A Mackup/Dropbox glitch, integrating org-contacts and Things, conversations not interviews.

Looking up email histories and past Google Calendar events from org-contacts, and a few ideas about how to schedule time with people.

A very cheap and cheerful DayOne-to-org-roam exporter and a link to a useful org-roam search function.

The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless.

Fixing mixed-pitch in Doom, Carlson’s fake populism, ethics in affiliate linking.

I started down the path of building some sort of PRM in org-mode because I couldn’t find anything that worked the way I wanted. I did briefly look at Apple’s Contacts app, and also at Cardhop, which builds on top of your Contacts database but still makes some assumptions about how good you are at all at remembering to reach out to people. I also looked at Monica, an open source PRM. The promising part of Monica is its API. The web UI itself shows comprehensive data for each contact, but does not do anything in the way of bulk editing and has no automation at all. It’s laborious to bootstrap. ...

Mail restlessness alights on MailMate, editing web forms in Emacs with Atomic Chrome, org-recur for simple and readable recurrence, GUI org-capture with Captee, more on my org PRM.

The bear dances! And it dances … pretty good?

Added a little automation to contacts.org with a function that auto-populates a message buffer in mu4e.

This had to happen eventually.
