I've had a draft for a similar post lying around for a long time too - this would be about the word "just". It's used too often to undervalue work (just a hobby project, just a web…

I've been using abook [1], which is very old software but is fast, simple, stores data in plain text, and can export to vcard when needed. [1]: https://abook.sourceforge.io/

As an Australian, it also baffles me. We withdrew 1 and 2 cent coins from circulation in 1992, and prices are simply rounded to the nearest 5c when paying with cash. Maximum 3c dif…

"Evil Mode: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Emacs" by Aaron Bieber is an interesting talk on switching from vim to emacs + org-mode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWD…
