Why I use Denote?

I like Denote, but I don’t think I ever explained why - at least not after using it for about two years. After someone asked me this in a way, I decided to explain.

Spent the last day and a half on and off figuring out how to use pandoc to make my org-mode files in pretty, readable docx files, including tables. It was a challenge, but it’s worth it. The key is to use a reference doc and to know how to use it. Need to expend on that.

Reflection on my Emacs experience

Some recent discoveries in Emacs have led to reflections on past blog posts that showed me the importance of Emacs bloggers in the community.

Denote on Emacs is the only note system that can keep up with me. I keep wanting to use TiddlyWiki, but it’s too distracting; I want to change the colors, the font, add a log as to why I did a certain thing… my brain is too wired to resist. Denote keeps me focused.

I don’t think I have a single close friend who doesn’t love DnD. It’s almost as if I have it listed as part of some “friend role interview” qualifications.

As a kid at school, I was always a geek with my geeky friends, but as an adult… hmm… wait a minute. Well, I guess that answers that 😅

org-mode capture: menu inside a menu

Org-mode capture templates: it’s possible to include a submenu inside an org-capture menu. Here’s how I did it - but why? Well, I’ll get back to it. Hopefully.

I wonder if there’s a way to silence/delete any news brief or summary that starts with “Trump said…” It would help a lot. I’ve been avoiding news altogether for months, but some items I actually want to read about.

Microsoft Office vent number 2113: The Outlook Quick Menu.

How is this helpful?

The options are not categorized logically, with a separating line that seems random. There are over 20 actions in a quick action menu Options that are secondary at best (with Copilot shoved in, of course)

A context menu from Ourlook on macOS is shown, with over 30 various options such as Open, Print, Reply, chat, view source, Copilot and more.

Muerte en LaRoy, Texas, 2023 - ★★★

I've seen this sort of plot happen in a couple of movies before, but it was executed nicely in LaRoy. This movie comes with a lesson, but I think it's a lesson I already learned a while back - but it's a good reminder.
