 My weekend has been a wash as far as productivity goes. 

I desperately need to get my car in for an oil change and brake work, but yesterday, I wound up sleeping til 11:00 am, and it was cold, grey, and yuk in general. The garage I take the Danemobile to is about a mile from my home. I usually just drop the car off when they first open, walk home, and wait til they call me. There was no way I was walking that mile yesterday. Today, laundry has to get done.

I opened a profile on beige.party, a Mastodon instance with an 11000(!) character limit. In addition to that, I'm on mastodon.ie (500 character limit), and sharkey.world (5000) character limit). I think each scratches a particular itch I have. That and I'm pretty sure I'm a digital hoarder. Chock it up to impulsivity.

I've been in a posty kinda mood today. I have sparks for some tech-related posts, but I think I want to play around with them in a text editor first. I could use LibreWriter, but for just "get the thought down" kinda stuff...text editor, bay-bee. I really wish Notepad++ had a linux port. I'm honestly shocked they don't.

My updated Linktr.ee so you can find me (or, ya know, avoid me. I know I can be a lot some days)

 I'll let this message I posted in the Notesnook Discord speak for itself.

Yes, a fucking notetaking app made me cry.

 

"This is a thank you post, not so much a suggestion.

Discovering Notesnook is a BIG thing for me. I have ADHD, and Evernote was the answer to a lot of prayers for me. It was the one, central app I could go to consistently to organize my thoughts, make lists, keep tabs of the names of people I just met. When I say it was everything, I mean it was EVERYTHING.

Evernote went the way of most other "free" online applications: It started out good, then lost its way. Over a year ago, the Android app started crashing on my phone. The app wouldn't even open. Evernote decides to limit the number of devices. Constant, intrusive ads for upgrading your account. I exported everything to Zoho Notebook, and was convinced Evernote was dead.

Now there is Notesnook. When I opened up the web interface, it was like opening up the good old Evernote. I learned of the feature set, then exported all my notes from Zoho over to Notesnook. One of the things I recently started doing was creating an agenda for when me and my aunt have our weekly lunch dates. I just got done mapping out things I want to talk to her about, so after we part, I won't be thinking "Dammit! I wanted to tell her about such-n-such!"

You developers have given me back one of the best tools to help me navigate my neurodivergent world. I cannot adequately put into words what that means to me. I hope you all realize that your work isn't just another app. It can impact lives.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you."

 Some days, I hate the way my head works.
