I have been binge reading everything on your site recently and love lots of it but especially your permacomputing article + all the stuff about it in your digital shoebox. I had many of these ideas and thoughts already but did not know there was a movement on it already. I am now taking a deep dive into it. Thank you. I will probably do some writing on my site about it in the future and link back to your stuff.

I'm very curious what your approach to recapping was for the morning BASH script.

I use 'sed' to print everything between two strings - in this case, a time stamp and a daily separator.
Lots of new stuff on the site. Here's a post about it all: https://mikegrindle.com/posts/digital-shoebox

Woke up in one of those, "I kind of want to delete everything I've ever produced online and start-over" kind of moods today.

LOVE this post!!! thanks so much. the average person shouldnโt need an 8gb laptop for email, word processing, and web browsing. the more ram available, it seems, the more OS makers just see it as an invitation to include morw bloat

Absolutely. HELL YES or no. Closing one door can open others. Time is valuable.

Having some set of ideal circumstances for writing always turned it into a massive timesink that had to compete with my social life and other hobbies. Maybe writing focused at a desk is most productive, but allowing myself to write in bits and pieces standing on the subway, waiting for meetings to start, while eating etc. has allowed it to become a far more integral part of my life, something i'm always doing.

Of course, if writing is your primary job, then it makes sense that it would be ritualized -- just like any other job one has to do every day for multiple hours.

There was a great zen pencils covering this topic, ironically with a Bukowski quote used as the prose/narration. The comic was removed at the request of Bukowski's publisher, but someone else still has the comic up: https://ravenvinnie.wordpress.com/2014/08/13/one-of-my-favorite-comics-charles-bukowski-air-light-time-and-space-by-gavin-zen-pencils-aung/

@nohappy Love that Bukowski quote/poem. @saddleblasters, work certainly changes things but I think the principle of just getting on with it still applies.
Happy to have introduced you to the concept and glad you've enjoyed the binge reading. Look forward to reading your thoughts on the subject (p.s. great site by the way).
