Another Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo!
Costumes are coming off, seasonal candy is on clearance, and el Dia de los Muertos is underway. That can only mean one thing: November is here once again, and that means National Novel Writing Month is back. Longtime readers may be getting deja vu looking at this title. However, it’s no mistake. I will once…

Omnivore: A Read-It-Later App I Actually Want to Use
UPDATE: As much as I liked using Omnivore, this page didn’t age too well. As of November 2024, Omnivore is shutting down, which will prompt me to continue my search for an alternative. Switching jobs sometimes requires moving out of where you live, further than you expected. Moving can also be expensive, expensive enough to…

Working Image Previews in Krusader on a non-KDE Desktop
(NOTE: Skip this top section and scroll down to “Just Give Me The Solution” if you just want the answer to fix this right away.) I have another quick Linux tip here, and this one is about Krusader, the Qt5-based, double-pane file manager for Linux. If you just recently installed Krusader for the first time,…

My Top 3 Tiling Window Managers
It’s no secret that I’ve been exploring Arch, Fedora, and openSUSE for the past few years. While I did use Ubuntu back in the late-2000s, I only used Kubuntu briefly before really going all-in on Arch during the lockdown a few years ago. Still, the point is that I have experience with the aforementioned list…

I’m Going to Use AI for EVERYTHING
It’s another short post from yours truly. I’ve been writing a little less as of late, as my life and priorities have been tougher on me recently. However, I hatched an ingenious idea of what to do to increase the amount of content on this blog just a few days ago. It struck me while…

Learning to Love Vim Shortcuts
I’m still largely thriving on my openSUSE 30-day challenge (with my conclusion coming soon). I even got another few apps installed because I was interested in trying them out for an upcoming project that promises to be exciting, and I promise to post about that should it materialize into something more tangible. Still, one of…

Ways to Maximize a Pocket Notebook
I’ve carried a pocket notebook everywhere since 2014. Over the past decade since, I’ve learned all sorts of little tricks, tried some hacks here and there, and kept what worked and dropped what didn’t. Eventually, I got to where I am now where I carry a pocket notebook everywhere despite having a main bullet journal…

Turning GNOME Into a Tiling Window Manager
I’ve made it rather well-known that I’m a big fan of the Awesome window manager on Linux. I still use it regularly on my Arch system, but what about my Fedora workstation? While I do have Awesome installed on Fedora, I’ve found myself using it less and less. It has nothing to do with my…

8 Great Lessons from The Bullet Journal Method
Welcome back to the Sudo Science Book Club! In this series of posts, I take a deep dive into books that resonated with me and simultaneously break down what I’ve learned and implemented from them. For the previous two posts from this now growing series, take a look at when I joined the 5 AM…

New Year, New Second Brain?
A new year is at hand! As the autumn ended and the winter arrived, I’ve continued using my three biggest productivity tools in tandem with one another: my bullet journal, second brain, and pocket notebook (which I will refer to here as a memo book to distinguish it from a “full-sized” notebook). Still, when I…
