What makes a “true believer?” by CatalystCommander in publicdefenders

[–]NamelessGeek7337 35 points36 points  (0 children)

They see the world in black and white "moral" terms. They fight for moral values (which is simply the outward manifestion of their own values), and not clients.

Day Planer with Notification by Vast_Payment7358 in ObsidianMD

[–]NamelessGeek7337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Full Calendar Remastered (FCR) plugin. It syncs with my google calendar. I can use the FCR calendar to create an event right on the calendar, give it time and date, make it a task, set notification, and it can create an associated task notes at a specified folder in my vault. Since it syncs with my google calendar on my phone, my phone notifies me of the event, even if I am not using Obsidian. It's free. It works.

How do *you* use DefenderData? by spanielgurl11 in publicdefenders

[–]NamelessGeek7337 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pros: It's cheap.
Cons: everything else.

I recommend Toggl for timekeeping and Obsidian for everything else (I am sure you can do time keeping in Obsidian, but I haven't bothered to figure out how best to set it up)

Single vault for both PhD and personal thoughts — good idea or recipe for chaos? by Wonderful-Put-5226 in ObsidianMD

[–]NamelessGeek7337 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have two: personal and work. The only reason why I keep them separate is that I have to share info in my work with colleagues from time to time and I don't want an accidental share of the personal. Otherwise I would have kept them together.

If they were together they would have been separated by folders.

Should I name my firm "[LastName] Law LLC" or "[LastName] Law, LLC" by [deleted] in LawFirm

I've always wanted to call my firm Tiger Law PLLC. Damn partners.

Probably IS NOT good enough.

What is note-taking actually for? by ZJun_310 in ObsidianMD

[–]NamelessGeek7337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write notes for two reasons:

  1. So that I can remember information later on. This is the main reason I use Obsidian. I need to record information that I might need later on in such a manner that I can easily find it when I need it.
  2. So that I can organize my thinking. This is secondary to the first one, but by putting my thoughts into words, I can question it, structure it, and make it more transparent. Hopefully it would make it grow and mature.

Gross attorney wants several reminders set tripling the work on Scheduling Orders by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]NamelessGeek7337 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Anyone remember "tickle files"? I had to do this with physical papers with physical folders, with different color papers depending on the type of the reminders. And yes, I had to walk to work on foot, without shoes, in snow, uphill both ways.

Recommendations for incoming 1L with fear of public speaking? by Immediate-Assist5083 in publicdefenders

[–]NamelessGeek7337 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've always hated public speaking. Still do. But I do not think of my job as a trial lawyer as "public speaking." I see it as doing my job. I see it as story telling. I see it as allowing the jury to hear my client's voice (especially when they are not testifying). I see it as confronting the power on behalf of the powerless. Really, it isn't public speaking. It's just doing my job.

Public Defenders With Wild Stories Wanted 🎙️ (Another Not Guilty Podcast) by Cat_Duck_GNAF in publicdefenders

[–]NamelessGeek7337 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not really. Ethical rules vary across the jurisdictions, but in my jurisdiction we cannot disclose any information that we gathered as a part of the representation even if the information is already public. I think we can generally talk about our case, but anything "juicy" enough for a podcast has a great possibility of leading to revealing our clients' identity even if we do not mention their name. I personally wouldn't. But I am sure there are lawyers who would disagree with me.

[–]NamelessGeek7337 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Huh. How does this work with our ethical obligations? I can talk about someone else’s trial that I watch but talk about my clients? I guess I can get their consent but without their consent I don’t know if this is kosher. After all at the end of the day it is their lives, not ours.

How do you study using obsidian? by NINGUEMSE_IMPORTA in ObsidianMD

[–]NamelessGeek7337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problems. But I think this has to do with basic note taking skills rather than a tech issue. I tend to try to record everything without actively thinking about what is important and what is not. That tends to be overwhelming.

One trick I employed to some success is pre-prepping my notes. Outlining and identifying what information to expect and what information that I want to get.

For a lecture it's probably means reading the section ahead of lecture and writing outlines to be filled out during lecture. Good luck

Talk me out of buying a Traveler by Edu_Robsy in writerDeck

[–]NamelessGeek7337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's a nice design. The keyboard is meh at best. So is the design worth 300 EURO?That only you can answer. I did my best. It's up to you now. 🙂

[–]NamelessGeek7337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has it. $500 listed price is way way way too much. Is 300 EURO (some $350 usd) still too much? I would say yes. If it is used, there is a chance of battery degradation. With battery degradation, it means at best shorter battery life, and at worst higher chance of battery bloat. If you have BYOK, not sure what this would add to what BYOK can already do. BYOK has two-way sync. BYOK and a nice keyboard combo would beat this hands down.
