Blogging meta-statistics as of 2023-08-27.

2011-02-02 was the day I launched https://takeonrules.com
2020-05-24 was the day I adopted #Emacs.

Pre-Emacs, I published 475 blog posts over 3,399 days with a total word count of 323,835.

Post-Emacs, I published 446 blog posts over 1,190 days with a total word count of 414,300.

There were a lot of changes in life around that 2020 pivot (Pandemic life and ending a daily commute).

#org-mode

Wrote a post on the #Emacs features and packages that I use to help me write prose in #Org and #Markdown. http://yummymelon.com/devnull/tuning-emacs-to-write-prose-in-org-and-markdown.html

Is it just me or are org babel headers really complicated? I would prefer that during export it would NOT re-evaluate my source code blocks. Sometimes I get it to work and sometimes not. #emacs #org

#+PROPERTY: header-args :exports both :results output :tangle no :eval never-export

Thanks to this response and this one, I realized that I Orgzly actually can be used with the local file system, I was just trying to sync a whole folder hierarchy and Orgzly wants to do it folder-by-folder (and manage everything in one big flat file).

I’ve been using it for about a day now and it’s actually working for me! Thanks @ryanprior and @hanno!

I am really disappointed by the current state of org mode (or just note taking in general) on Android.

I really want a simple, dedicated app where I can:

1. make a simple list or takes some notes
2. have that be saved in some plain text format that can be edited in vim or emacs on my computer
3. have that file be accessible in a way that Syncthing can pick it up
4. Pick up changes made on the file system

Orgzly seems to want to do its own thing and fails at 3 and 4. orgro is read-only. Every other note-taking or list app I’ve seen just stores stuff in its own little database in its own format.

Organize yourself with #org-roam or #Obsidian or something, so the byproducts of your work don't go to waste.

Just converted my *init.el #emacs files to a single #org-mode one. Love it! Org-babel is the way. It also feels easier to maintain, and way simpler to read.

Started using #org-roam [^1] to link my knowledge together. It's based on the "Zettelkasten" method. I don't know much about the method, but at least my notes are now DRY.

#TIL about the Promnesia project, which is an absolute awesome looking project to close that gab between the record of the information you browred and the knowledge you craeted from them. https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia#readme

Give this a look. it aims to seriously upgrade the browser history experience and for all the #org-mode, #org-roam, #obsidian and #logseq users out there, it digests our notes too and incoporates their titles and included URLs. Will def try this out.

It’s incredible how hard #apple have done it to sync files between iPhone and Linux. I wanted to sync my #org files and outside of iCloud there’s basically no file syncing capability. Majors vendor lockin.

In the end, I tested out #logseq together with #org. It’s working buttery smooth and I am able to edit my org files on mobile. The other method is to use Git but it’s very convoluted.

"an #org that doesn’t find any misalignment is probably not looking hard enough."

now i understand why people like #neuron and #Obsidian

#emacs #org roam ui is ❤️

I'm trying to move some additional work-flows to #org-mode. My problem is that I've been using #Emacs for a long time. I've gotten very attached to my own Fancy Diary Mode on steroids. I know about org-agenda-include-diary, but I want to go the other direction and display the org agenda in my format through Emacs Calendar/Diary. Does anyone know of a hook for that?

so currently, I am trying to use #org-roam for *daily* notes. I don't take notes daily but I was planning to change my lifestyle to take notes everyday so I could skill-abuse my ability to remember easily.

> it's just so much more than markup, it's a whole ecosystem.

The same is true for #markdown, but it’s a much bigger ecosystem from a lot more developers.

I’m sure #org-mode has real advantages, but that’s the thing—whichever one you pick, there are tradeoffs compared to the other. And everyone has to decide which tradeoffs matter more and which matter less to them based on their own preferences and needs.

@jason @blake @nickanderson I find #org-mode intriguing but I’ll likely never use it. The files aren’t nearly as widely supported and interoperable as #markdown, and there are nowhere near as many compatible tools for working with them as there are markdown apps. Despite having been around a lot longer, it’s never caught on outside its tiny, passionate niche—even most programmers use markdown now. But I know none of that matters to those of you who love it, and I’m glad it works so well for you.
