Having a culture of writing at work
Friday, April 8, 2022
Chris Hannah with an interesting post about writing at work. I go through phases at work where I will write a lot to help me clarify projects and make sure the problems we are trying to solve are clearly defined. Chris highlights a few other reasons he writes at work, with this one in particular standing out: Gives the opportunity for more people to gain knowledge - Sometimes when you’re on a call or in a meeting, knowledge stays within small groups of people.

This post was written when this blog was based on Jekyll before I moved back to WordPress. I have kept it as part of the history of this blog. When I moved the blog to Jekyll last year I made several decisions about the posts I would bring across. One of those was to drop several of the post types that I’d added over the years leaving only a normal blog post as the type of content I could post.
Work, Family, Scene - Pick two

Life is about tradeoffs. When we know what to say no to, and we know why, we can say yes with comfort and confidence to the things that matter. To the things that last. In conversation with one of my favourite authors Austin Kleon, Ryan Holiday finished a post with this quote. They were discussing the choices between work, family, and scene, but I the sentence above can be applied to a lot of things.

When I moved the blog to Jekyll last year I made several decisions about the posts I would bring across. One of those was to drop several of the post types that I'd added over the years leaving only a normal blog post as the type of content I could post. I hoped that by stripping out all the cruft I would be able to focus more on my own writing and build up more of a routine to posting.
What about this for an Apple lineup? MacBook, MacBook Studio, and MacBook Pro with iPad, iPad Studio, and iPad Pro. When you consider it alongside iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro it kind of makes sense…
Spent the evening watching the football and adding link posts to my blog. Still some refinement to do but should be able to go live with them by the end of the week.
It’s world book day today, how did I forget!? To celebrate, what’s the book that’s like a blanket on a cold day and you keep returning to over and over? 📚
Opened this beautiful coffee this morning ☕️
Not quite sure why, but each day I’m chipping away at my Obsidian interface to get rid of some of the janky electron feel. It’s getting there, the focus of the last couple of days has been the right sidebar.
It’s both palindrome and ambigram day today. 22022022. Very cool…
My Obsidian has never looked more Mac like.
Face ID really needs to be able to work when it’s raining without the need to take my glasses off.
Also finding myself intrigued by Mastodon having never really given it much thought before.
Spent the morning playing with a ClassicPress install… made some good theme progress. Still not sure it’s the way forward for me, but it’s a step up from the last version of WordPress I used.
I’ve rediscovered Stickies on macOS recently. Anyone know of a more modern version? The collapsed state it not very friendly.
Wordle made its move to the New York Times website and I’ve lost all my stats. I thought that wasn’t meant to happen…
Today was a hard Wordle day, turns out some words are 5 letters in America but 6 in the UK… 😑
Wordle 235 5/6
