Output under Settings > Audio.

To fix it, disable the “System Output” device on your Mac in your Roon settings (under “Settings > Audio” as the post describes). You want to enable the “Built-in Output” (which I renamed to “MacBook Built-in Output” in my Roon settings).

And then in the Device Setup for that output, be sure to set Exclusive Mode to Yes.

Now when you use your new “Built-in Output” device to play music, you should see purple (lossless) all the way.

Last weekend we were cleaning out and rearranging. I collected all the journals I could find and managed to fit every one in that blue tub. I love that these are all sprawled out on the kitchen floor in this decidedly unsexy, un-minimal photo. What a glorious mess!

Sun, 05 Jul 2020 19:56:11 -0400

I can’t believe I didn’t care about seeing “Hamilton” sooner. I watched it (for the first time) along with the rest of the world on Disney+ on Friday night. I didn’t expect historical accuracy or the full context of everything else going on at the time, so I’m ok with it being an incomplete picture of Hamilton’s virtues and flaws, and a rosy, shallow picture of the American Revolution. But as an artistic feat of vision, acting, singing, craft, composition, lyrics, dance, and set design, it’s utterly perfect. Overwhelming, even. I just don’t know enough about theatre to have any idea of how all those facets of a production can come together so perfectly and in the right sequence to pull off a show like this, but watching it gave me a sense of what’s it’s like to experience a bunch of Broadway luminaries at the top of their powers. Wow!

Sat, 20 Jun 2020 09:55:48 -0400

Well, that’s done! @canion
