It feels like a vim plugin. It definitely feels like org-mode can do this. A few years back I had a little command line tool where I could log things quickly - it was like syslog for humans - but with #hashtags for projects or clients, and then a small tool that wou…
Of course, all the chat apps that allow sending messages to yourself come with free time stamps. I use this feature on Slack at the least. In a google workspace you used to be able to create a conversation or whatever they call it, not invite anyone and bam! notes to self. But I think they disabled it now and they don't let you create a new chat if it doesn't have at least 2 people. Might be able to work around it by…

Why not just use Notepad in Windows and hit F5 Time/Date at need? 9:54 AM 3/21/2025 That said, this sort of thing has me wishing for something like to Services support in Windows where that could be implemented as a Service by Notepad and then used in any context where text input is acceptable.

I am a heavy user of Roam ( before that workflowy, before that org mode). I have daily checklists, but also some extensive notes on specific topics and some large projects I'm tracking.
But I'm so heavily using LLMs now to help with researching topics. And I haven't found a good way to bring my LLM usage to my note taking.
I'd love to be able to go over some things with an LLM and then tell it to add a summary of this to document X on topic Y.
Does anyone have a workflow that combines LLMs and Deep Research with a note-taking system? I'm wondering about just using Obsidian with Windsurf to make changes to it in an agent type manner.

I use AutoHotkey's text replacement to drop different date formats. Typing "]ts" in an input replaces it with 03/21/2025 10:10:48 ::]ts::{ Send(FormatTime(,"MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss")) Return } Beware the syntax differences between Autohotkey 1 and 2 when searching documentation
Medium/Small/Big Big:Medium:Small - No! Bad American!
Big-Medium-Small Big:Medium:Small—Yes! You're now ISO 8601 compliant!
TL;DR:
Send(FormatTime(,"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"))Earlier quoted context omitted.

Please take this as your official notice that you use dates completely wrong and the world thinks you are a terrible person. If you would like to be a good person, please correct your horrific use of dates immediately Medium/Small/Big Big:Medium:Small - No! Bad American! Big-Medium-Small Big:Medium:Small—Yes!
