Back in 1992, my dad bought a Macintosh IIsi to learn and master a new technology that was becoming an increasingly big part of his daily work: the computer.

I'm not sure how long I'll keep doing this, but the Supernote is such a good match for the TLSp that I had to share my idea with you.

There I was, catching up on my RSS reader, when it struck me.

A few days after switching back to my old G-Shock, I already knew I was going to keep wearing it for a while and decided to order a softer strap.

The battery life on my Garmin Instinct 2 is really good.

Weeks after starting the process of trying to port the TLS to paper, I’ve come to realize quite clearly that the decision to keep all notes in chronological order was a good choice.

Living in a popular destination like Porto definitely has its side effects.

I recently came across the beautifully formatted public domain books in the Standard Ebooks catalog and decided to look for the classics sitting on my TBR list for way too long.

It’s been a few weeks since I started porting the Timeline System to a paper notebook (TLSp), and the most important thing about this experiment is that I’ve gone completely all-in.

Since I started the Timeline System on Paper project, I've been dedicating some time to finding out what the best pen is for the notebook I'm using.

Knowing that many people love or prefer paper, I've been studying the viability of an analog version of the Timeline System.

Yesterday, I wrote about the Micro.blog Paradox, and that ended up triggering so many questions.

Before I start, here's some context: This is not a criticism.

I'm 256 km away from home, and after testing it at different points, one of my MeshCore messages reached the radio I left there connected to the Raspberry Pi!

As someone who started with an Apple II and DOS, I'm finding the Linux shell out of this world.

I started my LoRa journey with two radios, but it didn't take long to get two additional ones.

I’ve been on a quest to build a completely private, 100% local AI system for my Obsidian vault and I finally have a working proof of concept to share. ▶ For now, I’m using Ollama and the Obsidian CLI to search my notes and generate answers locally on...

🕵️‍♂️ Can you spot Obsidian in this picture?

This is an update on my Portable Computer project.

The Timeline System is a living system.

As you may know, Amazon recently made many older Kindle devices obsolete.

I was already impressed by the performance of KOReader on my 2012 Kindle, but installing it on my Supernote was a game changer.

Today I set up Syncthing on my Raspberry Pi.

Thought this was appropriate after switching to KOReader for my DRM-free eBooks.

I have no idea what I did, but the emoji row disappeared from my phone keyboard.

After a few days of intense experimentation, I was pretty impressed by the Meshtastic network.

The LoRa kits arrived early today 🤩, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to have some fun.

I’ve been dreaming about a global mesh network since the 2000s, and I just came across two that are actually working: Meshtastic and MeshCore.

I just came back from a trip down the Meshtastic rabbit hole, and I'm sold.

This is the first time I've heard from people on the other side of a Bending Spoons acquisition.

This pretty much sums it up.

I've been seeing people on Mastodon complaining about this or that online service with problems the whole day.

I finished working on version 3.5 of my Car Kitchen yesterday — just in time to test it today on a hike near the Douro river.

It's really hard for me to truly understand the technical differences between ActivityPub and the AT Protocol, but every time I read a comparison like the one below, I end up siding with ActivityPub.

It's been a few months since I merged the sliding prototype with the kitchen box that traveled with me across Europe last summer, and I'm absolutely in love with it.

I find it intriguing that both the Protomolecule and Astrophage choose Venus.

When I imported my notes from Evernote, I wasn't entirely sure how I wanted my properties, folders, and other Obsidian settings to be.

I grabbed the mug without even looking at it.

A friend who was moving asked me if I wanted this speaker system, which I don't even know exactly how to define.

I use only one Obsidian vault for everything personal and professional.

We went hiking this weekend, and when I saw this tree almost growing from its ashes, like a phoenix, I stayed there for a while admiring its perseverance.

I listen to great music on what I consider to be the best device ever to organize and enjoy a music collection.

I like to give cool names to my files, computers, external disks, etc.

I'm in the middle of an operation to import old Flickr photos to my blog, and that has brought back some interesting memories.

Like most of us, I recently got an email from OpenAI, and I couldn't help but mentally translate some sentences while I was reading it.

Regarding the YouTube AI problem I mentioned yesterday, I just had an idea.

I use YouTube a lot — for watching news from TV channels, scientists sharing content about their specialties, and independent journalists.

Some of you may not know, but in addition to having graduated in economics, I have an MBA in international affairs.
