Obsidian as a resilient hardware inventory tracker. This might be untidy and I will write up a better tutorial once i set things up for blogging.

#Obsidian #Tutorial #Inventory #ADHD

1. Install Kanban community plug-In. This is not necessary but it is a nice way to track states of items and get them displayed.

2. Create a new board dedicated to the inventory and set up your first list. I like to start with "Inbox". (1/9)

@liztai Your dataviews wil evolve and that might be a challenge when you have dataviews in your templates that you then likely want to update too.

My solution to that is to put a #DataviewJS snippet in the template that loads another note (call it a #Dataview #template) where the actual Dataview lives.

The code to load that other note:

```dataviewjs
dv.span(await dv.io.load("/full_path_to/note.md"))
```
Works like a charm and it makes life much easier.

I've written a guide for people who want to draft papers in #Obsidian and then export to Microsoft #Word with "live" #Zotero citations. That is, the final document will look like a document that was written in Word with Zotero from the beginning, allowing you to edit the citations and generate a bibliography before submitting to a journal.

After a short blogging break (12 years) I’ve posted about a silly little @obsidian plugin I wrote called "Draft Indicator”, and about how you can create wee #Obsidian plugins of your own whilst avoiding the TypeScript Industrial Complex: https://boucheron.org/brian/2024/05/minimum-viable-obsidian-plugin

Made a little #bookmarklet to save links into an #Obsidian note. Builds a (very barebones) plaintext #bookmarks file into your Obsidian vault.

A couple new lists of personal sites crossed my radar last night. Gossip’s Web the directory of handmade webpages https://gossipsweb.net/ and PersonalSit.es https://personalsit.es/. Adding them to the garden: Interesting Websites https://techlifeweb.com/garden/Interesting%20Website%20Directories/ A couple of us that I know of are collecting these. If you have one you want to post, we've decided on the hashtag #WebDirectory #indieweb #smolweb

I posted 46 reasons why you should have a website.

It's not an exhaustive list. What other reasons am I missing? Tell me and I'll update the post. 🙏. Need to convince more of my friends to start one.
