Geez almost wrote 2024 again. So im something like a decade older than the artist and the weird thing about my age is im constantly wondering how much of this stuff is the modern age and the way technology has sorta grown into this constant multitasking and how much is just my age.

I've started collecting ideas in my notes

I open Obsidian, create a new note, and jot down the idea

Obsidian is preconfigured to add new notes to an Inbox folder, and the note's name defaults to the date and time

At a later time, I go through my inbox and rename and recategorize


This makes writing down ideas painless, while also minimizing the interruption of whatever I was doing at the time

I actually use emails to myself often. You know though I just realized I should tag them as notes but if I do a search for emails from me that is the notes so I may stay lazy on that.

If it’s something I want to remember (to do, to look into, etc.) and probably won’t, I text myself, and leave the notification unread.

It works as a nice backup too, won’t lose them in email or deleting a note app or something.

almost wrote 2024 again

You wrote the first of thirteenthember and that's what you're worried about?

If you want to complain about the only standard that makes sense is ISO 8601, 2025-01-13.

Actually, RFC 3339 is better. 🙃

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Isn't RFC 3339 just a slightly stricter subset of ISO 8601 (been a bit since I had to really worry about date standards).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

To be honest, I don't even know the exact differences.

I do like that RFC 3339 allows you to write it like this:
2020-12-09 16:09:53
Whereas ISO 8601 requires it to be written like this:
2020-12-09T16:09:53

But the main reason RFC 3339 is better, is this: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3339
Yes, that is the whole RFC. I'm not linking that to be funny.

I'm linking it, because this is the closest I can show you to ISO 8601: https://www.iso.org/standard/70907.html
A fucking paywall. I couldn't know the exact differences between the two, because I cannot read the latter.

is it 8601 or 8061. now im confused.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

8610 Writing the digits in descending order is the best way to write any number.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago
  1. I did a typo.

Lousy Smarch weather!

I think you are off by a furlong.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That's why I use names for the month where I can.

Besides, everyone knows this is really now 2020-5.
