now

July 2025

The blog-move goes on and I continue to enjoy using Ghost. Takes away quite a bit of stress that I had been creating for myself using Hugo or whatever. Despite planning to do a fresh-start I realized that there are quite a few posts that I either miss having on site, or that seem relevant in one way or the other.

So, I am importing those and whatever post links from or to them. This is as annoying as it sounds and will take a while. Also I am wondering how to best organize the /now-pages so that the old entries are not getting lost. I have some ideas, but am still working on those.

Ghost has a collection-feature, maybe this could be used for that. Let's see.

June 2025

And I am again, still, "optimizing" my workflows and am currently quite satisfied with using Obsidian as my blog-editor as well as my Bullet-Journal replacement. Things are working fine and rather smooth at the moment and I like that.

Should I be able to stick to this for longer than my usual three months I think I will be putting a post together.

Surprise, I didn't and am back to my Emacs-based workflow and it feels just better. It is the usual.

And yes ... after roughly a month on Emacs I switched first back to a notebook, and now also to Obsidian again and try to make both things to work in tandem.

Which works well, for about three days already.

And no... I can't make this up.

The concept of a NOW page is developed by Derek Sivers. Thanks to Derek for the inspiration.
