‘Baby’s first layout’ is a go! I made a custom layout for my Go60. Only basic changes: I moved the Enter and Space keys closer to my fingers and the less used keys (Alt, layer switching) more out the way (all thumb cluster keys). I also shifted the SymbolNav-keys for navigation on the right half around to work with Vim-motion: I kept hitting the ‘h’ for left and got a dollar sign instead.

Been getting used to the Go60. I think I need to swap out a few function buttons (Enter, Space, Command) to work better for me.

Worked on Maldev Academy and a blog. To tidy up, it would be good to divide the Maldev notes and the objective notes/code. It would also be a good idea to link each objective to specific code files/lines.

Doing more Maldev Academy, practicing more songs (Sitting on the dock of the bay primarily) and quite busy in my personal life. Working out almost every day, I do need to integrate more back strengthening exercises to prevent sore and stiffness.

Locally, I’m trying out the ‘RecentNotes’-plugin from Quartz. I think I’d like it to go into the right-hand menu column, beneath the Graph View and the Table of Contents. Something like this:

Would be great!

It’s not easy, but I’m learning how to think through and handle secrets in a Docker context. In my previous Zola-powered static website, I had some problems finding a theme and configuring it correctly to have it show Mermaid-diagrams and -workflows. Fortunately, this is baked into Quartz, so now when I need to think through an interconnected problem (like secrets handling), I can whip up a workflow and get my idea into a workable picture.

I am getting used to journaling with org-roam, I’ve managed to setup a container registry for my Gitlab (albeit with some errors I still need to fix) and am getting used to posting notes here (for example my study notes for my Azure AZ-104-certification.

For a while I’ve been journaling, mainly for work, and I really like the idea: one file, some brief notes per day of what I’ve worked on, what I learned, what didn’t work. Because my job is currently split in basically three jobs (main job and two longterm projects), I have spent more time on finding my personal Getting Things Done-approach. This resulted in me switching to emacs (with vim motions of course!), starting with a similar setup of per-project statusfiles in Markdown and finally into daily org-roam notes that link to other notes. What stuck through these changes was the journaling: now my ‘dailies’ house my todos (which apparently isn’t a Getting Things Done approach to todo lists) and a journal entry per project. I basically don’t have to remember anything I did as soon as I write it down, which gives me more space to think on a current task or issue. I haven’t found the time and need yet to do this for my personal work, so maybe this journal will help get things going. To kick it off, here’s what I did today:
