  • Oh. That is where all the useful information is. I have been struggling with it for weeks and finally managed to get something working. Is it done the right way? Who knows! Their documentation is sometimes rather less than helpful. If their website decides to behave. Sometimes it goes a little wonky, though it has been better the last couple weeks.


  • I wish I understood how to use them. I have half written scraps of paper and random text in random text files. Notebooks are about the best I can do. I can’t write very well on a vertical board. It is really really uncomfortable and I end up obsessing on how bad it looks over solving the problem. Sometimes drawing on my iPad instead works, but that is another place to look for things.

    I do like using Markdown + Mermaid. Obsidian is a nice little note taking app once I got it configured. It just takes me forever.



  • I grew up in Texas. I understand your confusion. Houses are oriented a little differently here, but think of the “mudroom” as the garage. You know how you have a side door and a front door? And the side door is usually sort of attached to the garage, basement, or maybe laundry room? It is just that. A lot of people have a spot right inside that door, off to the side, for piling shoes. Otherwise you have a rack when you walk in, or you can use the closet right by your front door. It isn’t really a separate room. Good idea to have mats on both sides of the door. For whatever reason people are obsessed with split levels up here, so there is easier access to basement type areas.



  • As someone who has had a multitude of health problems, I am so glad that you are getting help. I have EoE, which really sucks, but I can’t imagine not eating at all. I had a condition finally diagnosed a couple months ago after years of being told nothing was wrong with me, which is better than being told it is probably in my head. I have chronic pain too, but it is “manageable”. Short version is I lost the genetic lottery, but I keep trucking along.

    Also, lamotrigine gang stand up!

    Definitely try Soylent (powder) as you can thin it out as much as you need to. I haven’t had the premade versions in forever, so I don’t remember. Worth a shot.

    As far as traveling goes, try to find a coffee shop or something to chill at for a few hours, though the smell may be too much now that I think of it. That really blows that the Internet is awful there and I have had to resort to tethering in the past. I have Google Fi, so tethering is dead simple and just works, but yada yada Google is evil. Once upon a time you could only make WiFi hotspots on your phone if the actual WiFi is turned off, but I don’t know shit about iPhones.

    Sorry about the nerve study, but make sure you ice afterwards. The pain doesn’t always set in right away. Had a rather agonizing drive home once…Make sure to speak up if it hurts a lot, or just feels…wrong. Ask for breaks if you need it. Nerve pain is something else.
