Home today. A blur, a blur. Woke up late around 9:15, lamped in bed for another 20 minutes. Had a turkey lettuce mayo doenjang sandwich on a bagel for breakfast. Tasted alright but the doenjang tasted a little strong so I'll probably use mayo only or go back to gochujang for some kick. Spent most of the day checking in on Tomodachi Life, watching poofesure's video series on the same game, and working on Helios — an experimental slipbox taking after Hemera but hosted in TiddlyWiki Stroll, for a completely digital Zettelkasten setup. Clearly there is a loss of tactility moving from paper (back) to the computer, but typing felt much easier on my hands. The two-stream feed layout for Stroll, and the compact size of each digital card, made it quite easy to write shorter notecards and see multiple at once to reference and write from. Additionally, the organization went by far faster. Going from alphanumeric coding to timestamps smacks 2 birds with 1 stone, since it continues to anchor each digital notecard in abstract space while continuing preserving some information to track the evolution and development of lines of thought over time. Making connections between cards went by much faster, but the quality of connections was about the same as my physical slipbox (maybe slightly less, but only because I have so few notecards right now). And indexing by hand and adding Zotero citations, the other 2 components of the original Antinet structure, was as easy as pie. Mom prepped lots of beef, mushrooms, and veggies for the countertop grill for dinner -- very delicious.
