Week 282: Kagi

A week of lovely D&D sessions, making stuff up, sunny drinks, churches, long walks in Kent, trying new search engines, and reorganising sixteen years of notes.

  • D&D was really fun this week, I’m so glad I started running it again. I’m rebuilding my confidence in “making stuff up on the spot”, because of course the players are doing more and more stuff that I didn’t expect, I love it.

  • There were quite a few drinks after work this week due to the sun. I do not have the ability to drink several days in a row any more and I should remember that as we head into summer.

  • I added soya back into my diet but the aformentioned drinking means I’m not actually sure if soya is OK. Quiet week this week to properly pay attention.

  • On Friday we went to a space thing in a church with Luke, we probably need to stop doing this because they’re often not especially good. We had vietnamese food afterwards and I made the most of being able to eat chilli again 👍

  • Over the weekend we popped down to Kent and joined a birthday walk from Faversham to Whitstable. It was really fun and the perfect walking weather – cold but sunny. We didn’t get meningitis as far as I can tell.

  • After Ivo has talked about it a few times, Charlotte and I are trying out Kagi as a DuckDuckGo replacement and I’m impressed so far. It feels a bit like old Google in that it’s actually quite good and useful. We’ve mostly been using it over the weekend so we’ll see how it really performs for work.

  • Following the theme of noodling around with “new” tech, I’m trying Obsidian for note taking. Of course I got carried away with organisation but I’ve settled on something fairly basic making use of tags and categories instead of millions of folders. I migrated sixteen years of scrappy notes from IA Writer, Bear, Notion, and Apple Notes and there are probably a bunch of random Markdown files scattered around my Mac that need moving in. Seems good, the real question is whether I’ll use it.
