Notes
Short content: a microblog of status updates or short notes
Dear WordPress folx, If you’re considering leaving Twitter for Mastodon, you should know that you can set your site up like a pseudo-Mastodon instance using @pfefferle‘s excellent plugins: ActivityPub and NodeInfo.
For those fleeing Twitter, know that I post everything on my personal website first and syndicate it to a number of places including Twitter and Mastodon.
Much of my short status updates cross post to @chrisaldrich@mastodon.social while everything can be found at the “Mastodon account” @chrisaldrich@boffosocko.com, which is really just my personal website pretending to be a Mastodon server.
If you want your own website that acts a lot like traditional social media I also recommend you try out micro.blog where you can follow me @chrisaldrich.
If you have difficulty finding/reading my content wherever your new internet home is, let me know and I’ll see what I can do to help. I try to support a number of open standards to be read in many forms and formats.
Before you leave, do let me know where I might find and stay in touch with you, because it’s the friends and the people that make any of this worthwhile at all.
Dog grammar must honor the double negative because when I shout “No! No!” my dog definitely hears “Yes!”
Alright Tools for thought, note taking, and zettelkasten nerds. Anyone want to take a guess at who this philosopher is and what that is up on the shelf behind him? Hint: it’s not Roam Research or Obsidian.
Wouldn’t you know that just as I finish a book club session on How to Take Smart Notes, the second revised edition is released…
There’s something ouroboros-like in the nounification of the verb verbify into the word verbification.
I just couldn’t wait for a physical copy of The First Astronomers: How Indigenous Elders Read the Stars by Duane Hamacher, Ghillar Michael Anderson, Ron Day, Segar Passi, Alo Tapim, David Bosun and John Barsa (Allen & Unwin, 2022) to arrive in the US, so I immediately downloaded a copy of the e-book version.

I’ve got lots of stuff to say, I’m just saving it all up.

Do you suppose she’s using a zettelkasten or simply “stacking ammo” like Eminem?
Can you define “heartily”? I don’t need the roots or anything.

For those who’ve been waiting for it to show up, the digitized version of box 9 of Niklas Luhmann’s second zettelkasten is now available online. It contains many of his notes on the zettelkasten itself.

Are there any extant tools for thought or personal knowledge management tools that autogenerate a user-facing index of all internal [[wikilinks]]?
Are there any extant tools for thought or personal knowledge management tools that have semantic link relationship affordances with respect to metadata?
Taking a moment to send a warm thank you to all the work (both visible and invisible) that Dr. Martha S. Jones and her lab are doing for the Johns Hopkins Community and far beyond. Where ever you live, I heartily recommend their newsletter Hard Histories at Hopkins.
