Share your ZK plans for 10 July - 16 July
What are your plans for zettelkasting this week?
Mine include processing ideas from The Tao of Travel by Paul Theroux, The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton, and The Best American Travel Writing: 2021 by Jason Wilson and Padma Lakshmi. TRAVEL, TRAVEL, TRAVEL. And I'm a stay-at-home introvert.! Lots of refactoring of my notes in on travel in the coming week. I am doing this in preparation for uni class Geographies of Non-Fiction ENGL 463, which starts next month.
What are yours?

My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.

Previous week
Last week I've completed a large-ish freelance project. Shipping this week. That was fun and I learned a lot of new stuff and met interesting programmers along the way.
Over the weekend, I also prepared an update to my app TableFlip: v1.4.0 is hitting App Stores world-wide by now. It helps with CSV files from various sources, guessing the intended delimiter, because not all comma-separated value (CSV) files use, well, the comma.
New notes from last week:
Two of these notes are about SwiftUI, which is a new-ish framework by Apple to create graphical apps on all platforms. It's super interesting to work with and if you know what you need, it can accelerate development a lot. I ponder changing the UI from older apps to use SwiftUI in the future -- both to "sharpen my saw" (Covey) and to reduce maintenance cost. Sadly, this only works by bumping the required macOS version to Big Sur, Monterey, or the upcoming Ventura -- depending on the SwiftUI version I require.
Speaking of planned obsolescence from Apple: the upcoming developer tools (Xcode version 14) will not be able to build Mac apps for macOS 10.12 or older. I happily support macOS 10.10 in some apps. It's wild I would eventually need to drop support for old versions of macOS because the developer tools stop supporting that. That's a new thing, and it's not something I like.

@Will Thanks for your persistence in keeping this weekly thread going - I think it is of value, even if I'm not that regular of a contributor. Always nice to hear what others are doing.
I think my pace of growing my ZK is a bit slow compared to others, which fits other things going on in my life. I probably read the forum more regularly than I write zettels. However, progress is still made. This week, I'm finishing off some historical information on my paternal grandparents, which I'm doing through a series of zettels.
@Will, I want to second what GeoEng51 said.
@ctietze
This might be interesting to you.
@emps "Kill it with fire" sounds like a promising title
Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out
