Pyrite

I was convinced an easy way to spot something unnatural, in a natural earth like setting was to simply look for straight lines and perfectly right angles …. until I came across Pyrite.

I will need to find a new way to convince myself that humans are alien.

Goodbye Evernote, Hello Obsidian …

Finally making the move of my “2nd brain” (notes) out of Evernote and into Obsidian … I think I will miss a few features of Evernote such as the rich editor, nice formatting of tables and the polished Desktop, Web and Mobile apps, but I am over the high expense and glad to be hosting/owning/having control over my own data.

Obsidian looks very promising at the moment, a couple of work colleagues swear by it and just by the quality and sheer number of great community plugins alone has made it worth switching. Time will tell 🙂 During this move I have also modified my note collection structure, migrating to a partial implementation of Johnny.Decimal where it makes sense. Below is a screenshot of my current folder structure. I hope I can maintain this … but also know these systems require time to evolve and adapt. read more

Travel: Roth, Walldorf, Heidelberg, Munich

paschmann

Due to a last minute work trip to SAP in Walldorf, some odd flights to Munich afforded me some time on either end of the travel for a few personal events to enjoy. (I generally fly to Frankfurt as it’s much closer).

A few days before the trip I noticed a famous full distance triathlon was going on in Roth, Germany, so on my drive from Munich to Roth, I made a short stop to watch.

During the work week I spent time running in a small forest area next to the office, we had a great event in Heidelberg and hiked from the top down. I also spent some time lap swimming in Walldorf, and also did a trail run along philosophers walk before heading back to Munich. read more
