Not open source, but I've been using Obsidian for a while now. It has infinite canvas and all notes are in Markdown, so everything is stored locally as text files. You can pay for sync with android, but I just have stuff in dropbox and don't use the phone app anyway.
1985. Riding my Raleigh Strika down Howl Lane in Hutton Cranswick, East Yorkshire, at the breakneck speed of 15 mph.
Oh shit, this is the origin of a recurring nightmare I used to have! The voice counting down in the dark, ending with a tiny voice saying "Hello", then I wake up screaming. It was this combined with the intro to the terrifying cartoon "Gideon". Thanks for solving this mystery and giving me PTSD.
Your 60s spy-fi theme tune to get things done today, is this oft forgotten oddity:
I do love Sublime Text though. I often switch between that and Neovim for writing prose. It's just so comfy.
VSCodium is a version with all that stripped out. I'm using that now and it works great.
I recently ported an engine to Linux and having CMake generate Ninja configs and then building with that sped things up by quite a bit. VS Code is pretty great on Linux too, once you set it up to build and debug.
Just completed a coding test for a job application. Supposed to take 3 hours, took me 3 days. My brain he is gone away now.
We're 🌟thrilled🌟 to announce that our special guest on the next Path To Publication course will be literary agent extraordinaire Juliet Mushens! Juliet is the agent behind some of the biggest names in fiction, from Richard Osman and Claire Douglas to Jessie Burton and Saara El-Arifi.
No context writing screen-grab from today.
Currently searching for an unintelligible death metal band logo font to submit manuscripts in.
I think there needs be a reassessment of Comic Sans. I changed the main font of my operating system to it, and I don't hate it. I also think it sits very well with death metal.
Help us to save the roof, and to protect the books!

Can't wait till this technology is embedded in TVs and enabled by default. You thought "super motion" was bad enough, wait till you're watching Casablanca and the AI anti-grain filter decides to turn Humphrey Bogart into the Ace Ventura.
A notebook, a pen, a highland cow.
Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. Here's my super productivity setup for 2026. A local-first note-taking app, with deep versioning history, fast index-based data storage, and assistant powered by bovine intelligence.
I tell myself this is important work, but I've spent the morning putting my current work-in-progress into a Git repository. This is due to my insane need to have every single item of change history tracked forever. It's a disease.
Small Prophets was so great. Was thinking about my dad today, and that I hadn't really grieved properly at all, then this came on and I just started crying uncontrollably. I'll stick the kettle on, mate.
One of my favourite bits of slang we used at school is "moore", meaning chewing gum. The etymology of which evolved thus: chewing gum -> chewie -> chuddy -> chudley -> chudley moore (from Dudley Moore) -> moore.
The sun is shining here this morning. I didn't hear a cuckoo, but the woodpecker is back in the tree outside, headbutting her way into the heartwood.
Just when I thought I might have some free time, they go and do this to me.
Finger's crossed Notion's new AI agents can export all my data and delete my account for me.
Jeff Noon is on bluesky and his story spores are in the air.
Foolishly decided to install Windows on my PC yesterday to see if things have improved. What an absolute shower of shite. Back on Fedora today.
A nuclear wasteland with the caption "13 years after".
Just off to rewatch Threads to take my mind of things.
My dad passed away on Sunday, so here's a few pictures as a tribute. Edward "Terry" Wilson, champion jockey, 1936-2026.

A flow-chart type thing with words n that.
The plot of my current work-in-progress. Sure, it looks pretty now... but wait until the wheels fly off and it all explodes in my stupid face.

This gave me a swell of hope, like perhaps the great tide of shit is about to break.
