My Fourth Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo
It’s another year, and I have since heard that NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) as we knew it is gone. But despite that, it’s still the day after the sugar rush has ended, and that means it’s another autumn month dedicated to writing prose. This month marks my fourth consecutive year taking part in the…

Scrivenix is the Easiest Way to Run Scrivener on Linux
November is only a month away. While I know that NaNoWriMo has largely started to wane over the past few years, I still practice it every year on my own with whatever novel draft I’m working on, just seeing how far along I’ll get or how my story is going to shape up. But since…

Making an iPad Useful with a Keyboard
”What’s a computer?” – Some snot-nosed brat, circa 2017. I’m sure everybody can already recall the infamous ad campaign without seeing a link. In case you don’t realize (That’s a rock worth living under!), Apple had an ad campaign back in the day featuring a little girl with a keyboard on her iPad. She ends…

I Made an “Analog Game Boy” to Avoid Phone Scrolling
I’ve been a stationery junkie for years now. I really like analog writing tools in general, especially pocket notebooks. While gel pens have been my jam, I did start trying to use other tools like fountain pens and, of course, pencils a few years back. Despite how I have quite a few of them, however,…

Dealing With How I Stopped Bullet Journaling
I never thought it could happen to me, but here we are. Years and years ago, when I first started to bullet journal, when I first made it a regular part of my practice, I recalled seeing several YouTube videos about it. However, there were also a few videos out there that largely seemed like…

How to Cancel Your Premium Sudo Science Subscription
My readers, it’s time I come clean. I have to finally apologize for a long-overdue justice. No amount of interpretive dance, playing the ukulele, or saying “I’m sorry you feel that way,” will fix any of this. This time, I’ve gone too far, much too far. I have been inundated with constant emails, text messages,…

You Can Bullet Journal from the Terminal
I’ve used a bullet journal for several years now. I mean, it’s the very first thing I wrote about on this site. Additionally, I’ve been running Linux as a daily driver even longer than that, running only a few distros like Arch and openSUSE without distro hopping. As a result of running Linux so often,…

I’m Done with Vim/Nvim Distros
This won’t be too long of a post, but it does somewhat connect with my most recent post about Dank Material Shell. After installing it, I enjoyed the rest of my setup as normal. This felt like the end-all addition to my Hyprland setup. However, I had a different, long-dormant issue that reared its ugly…

I Replaced My Second Brain (and PARA) With My Own Digital System
It’s surely been a while, as 2026 is now approaching. Quite a bit of time has passed since I stopped using the whole BASB “Second Brain” system as conceived by Tiago Forte, almost two months to be more specific. However, that doesn’t exactly mean I stopped using Obsidian altogether. When it comes to meaningful note-taking…

My NaNoWriMo 2025 Results
December is here again! That can only mean my latest NaNoWriMo attempt is over. Now, before I go on, I’m fully aware that the official NaNoWriMo site is gone and everything, but I still follow the tradition in general regardless. I never really saw the NaNoWriMo event itself being tied so tightly to that organization.…
