David Merfield at Blot Rocks

.. there I said it. So happy with my new 🔗 Blot powered Obsidian Wiki - now in the menu of my 🖇️ Public Journal

What David Merfield built is very impressive and the Obsidian integration is stunning.

My wiki is based on the Forty template with extended CSS and functionality like 🔗 this page all built in collaboration with Claude.

Looking to now add an image gallery

Have I taken away a programmers job? No - without Claude I just wouldn’t have done it.

Next job moving a raft of material out of various archives and folders into the Obsidian vault.

… and of course the totally unbiased thinking and behaviour of Messrs Musk and Sacks will absolutely guarantee a fair and balanced view.

Should I house my new Structured Thought wiki at wiki.philpin.com - or leave it at 🔗 notes.philpin.com?

Filed under important questions that have no right answer.

The logo in my email signature in 🍎📧 just stopped rendering earlier this week. Took until today to work out what was wrong - noting that I hadn’t changed anything.

As of this morning … fixed - though no idea why it stopped working to begin with.

🔗📼😂 I know exactly how Kevin feels.

It’s all about attention to detail … FFS‼️

.. I have been suffering from this - and I THINK this is the problem.

I originally THOUGHT I had narrowed it down to TextExpander since every time I closed TextExpander the problem seemed to right itself. Escalated to TextExpander - who told me how to do a clean install - which I did - but it didn’t fix the problem - because of course Text Expander isn’t an Electron app.

Props and big kudos to ‘Christa’ at Text Expander for the response time and help. 🙏🏼

Later: TURNS OUT NEVER WAS A TEXTEXPANDER ISSUE - all coincidence.

This morning I gave Claude a list of all my Mac apps - and it tells me that these are the electron ones …

• ChatGPT
• Obsidian
• Signal
• Microsoft Teams (the only part of Microsoft allowed on my Mac)
• Dropbox
• Slack

So I think ChatGPT and Slack are my likely biggest culprits.
