How I Study - Part 2
Since I wrote about how I study, I began my dissertation required to graduate. This has required the inclusion of a few new tools to assist me, and I’ll be going through them in this short post.
Note Taking Applications
I have spoken in the past about my experiences with Evernote and OneNote, and I found these applications clunky for simple note taking with too many bloated features. I don’t mind OneNote for my academia, but for light personal use, it was just too much for what I need it for.
How I Self Host
In this short post, I want to talk about my experience with YunoHost, Portainer, and Docker-Compose on my Raspberry Pi, as well as my previous limited experience of self hosting using a Synology DiskStation.
Organising Interesting Stuff
When I started browsing the internet, I remember saving a few select webpages I found interesting into my browser. As time went on though, no only has the web expanded significantly, but the type of content which can be found on the internet has increased. There are recipes, news articles, academia, how to guides, podcasts, videos, newsletters, long-form journalism, tools, RSS feeds, tips and tricks, Reddit threads, and websites which are just plain interesting. Trying to organise all that interesting stuff in ways to not just access it, but be able to save/store it for later use, as well as being able to extract the most important aspects from it, so as to not forget it, has become, for me at least, difficult.
In this post, I’m going to walkthrough where I started on this journey, where I went, and where I am now.
Digital Gardens
While I was writing a post documenting my adventures into organising stuff, I became sidetracked and began to delve into the world of digital gardens. The content is enough to warrant a post of its own, as well as needed to reduce that post’s length!
Here I will walkthrough my journey with Obsidian, Logseq, personal knowledge systems, wikis, and digital gardens, as well as brief forays into Jekyll.
