I accepted the invitation from @ellane@pkm.social to answer eight questions about using plain text files. You should too (if you use plain text f...
 Is there a plain text tool you can’t do without? “ In theory, no. That’s the beauty of plain text. But I would be sad if I could no longer use iA Writer or Taskpaper.” Thanks, Aleem! Great post. #PlainText #WhyPlainText View quoted note →
My precious baby grandson lived for 11 short days. We are devastated, but so very thankful we got to stroke his tiny head and say au revoir — till we meet again! I made some digital posters with words that have brought peace and comfort as I grieve. They are free if you need them, but if you have the means I’d be grateful if you considered buying one. Proceeds will go towards supporting my son and his wife at this difficult time.

For the first time since getting my first email address in the late 90s, I am consistently at inbox zero! Feels amazing, like I am the Superwoman of email right now.

This is an article I wrote for my students to help them get control of their inboxes. The feedback I got from my students, encouraged me to add it ...
Right, back to the Wonderland222 planner. In no way do I regret shelving it for 3 months in favour of a hand drawn Moleskine Cahier. Seems like every few months I need a sea change. Novelty. This Tomor River paper is a delight! 50gsm and no bleed with fountain pens. #stationery #fountainPen
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, fountain pen friendly paper was all there was. Moleskine Cahier, my recent ink pen renaissance is sorely testing our relationship. Smarten up, please! What were you thinking, making a classic book with newsprint quality paper?? #stationery #fountainPen
Right on, Meredith. The other day I asked Claude to help me calculate a day in the future based on certain criteria, and its answer included my general location. After asking how it knew where I was, it told me it didn't know how it knew and definitely shouldn't be able to know that. Reported (not that it'll do any good). #ai
#Gardening in someone else’s garden is more fun than in my own. Doesn’t hurt that here in #Victoria there isn’t the immediate threat of leaches, funnel web spiders, and venomous snakes that we have in #NSW! We don’t dig in the backyard without covered limbs, sturdy shoes, and several glass jars to catch the funnel webs (and drop them off for milking later). #australia #wildlife
