What's everyone up to today? Hopefully something fun!
I'm broken today and everything hurts from spending 14 hours in old shoes on hard pacement at a craft fair with my lovely and wonderful wife . We had our best day ever and sold most of what we brought to the show. She makes Resin Jewelry, art and Knickknacks from dried or preserved flowers. While there i did some crazy stuff on my phone, and on my home machine via remote link on my teeny tiny screen. Scrolling around a 4K monitor from a phone screen is a bit geeky even for me, but I did it.
Thinking over a post on another skool site about how to store all the cool stuff we share here and stay organized with everything.
Ive been using a combination of Google keep with tags and an app called getrecall that is essentially a bookmark utility but is also my replacement for pocket(read it later) after it shutdown. Its huge advantage is you can store docs or bookmarks that you can tag but it also creates an ai summary and saves the full text of the article. Their constantly adding and iterating. I have something like 50,000 or so links in it and it's a breeze to find what I'm looking for. Evernote used to be my second brain with pocket as my TBR pile now it's all in one place. My biggest hangup with them is you can only import 2000 links at a time and I have far more than this so I had to write a routine to split them into 2000 link files and import the manually one at a time. Ive debated about just creating my own tool, but haven't pulled that trigger yet. My writing app project has to be finished first for the folks here.. Welllllll......
I've now halfway written a replacement for getrecall that solves all the issues I dislike about it, runs local with a free local llm or openrouter link and solves a tagging issue and import issue I have with getrecall....even though currently it's the best tool I've found. What I've got so far seems to work but there's only so much I can do working on my phone sitting in a tent with only remote access to my home machine on the tiny screen. Whew. I'll work on a chrome plug-in to grab selected text or the whole page you are on later which is the final piece to it
Also created a new story bible for my next writing project based on the phrase from a conversation with my wife on chat the other day "It's not a memory palace, its a wormhole that leads to a labyrinth inside". Might be the best Fantasy/scifi story I'd love to see as a movie and once written given where we are going with AI video right now, who knows, maybe we can get it made.
For fun today It's new shoe time and a hot tub at the gym for the aching muscles.
Share something fun!
