šļø#1 - Idle ramblings, documented
Memos
Iāve added a new memos feature to my blog site. As much as I enjoy writing āproperā blog posts, I find the mental barrier a bit harder to overcome.
I find I need to:
-
Have a topic worth discussing
-
Write well and edit carefully
-
Come to some sort of reasonable conclusion (as opposed to āI did this and it didnāt workā)
-
Have the energy to open up an editor and start writing
Memos, inspired by those from Barrucadu, are an attempt at making writing easier and more frequent. Theyāll be:
-
Less structured (and probably less interesting)
-
Aimed at getting myself writing and documenting things more over writing entertaining/useful content
-
Easier to write (for me) due to a lower barrier to entry
-
About more than just tech things
On that barrier to entry; these memos are pulled from a source I always have open and tend to spend most of my day anyway; my Notion workspace.
I have created a new āMemosā database which Eleventy will pull from on build time, generating memos directly from this database. My hope is that I can just jot things down as I go here (as I do anyway), but have these published to the site.
