Daily Post: 29/08/2024

This is a daily post containing stream of thought ideas and interesting links I've found throughout the day.

Thoughts:

  • Updated my daily post template (this!) to include links, and post to my blog. Previously I’d been using a local markdown file (in Obsidian) to keep track of my daily thoughts and links. I’m hoping this will make it easier to share, and push me to be more thorogh in my thoughts.
  • Still coming off of XOXO. My first, and the final year of the conference. I’m feeling a bit of a void, but also a lot of inspiration. I’m hoping to take some of that inspiration and apply it to my own projects. I’m also hoping to keep in touch with the people I met there.
  • Monospace Web: An exploration of using a very well made monospace font for everything. Text, tables and diagrams!
  • Grace Hopper archive: NSA recovers Admiral Grace Hopper lectures from archive and releases them on youtube
  • Bluesky updates moderation tools: I’m really impressed with what is going on over at Bluesky. Here is the latest update, that allows you to “detach” yourself from a quote message.
