I've started using Mutt again as my primary email client. Or at least as my first email client. I use it to tear through mail quickly and respond to the easy messages. For things with attachments, HTML-only, or other annoying bits, I fire up Mailplane. It's a neat combination.#

I'm very happy with the process and results of using Fargo to create this Snippets "noteblog". I just wish I could decide what it's for. Based on the past week or so, it looks like I'm creating a simple feed of links. Problem is, I already have one of those. I also have a blog, so when do I post short notes here and when there? Still thinking through it, but I'm leaning toward only longer or "fancier" posts on baty.net and shorter ideas and things here. We'll see.#

Decided to use fargo for publishing to rudimentarylathe.org. Much better.#

I woke up this morning concerned about relying upon Dropbox for long-term hosting and storage. Not sure why.#

It occurred to me that I bought my Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M Scanner in 2007 and still use it every day. Not a bad run.#

I miss things. Sometimes I believe it's because those things were better than what we have now. Other times - today for example - I think it's simply because I've stopped growing.#

Seriously, how many apps do I need to use every day? Seems like dozens, and all of them make me log in constantly. 1Password helps, but only a little. I am still interrupted at every turn. Had to link fargo.io to Dropbox, again, just to post this. It's exhausting, and that's web apps. Mobile apps are even worse. Also, desktop apps don't have this problem.#

I own an awful lot of writing tools for a guy who doesn't write much#

"As such, our personal libraries should contain as much of what we don’t know as what we do. They should contain the possible. The aspirational. They should contain the future." bobulate#

I was asked about a dozen times last night, "So, what do you do?"#

My answer was uniformly weak and terrible. In my usual fashion, I undersold the value of what Fusionary does. I need to work on that.#

I bought my first Leica M camera almost 11 years ago. It was a fine choice and I still use one daily. Equipment Wanker #

I haven't been to Founders in like 10 days. Fixed.#

Default page of baty.net redirects links to this Fargo-generated "Noteblog" called snippets.baty.net.#

I'll aggregate all my stuff here, including links to my usual Wordpress blog posts. Not sure yet if it's a good idea.#
