2025-05-31 07:07:29 • 🕵 Anonymous What's the best way to keep track of all the thing you wanna do: TL;DR: Obsidian. https://obsidian.md/

I've been through quite a few options, I've tried various task tracking apps, I've tried todo.txt, I've even used pen and paper todo lists. But I keep going back to Obsidian. I found the way that works for me is to use a couple of specific plugins - Kanban and Tasks.

For my vlog, I have a Kanban board with one card for each bus route, as I check them off my list the cards move through various columns, planned, filmed, edited, and posted. I have one note per episode in the same folder. It just works.

For general tasks I shove my todos in the daily note Obsidian helpfully creates for me, and the Tasks plugin shows me a list of tasks I haven't done yet. I can add whatever info I need to that daily note and not really have to think about organising them, because when they're done, they just vanish from my Tasks list, but I can always find them again.

I use Syncthing to make sure my phone, laptop, and desktop always have the latest version of my Obsidian vault.

So, yeah, it's not perfect, it's a bit of a hodgepodge system, but it works for me. Give it a try. Best thing about Obsidian is it makes it super easy to migrate to another app if you feel like it.

2025-05-31 06:51:14 • Robert'); DROP TABLE Answers;-- oh dear did I break something?: Bold of you to assume I use an actual database to power this thing, and not a mess of text files.
2025-05-31 06:40:58 • 🕵 Anonymous I have questions. Should I ask them?: Only you can decide. Vote now on your phones. Telephone votes cost £2.50 plus your phone company's access charge. Votes by text to the shortcode cost £2.50 plus one standard rate SMS. Ask the bill payer's permission first.
2025-05-29 14:49:25 • 🕵 Anonymous Is your home the Cal Alaira?: No, because the residents are only 25% Cal by quantity. We call it the Cuddlehaus.

2025-05-28 14:18:55 • 🕵 Anonymous You drive an electric car, is there anything that would make you go back to internal combustion?: If EVs were somehow found to be less safe I'd go back in a heartbeat, though that seems unlikely.
2025-05-27 18:46:04 • Maxwell Any plants? As in the photosynthetic kind.: Yes, but they're outside. As in the scary room full of people and germs that I try to avoid going in.
2025-05-27 11:04:58 • 🕵 Anonymous Any plans for Farther's Day?: I don't plan to go very far. Maybe as far as the couch, for a midday nap.

2025-05-26 09:27:43 • 🕵 Anonymous Why does the website reply "forbidden" when I try to put HTML? :c: HTML tags were overpowered so they got nerfed in the DLC.
2025-05-26 08:49:08 • 🕵 Anonymous how do you make a vlog: It's really easy. You just film video clips, record voiceovers, and put the two together. The only difficult part is filming the video clips, recording the voiceovers, and putting the two together.
2025-05-26 08:46:52 • 🕵 Anonymous is times new roman the best font ever: No, Comic Helvetic is. (also the DejaVu Sans family is really nice)
2025-05-26 03:00:09 • 🕵 Anonymous Where are my keys?: Friend, I don't even know where *my* keys are, how do you expect me to find yours? I think mine are probably in my rucksack, but I can't remember where I put that either. Did you check your pockets?
2025-05-25 19:44:56 • A Dragon Probably Dragons?: Depends on how fluffy they are, and/or whether their laps are nice to loaf in.
2025-05-25 19:23:35 • An irregular netizen If you were a Taskmaster's Assistant, what kind of task would you create?: The kind of task that would make them wish they'd hired a better assistant.
2025-05-25 19:11:16 • 🕵 Anonymous How do you center a div in CSS?: There are no divs in CSS. You might be thinking about HTML, which, although closely related to CSS, is not CSS.

Also, look at the state of this website, do you really think I have the first idea how to make good CSS?

2025-05-25 18:45:53 • Another regular netizen What's 1+1?: Wow, I knew that google engines were getting worse and worse, filled with AI slop that doesn't know truth from fish, but I didn't think it'd got to the point you get more reliable answers to simple expressions from random people.

Anyway, 1+1? That's easy. It's 10. Of course, I am assuming we're working in binary.
2025-05-25 17:39:10 • A regular netizen This is a robbery!: You seem to have filled in the wrong form. You filled in the form for questions. You probably wanted the robberies form. Don't apologise though, it's a very easy mistake to make.
