I bounced on Logseq for day task journaling. Now using the Todolist plugin on #TiddlyWiki, which has interstitial and task-based modes and allows me to take it anywhere, now that I finally figured out a comfortable way to run my local TiddlyWiki server.

I kind of like the idea of copy-paste LLM game scenarios, such as the one entered into @ifcomp.org. I've done this on my own and played AI Dungeon early on. But a bigger goal would be to use sophisticated LLM prompting and RAG to create a virtual GM for D&D, etc. I don't want pre-built agentic stuff

I vibe-coded a #TiddlyWiki using #Claude Code. It was the second time to do so, but this time it actually within about 10 minutes of effort.

My problem with #Obsidian is that I can't easily make meaningful or useful metadata, and my problem with #TiddlyWiki is that while I can do exactly that with fields, the effort involved in implementing a custom way to render them for each project is discouraging.

I’ve decided to swich to MacPorts to manage #Python versions on my laptop, with the exception of using `uv` where I need to manage project dependecies--my static blog published through Pelican, and a custom #Vim plugin that restarts #TiddlyWiki whenever I change a `.tid` file.

The discussion about the ethos of open source in regard to the WordPress drama in Lex and DHH's podcast got me dreaming again about the ideal New WordPress. I see how Rails encapsulates a lot of the hacker-builder energy that the old WordPress community thrived on.

Obsidian, TiddlyWiki, and Logseq—I’m making a website to review and compare the three of these personal knowledge management systems, with corresponding example zks. #zettelkasten

Used Neovim to solve a problem faster than I could have without it. Probably will never compensate for all the time I’ve put in to trying to learn it. Oh well.

New “start slower” option in Dino Run. It’s part of core Chromium, not just Google Chrome, seen here in Brave. I love that this easter-egg is so deeply embedded in the experience of the Web.

Typing used to be my go-to skill untill I tried typing.io, which is addictively maddening and eye opening, despite its poor UI and text design.

I’m discovering Vue.js thanks to my SUNY class, and intrigued that it’s so easy and so hupertextual. It actually reminds me of TiddlyWiki, an entirely different kind of Node app. I think I can develop for Vue with transclusion techniques I learned from TW.

Oh my Goodness–ThePrimeagen just name dropped a specific scene from The Wheel of Time books on the Lex Fridman podcast! (At about 24:40.)

Reading @antfu.me antfu.me/posts/async-... I think...

even technical communications people should understand and work with synchronicity, especially for external content in static sites...

Mindblown by ES6 after studying JavaScript seriously again for the first time in about 10 years. I just have to wait around a while, and the hard stuff I struggled through years ago is suddenly easier.

I’m finally fluent enough in TiddlyWiki to use it comfortably for day to day practical purposes. Now, if only I had the motivation to do so. And if only I knew how to make a widget out of an element inside of an SVG... for my main project.
