  1. Since I've been using it for nearly a year(!), I thought it was about time I wrote some notes on how I now also use the #denote-sequence #emacs package to group related posts on my #sphinx powered blog.

  2. maybe I'm tired and I forget some basics -

    How do I tell denote in emacs to search for a term (say "linux") but NOT from my blog folder?

    usual usage is with consult-denote-find, I want to have it ignore anything from the blog folder temporarily.

  3. I am still hesitating to make a move on #journelly. Partially because I lack some features I use in DayOne a lot - videos, audio recordings (esp. from my AW), maybe even encryption... Partially also because I see a lot of overlap in how people use it with #denote. And I think denote is a better place for loose notes because it produces separate files. Such atomicity makes a lot of things easier. So, I've bought it but I think I will wait it out so far, maybe for another year with #dayone.
