I like using this site when on my phone, as 1Writer makes it nice to add entries and I’ve semi-automated everything, so I can just type. If, however, I’m on the computer then it’s less straightforward. I suppose I could find an application, like VS Code, to do a similar setup as right now I’m just typing straight into the git repo with a new file.

This video makes me want to get the tools to make my own notebooks. Not to sell or anything but for myself or maybe to give to friends and family as a present. Thinking this reminds me that my tiddlywiki is not editable at the moment and I should sort that out, then I could’ve made a list of tools I need to buy to do this (and then never buy them).

I could just use https://tiddlyhost.com/ and have a TW on there to add stuff. I like making it public though as maybe other people find it useful.

I do want to learn CW (morse code), it looks fun and I think it would be really rewarding. Much more so than buying stuff. I saw someone make a commitment chart, and thought I should do that.

Here’s a copy of Forrest’s

Goal:

Begin hunting Pota/Sota by June 1st, 2024
First Pota Activation by July 1st, 2024

Instant character recognition: 2 LCWO lessons/day w/ICR focus
All 40 lessons completed by April 5th @ 20wpm w/ 10wpm effective speed.
All 40 lessons completed by April 25th @ 20wpm w/15wpm effective speed.
All 40 lessons completed by May 15th @ 20wpm w/20wpm effective speed.
Obviously OK to finish sooner these are minimum plan timelines.
Once ICR comprehension has reached 20wpm character & effective speed advancement to Iambic master sprints with call signs/characters/ragchew practice with sending. May 15th-June 1st allows 2 week blitz in preparation for Pota hunting June 1st

Saving it here for future reference when I work out what I should do.

I used to write here a lot, every day, but then it fell away. I think I should continue it again, of course there’s writing on paper or on the computer. Paper is probably better but I have a hard time breaking the habit of sitting on the computer or my phone.

This has been another installment of very late night ramblings and how I should’ve gone to bed an hour ago.
