This is my first attempt at weekly posts. I created an organizational schema and setup the files to begin the work. One of the things this week that I accomplished was the use of Aider to create a rapid prototype of a paired comparison analysis tool that works on the console in any operating system [...]

Well it has taken a little bit, but thanks to Getting Things Gnome! (GTG!), I installed Aider and Ollama and began some vibe coding. Prior to this, I have written data science code in Python and R and produced some GUI applications for Linux. I also developed some software that is in the Windows store, [...]

QOwnNotes and Zettelkästen

I love Joplin, but Joplin seems more like an incredible file cabinet and set of bookshelves. It is possible to link from one note to another, but a Joplin icon appears by that link in the text. It can also be cumbersome to navigate between multiple documents while working on one. Joplin recently added the [...]

Picking a tool for zettelkasten

It is a very challenging thing to pick a tool to invest time into building a personal knowledgebase. I have used numerous tools over the years and collected a huge number of documents and notes. Logseq integrates with Zotero which might prove useful due the gigabytes of material that I have stored there. My plan [...]

I discovered Trilium.  The license is great.  The software is mind-blowing.   I found it as part of my desire to migrate away from Obsidian. They have a repository at https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium. Via an advertisement there, I discovered https://www.warp.dev/code which looks like an most incredible resource.   That may be how applications like Trillium have such incredible documentation and [...]

Joplin is the beautiful open source replacement for Evernote. Once upon a time, Evernote was a dream app, but then they sent out an atrocious terms of service change after turning their user interface into drab garbage compared to the old colorful beauty that existed in version 4 and before. Joplin is fully functional and [...]
