Todays walk it wasn’t raining but everything was still very wet and overflowing.

Two pictures in either direction from the bridge by the beaver dam in . The path to the Meadow was completely overflowing.

Rachael on the bridge. The water is just under the bridge decking.

Leftover ice still on . I guess it must have really frozen solid.

Here’s a little clip of the water gushing out of the lagoon yesterday

Dec 2022

On for a belated Christmas celebration and visit.

Yesterday was a king tide and pouring rain.

Water gushing everywhere in Killarney Creek and the fish ladder.

The king tide overflowed the causeway at the lagoon.

I (properly) figured out how page properties work!

TLDR; the interface has a dark background at the top where properties are newline delimited.

This does all work on mobile.

My big dinner was last night on Christmas Eve. Tucking into some leftovers including fried spaetzle.

What did you have last night or tonight? Include recipe links if you have them handy and I’ll add them to my

@chriscorrigan I’m reading your end of year reflection in NetNewsWire and reflect following you from afar as you began writing about Bowen close to 20 years ago.

Radical change is much on my mind these days, and I wonder if Bowen is a place that could support that. Housing housing housing!

Thanks for writing and sharing and all that you do.

Also a good excuse for me to link to the Wait Equation.

We can “see” 600M light years, what might it take to travel there logseq.bmannconsulting.com/#/p

I’ve totally seen this in Stellaris. Guaranteed there’s a space leviathan breeding ground in there

After getting Chefs Plate, I recreated an entire meal: the Herby Panko-Crusted Chicken. The trick is dredging the chicken in mayo instead of an egg or batter.

I went out and took some pictures before shovelling. 30-40cm for sure!

Some legend shovelled the entire sidewalk of the whole block, so I just did the rest of the building’s front cement walkway.

A picture out the window here in

It snowed a LOT last night, and it’s still snowing.

Definitely a shutdown day - airport shutdown, ferries cancelled.

I figured out today that on iOS, because it’s just Markdown files, gets automatically indexed and included in search.

So, a search for “cloud” will bring up notes that have cloud in them. Neat!

Hey @paul, maybe you want to add a MicroPub API to Ivory as well????

Dec 2022

I was just musing to myself about once again.

Turns out @paulrobertlloyd is announcing the server on the way to a v1.0: paulrobertlloyd.com/articles/2

Congrats, Paul!

Does anyone know how to get to the source photo from the “Photo Shuffle”?

I have mine set to rotate hourly and it’s great to see them, but then I’d like to perhaps post that photo or remember where / when it was by going to it in my photo library.

Sometimes working on my notes is exactly like using a fidget spinner.

It occupies my mind and typing fingers, but there is no outcome or forward momentum.

Tonight’s dinner was a trial run of , a meal kit service that I’m doing a trial run of.

Hey @brewsterkahle we’re going to do a social on January 25th lu.ma/van-dweb-social

@blaine is going to come down out of the mountains and we’ll do some talks by a few folks.

Is the Vancouver Internet Archive office available / interested as a space? Want to fly up and join us?

It’s fun for me to read it cover to cover, and create a table of contents for the articles and recipes so I can search it and use it for inspiration foodwiki.bmann.ca/Cook's%2520I

Dec 2022

Cook’s Illustrated is one of the few pieces of paper-based reading I do.

The back cover illustrations are a great excuse to learn about one topic, in this case , Japanese pickles. This gets me a great index in my to explore foodwiki.bmann.ca/Back%2520Cov

Lots of cleanup left to do as well as learning what LogSeq can do.

Can I mix private and public content? I am nervous / not confident about doing this.

This build produces links with hash based routing eg logseq.bmannconsulting.com/#/p

As long as I can easily permalink content do I care about whether it shows up in search?

Dec 2022

I’d like to import all of my blog content + archive to truly have everything interlinked.

It’s about 2000 posts, not clear what the performance will be like for day to day note taking.

Dec 2022

And then what? Well, I really want to have good mobile workflows that can be published / shared online.

Working Copy on iOS and GitHub Actions work for syncing and publishing. The LogSeq mobile app works.

Let’s see if it sticks!
