Thank you as always for reading
In my search for #notes taking applications, and especially to help me track #tasks , where I was mostly looking at #Trilium, #joplin #joplinapp , and eyeing a bit #obsidan #ObsidianMD (it's not open source, and for work use would be paid), I just learned about #SilverBullet . It's certainly intriguing, but I'm not sure yet what I think about it
(Feel free to engage with this post with advice etc, I guess it is me asking)
I'm starting my #GTD #weeklyreview now, following https://quantumgardener.info/notes/my-gtd-weekly-review-steps.
First up is to create a page for today using CTRL-SHIFT-T in #Obsidan to bring up my weekly-review template.

@ctietze Nice, thanks! I would probably try #Obsidan primarily, I use #roamresearch as my daily #pkm at the moment but trying to migrate to local first.
Comparison-wise, Obsidian vs LogSeq, maybe try Roam vs Tana for a larger set of notes too. I'm more messing around than actively researching though
What is your naming convention for your notes?
I’ve used <domain> - unique title. Yet, I realized lately that notes become more and more interdisciplinary and this is not working anymore. Any suggestion?
Question for #obsidanMD #obsidan folks:
How do you organize locations?
- Each location to its own note, which is then cross-linked? So `department` would be linked to `company` which would be linked to the `city` where it is located.
- Hierarchy inside a few notes. This would look like `[[country#subregion#city#company#department]]`?
- Some completely different system?

Today I set up #obsidan sync. Absolutely thrilled with it so far, as I'm ramping up my writing and want to have everything available on my Win10 desktop, Win11 laptop, iPad, and iPhone. So cool, and I think it's going to be well worth it.
Now I have to figure out how to turn off the syncing that I had set up to OneDrive, as that can lead to problems. Any suggestions?
@ellane @EpiphanicSynchronicity @mani2jeff @talios I’d love to see how you get your Drafts into Obsidian. I use #Obsidan on my PC’s synced to OneDrive. No idea how to make this happen.
@EpiphanicSynchronicity @mani2jeff @talios tell me about using iAWriter. Device? Syncing to #Obsidan ?
I was planning on recording some voice-over this evening but because we had *a day* I installed #MinimalTheme in #ObsidianMD instead. When I downloaded #Obsidan I made an unprompted promise to never tinker with it, no plugins or themes just Bare Bones Knowledge™. But plugins can be helpful and I'm loving the different coloured headings in the theme.
Today I finished the rough version of the first module of my Obsidian plugin for Eleventy (or more accurately, markdown-it). The goal is to make Eleventy markdown syntax compatible with Obsidian’s, so you can use Obsidian as your composer for your blog.
My first step was to add callout support, since I use them a lot for quotes and sidebars.
``` [!QUOTE] optional title
Bunch of stuff
```
Renders with a nice icon (based on callout type) shadows, title in a standard place and styled.
I’ve also added css that will style the last line as a citation if it’s italic. Hacky, but harmless.
I’m using the same underlying structure as Obsidian, so the css is transferable.
