Very rudimentary – I haven’t added attributes or support for placeholder links – but now I’ve got my Logseq graph connections loaded into Kuzu, with a pretty good graph view in the Kuzu Explorer interface.

Was hoping to get this much done before we were on the road for our move. Pleased to have met my deadline.

I’m 1 for 34,982! Go me! :party_parrot:​

Pulled this from my code sketches folder into its own repo in case you’d like to steal ideas for your own Logseq (or other PKM) external processing workflow:

rgb-logseq-toolkit

Impressed myself with the README I put together in about 45 minutes.

We’re on to the “crap or keepsake” stage with an unsorted pile of non-obvious stuff. The good news is much of it fits in one room, after I logged many trips up and down our stairs.

Many trips.

My Apple Watch asked if I’m a hamster.

No, not one room. But three rooms less, anyways.

Good lord one can accumulate a lot of crap over three years in a suburban house.

A hackers.town gaiter from before we switched primarily to N95. Forgot I had this.

Bet it’ll come in handy as a dust filter. I’ll keep it.

I have multiple versions of this playlist. The core’s about the same, though.

Trying to give away a breakfast nook. Folks online asking @IamMrsGeek “do you have any other pictures of it?” And uh sorta but we weren’t exactly taking pictures of the table and bench.

The urgent move crisis mode impulsivity has faded for a moment, and it’s starting to sink in just how many of my anchors I’ve irreversibly discarded.

I’ll make new ones, but the short term is gonna require extra mindfulness on my part. I chucked 30-40 years of who I’ve been. It’ll be a bumpy ride.

Also, I’m almost certain I’ll start feeling better once we’re filling a place up instead of emptying one out, and especially once I set up my security blanket of the last eight years AKA the desktop PC.

Sometimes I’m good about noticing my patterns.

I always have myself some kind of anchor point in a room. As a kid it was the bookshelf, young adult it was stereo and the bin with my sketch materials, tech years it’s been my computer.

And this particular Theseus Brand desktop, where the only original part is the case? Yeah that’s a strong one.

It’s been suggested multiple times that my animal equivalent is the rat, because small and furry, plus I set up a cozy comfortable nest in some corner somewhere, which I will scurry to 100% of the time if there’s a loud noise or somebody turns the light on too quick.

Also if you leave snacks out overnight and I’m around the snacks will disappear.

Sometimes the obvious grammatical violation isn’t a mistake or a deep poetic statement.

sometimes you just put it there because it’s more fun

hackers.town: 2024-05-27 Mon 22:36

then again i suppose to some folks “language can be fun” is a deep poetic statement

or a mistake

Some folks are wrong. I’m not sure which ones, but I’m reasonably certain someone is.

Got Minecraft on the phone, loaded it up, went to accessibility settings, and was reminded that Bedrock Edition lacks subtitles / captions.

Dangit. I can’t play this, at least not much. Java edition captions are really good, and basically why I got so heavy into (Java) Minecraft after my right ear went bust.

I know there’s already a parity request. Just had to grumble.
