Now

Here's what I'm up to currently:

¶ Holiday Season

It's that time of year again.

For myself, I usually visit my parents for a few days and tend to get started on doing a digital spring cleaning.

Going through my task manager, junking all the stuff I don't really want to do as well as cancelling various subscriptions that I don't really need.

There are a couple of things that I currently pay for that I can consolidate by writing a couple of scripts since the problem areas don't change much as well.

¶ Obsidian Bankruptcy

Not a total bankruptcy but I think I'm at the point where I'd like to archive most of my existing notes to the side and then refresh my Obsidian vault so that it doesn't have so much junk.

I've ended up with nested folders where I have no real idea what's contained inside them and they're really archival notes that I never refer back to really.

¶ Hardcover

For some time now, I've been maintaining my list of books read on my site which works but sometimes it can be annoying sourcing all of the various metadata.

A lot of it isn't automated on my end.

Recently, I learned about Hardcover which aspires to be a Goodreads successor.

Most importantly, it has an API so it'd be feasible to start using that and then just pull my data locally similar to what I currently do with Backloggd.

¶ Website Refresh

It has been a while since I've given my site a nice tidy up and I'm about ready to sit down and give it all a revamp.

I've been saving various screenshots of design elements around the web that I like so it'll take me a while to figure out what aesthetic elements I'd like to use for this latest iteration.
