We're on hold for now. I'm focusing my attention elsewhere. baty.net is still hopping, though. See you there.

Well, I'm in that place again. You know the one. The one where I write the same thing in more than one, and sometimes more than two, places because I can't decide where stuff goes.

Howm and Denote and TiddlyWiki. It's still "and" not "or". It should be "or".

These journal entries aren't necessary, but I like having something for other notes created today to hang from.

Every day? Almost, right?

I downloaded and DeDRM'd my Kindle books. When importing them into Calibre, I learned that all but 90 of the books had already been converted. I'd been here before, it seems. It feels good having them all under my control. As vast and convenient as the Kindle ecosystem is, I plan to avoid any more ebook purchases through Amazon.

I wonder why I didn't have a note about the Amazon Kindle.

I made the mistake of launching Capture One yesterday. Now what? I'll tell you what, I'm having second thoughts about everything.

Almost back to feeling normal today. A mild cough and general malaise is all that remains. I don't think the malaise is due to my cold, though.

OK, I'm feeling a tad better this morning. Finally. Still coughing my lungs out, but I don't feel like death on a plate.

I was on the phone with my dad yesterday and it occurred to me that he and my mom have such simple needs. I would like to have simple needs.

I need to better recognize the difference between "neat" and "useful". I often veer toward neat, when I should be focusing on useful. Having both is ideal.

The overlap/conflict between this wiki and my Howm notes continues to confuse me. I like them both.

Good morning. Our nation is fucked. Have a nice day.

I've got a few things I'd like to write blog posts about, but I don't feel like writing them. I feel like sitting here and clicking stuff until I can go back to bed.

Still sick. Day 3. No worse today, so I'm hoping I'm coming around.

Part of why I like TiddlyWiki so much is that it's just a web page. I like browsing and reading in web pages for some reason.
