Share your ZK plans for 17 APR - 23 Apr? What were your successes from last week?
When our most immediate day-to-day tasks are not related to keystone goals, it becomes a huge challenge to carve time for life's big challenges.
Maybe a survey is in order?
Please share what you have been working on or will be working on soon. Please share what you wish you'd be working on. Use this as a public accountably tool, as a way to start a conversation, and to socialize your understanding.
PLEASE DON'T BE SHY!
2022 Week 16
Last Week
- Met with the New York Times writer Carl Zimmer as part of JAMM328 and found the conversation a wealth of ideas, many captured in ZK.

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.

I really dig the "check ins" (or, in Agile-SCRUM-parlay: the weekly stand up) to see how everyone's doing, what y'all are struggling with, and which books you read.
Last week
Highlight: Spent Saturday with the ""in-laws"" (quotes because I'm not married) on a 50sqm field we tilled a couple of weeks ago to remove all the weeds and sods and finally plant some potatoes and beans. I find that doing this kind of work for 8 hours straight is absolutely in my ballpark of spending a day. Of course I get tired, but less than I'd expect, and there's always energy left in the tank for plowing, plucking, shovelling, carrying, ... -- that's a nice experience
Upgraded by build tools (= new Xcode version) and rebuilt all my apps with it successfully. I released an update to my work break timer, Move!, using version 2.0 of the app updater component Sparkle, that was conceived more than a decade ago by Andy Matuschak, by the way! The open source team that picked up the project years ago managed to release a new version late 2021, and I'm starting to test this starting from my most simple app, Move!, working my way up to The Archive eventually. It's always a pain if the updater breaks and people don't get new updates anymore, so I'm cautious there. Been burnt a couple of times.

Tuesday is the start of another 2-week-spring for "work work". So today's the day I'm going to be tinkering a bit on TableFlip to introduce the new updater component. Next will be editing posts for ZK.de, the draft-making script @Annabella so generously tested to identify a problem, then some more website tinkering for the rest of the week.

Same, although mostly for the struggles and what's up. If I can help in some way, I like to chime in.

Hi @Will
I really enjoy your weekly review post. I add this to my Zettelkasten after writing this and it became my weekly rendez-vous as well. I can see how other ones go as well
Last week :
We song, yes, and I now understand simple sentences in Japanese. Maybe learning Japanese with MiniBear ? (project ?)
Ooooh that is totaly missed. Following the critic in "Critic my Zettel", I now re-work my whole Zettelkasten when ID files names, and I make some modifications.
Yes/no, I re-work Demeter goddess, reading a book, I have some fleeting notes to work. Made Bouddhism notes some refractoring.
Not at all. Missed.
Ah ah ah… Not the slightess. Rework IDs and all.
I have completed that part, and begin the next one.
My father took this topic in hands.
Missed ! Let's move on.

@Will I want to clarify my response by saying that I don't think I (and others) would be benefited by weekly "check-in", as my progress is slow (that's why I voted for once a month). But I do enjoy reading what others have written.
I might check in once a year. I'm still resetting Windows.
GitHub. Erdős #2. Problems worthy of attack / prove their worth by hitting back. -- Piet Hein. Alter ego: Erel Dogg (not the first). CC BY-SA 4.0.
I meant by me checking in weekly - others obviously gain much benefit from checking in more regularly. My response was purely in reference to your question 1.
@Loni Do your unique identifiers come with square brackets or were those added for your post? If the former, what's your link convention?
They come with square brackets
I copied my index from obsidian and translated titles.
My link convention is "[[filename]] - Hand added notes" or [[alias]] - Hand added notes. It mays change with time.
@ZettelDistraction Classic Windows. In Linux, you can disable automatic updates. I do that and update during my weekly cleaning instead. Perhaps you could do something similar?
@Loni Ok, that's confusing. With this convention, if I want to link to
[[220411.342133]] - Fighting lexicon, which one of the following would be the link?[[[[220411.342133]] - Fighting lexicon]][[Fighting lexicon]][[220411.342133]]The link is only the one between brackets.
In order to make links, Obsidian only recognizes file name (here the ID "220411.312133") or the alias "Fighting lexicon" but not the title of the note. It is not like The Archive or Zettlr and it is quite an aberration, as HTLM docs does not care about alias, only title, but it's the way the software works.
@Loni
I don't understand. Why use aliases? Also, could you elaborate on what you want from the software?
Edit: I misunderstood you, so I changed this to reflect that.
