I got the black and copper ones. I am documenting this to keep track of how long they last - it’s been rough to go without for a month so hoping not to have to replace for a few years. I am pretty hard on my headphones, but Zan’s from this brand have lasted 10 years.

Noise canceling headphones are probably the most important and usually only adaptive tech I use. I got the Sony WH-1000XM5 3 years ago and they died last month 😭 I’m trying the Sennheiser Momentum 4 this time

So here's the thing with vibe coding when you don't actually know the language (typescript). I had an error on my static webpage generator that I gave to gemini - it generated a whole bunch of code to replace the config with. The actual solution is this one missing line...

I feel silly for not thinking of this earlier! I was doing mental math to figure out what row of each of the 9 charts I was on when I could just add a metabind view calculation to my row counter to find the remainder after dividing by the number of rows in the chart 🫣 @obsidian.md 🧶
![A screenshot of Obsidian MD showing knitting charts with a line of text showing the chart row in progress underneath. The first chart row reveals the calculation underneath: "Chart row: `VIEW[{back-count}%20]`", the second one shows the rendered calculation: "Chart row: 3"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ipevze5zvhcpjdbvlsjwxgea/bafkreiczrty6uj7ofjdw3fnzmg2frbuc6ekadfynqi22zsdqbqfzand73u@jpeg)

New addition today to the @obsidian.md : added meta-bind buttons for counting the row I'm on which is stored in the metadata (frontmatter) so I can match the number of rows on the front pieces and sleeve pieces

I'm trying to be more disciplined about keeping notes for knitting esp because I have been doing it so sporadically that it takes forever to pick projects back up after a break. Doing a complex cable project; putting all the screenshots and annotating the pdf using @obsidian.md was a great idea 🧶

I must confess that I as a person born in Taiwan have started regularly eating and referring to spicy Doufunao as “Fern Brady’s Soup” (in a Scottish accent) since that episode of @taskmaster.tv

Bases continues to be *chef's kiss*. My main use case for @obsidian.md right now is to keep track of my environmental scanning/research and the cards option have made the previously clunky dataview codeblock look so pretty and more usable for getting a quick overview 😍 #obsidianmd

When you copy and paste a random quote from Hannah Arendt in as a placeholder to test a local random quote generator plug in and then you read back the quote... OOOF.

I’m so excited that I finally got this set up and working!!
Took files from my private @Obsidian.md vault, preprocessed with Python script to find semantic connections in an TTL file, append as a mermaid block + related links, published Quartz 4 on GitHub.

With bases, I have a much easier way to see and filter through all the connections and also export them out as a CSV to serialize into RDF graphs via Python rather than pulling them from across .md files 🤩

It’s ok because I restarted the Orkney Cardigan for the 500th time and found the exact shade of blue I was missing for the other project so 🤞 I have enough leftover for both

Look it’s me! Knitting! Hallway duty and various supervising of youth last week gave me the opportunity to get back into it again, one of many of the benefits I took away from a week of volunteering as a Group Leader for Forum For Young Canadians.

I got to deliver a brand new version of my Data Art workshop to this lovely crew today. They engaged so thoughtfully with all of the activities and discussions and I’ve never seen this level of concentration during the project portion 😍 it’s a true delight every time I get to do it!!
