Gil's Week #202018

This week I...

• Learned how to use vercel's serverless function to make my own url2markdown service, it works, but it's early days, I'll later write a blog post with my findings and how I integrate it with my knowledge system.
• Been thinking about how to streamline my reading of articles from the web, it's currently a mess, I'm using instapaper + storing urls on vimwiki + storing search terms on my phone and paper notebook + reading pdfs on my remarkable tablet. I want a way to only read things in multiple places, whichever is convenient (right now since I'm only home, I can use the remarkable only) and a way to place urls that can be searched for using tags or their content (paying for instapaper would give me this, and I'll probably do that). It's a work in progress.
• Got better at bread making, today (Sunday) I made the best one yet, it will only get better (I hope).
• Printed some altoids organizer on my 3d printer, I love altoids cases!
• Kept playing Apex Legends, and have won a few games, yay for me!
• Did 10min of exercise every day, it's not much, but at least it's easy and consistent, I may upgrade to longer sessions or more sessions throughout the day.

Sound of the week

• Snarky Puppy - Lingus, a great technical jazz band and song, do listen!

Great URLs

• Librem mini Librem, the company making open source software, is doing pre-orders for this nuc-like computer.
• Bashtop an alternative to htop or top, looks cool.

Notes

• I didn't read many articles this week (or at least not that I can remember...), hopefully I can create a better system to store good articles that I read so I can share more on this newsletter. See you next week!

Cheers, Gil
