Bookmarking with org-mode

I thought about writing a short post on how I tend to capture bookmarks using org-mode1 these days. Capture template I have following org-capture template2, defined in my Emacs configuration file based on the Doom config3, ;; Capture template ("l" "Daily Bookmarks" entry (file+headline (lambda () (personal-note 'daily)) "Bookmarks") "** %(org-cliplink-capture)%?\n" :unnarrowed t) ;; Utility function (defun personal-note (ntype) (cond ((string= 'daily ntype) (concat org-directory (format-time-string "/%Y/%B_%-e.org"))) ((string= 'work ntype) (concat org-directory (format-time-string "/work/%Y/note_%m_%d.

Bookmark with Org-capture

I was reading, and watching, Mike Zamansky’s blog post series about org-capture and how he manages his bookmarks. His blog and video series are a big recommendation from me, he is teaching me tons every time I watch his videos. His inspirational videos were what made me dig down on how I could do what he’s doing but… my way… I stumbled across this blog post that describes the process of using org-cliplink to insert the title of the post into an org-mode link. Basically, what I wanted to do is provide a link and get an org-mode link. Sounds simple enough. Let’s dig in.

Crawlers

A few months back, I wrote about how Google is breaking its social contract with the web, harvesting our content not in order to send search traffic to relevant results, but to feed a large language model that will spew auto-completed sentences instead. I still think Chris put it best: I just think it’s fuckin’ rude. When it comes to the crawlers that are ingesting our words to feed large language models, Neil Clarke describes the situtation: It should be strictly opt-in. No one sh...

Thoughts on writing my first game. If I Can Do It, Maybe You Can, Too Many Gold Machine readers do not follow the contemporary interactive fiction scene closely. Likewise, many contemporary IF players do not read a lot of game criticism about the Infocom catalog. Still, there is a lot of overlap and cross-pollination that goes on. That being so, I think some–not all, and that’s ok–readers will be interested in my recent experiences writing a text adventure game called Repeat the End...

On the Psychology of “Tech Money”

Reading Time: 11 minutes One time, a literal millionaire purchased a coffee for me while he was pitching me to come work for him as an engineer. I splurged and asked for a vanilla latte (about $6). a latte After we spoke about the position, I told him I didn’t think I was a fit and explained my reasons why, none of which were personal. It was an “I could probably do this job, but I’m not uniquely qualified to do it” type of situation. He texted me within the hour to ask for hi...

The fediverse and the indieweb

I love the indieweb and what it stands for:When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Too many companies have gone out of business and lost all of their users’ data. By joining the IndieWeb, your content stays yours and in your control.This principle is absolutely true, but on a deeper level, I’m also uncomfortable with the level of wealth hoarding and rent seeking on the modern internet. There’s no need for us all to be pouring our conversations, identiti...

Something non-designers understandably struggle with is how to make things look good. One of those things is long form content that’s well set and readable. Luckily, CSS makes this easy, you just have to know what to change. That’s exactly what we’re going to teach you in this article.

Reframing and simplifying the idea of how to keep a Zettelkasten

Given many of the misconceptions I see online of how to keep a zettelkasten, particularly given the focus on the arcane addressing system used by Niklas Luhmann, perhaps it may be helpful to dramatically reframe the question of how to keep a zettelkasten? One page blog posts from people who’ve only recently seen the idea and are synopsizing it without a year or more practice themselves are highly confusing at best. Can I write something we don’t see enough of in spaces relating to zettelkaste...
