Weeknotes: 2024-W43

Published: 28 October, 2024, updated: 28 October, 2024

Summary

Continued developing a daily-notes oriented Obsidian workflow for capturing information about what I’m up to.

• Created iPhone/iPad shortcuts for logging to daily notes
• Used Claude.ai to convert sleep data from screenshots to Obsidian daily log
• Installed the frontmatter modified date plugin, which allows me to watch what files I changed on each day.

Also tried and failed to make 2024 the year of the Linux desktop with experiments with Pop!_OS Cosmic, NixOS unstable, and various Wayland WMs/compositors.

A simple procedural animation technique

I’m a bit of a sucker for animated explainers in general and enjoy generative art and procedural generation, so this is pretty much a love letter aimed directly at me. Helps that the animals have some character through their art style that I’d not easily pull off.

 The Perfect Sudoku To Win Over Your Friends

I watch all of Simon’s Sudoku videos, and this is one of the more enjoyable with a simple ruleset, not overly long solve, and fairly straight reasoning. Unfortunately there’s a bit of brute-forcing near the end which I noticed was unnecessary or it would have been even better.
