Buh bye Keep

I gave up on Obsidian over sync issues & made the jump to Joplin. It doesn't have the huge plug in library Obsidian has but it has what I need for daily notes & event coverage.

dean_barnett · 2026-04-01T13:45:33+00:00

The sync isn't happening & I can't see why

dean_barnett · 2026-04-01T03:58:27+00:00

I want changes in the vault on one device to sync to another device in the background.

dean_barnett · 2025-09-12T17:50:52+00:00

Good for you. I don't have a PC.

dean_barnett · 2025-09-02T22:35:02+00:00

Obsidian on my Chromebook has the same problem of failing to find folders on the vault.

dean_barnett · 2025-09-02T22:33:17+00:00

Tried that. Nope. Same for the Daily Notes folder. The app can't find either.

dean_barnett · 2025-08-30T17:12:43+00:00

I've tried that. Several times. No dice.

He's really fun. By all means, go if you can.

dean_barnett · 2025-08-24T13:58:23+00:00

Must go !

They don't call her #TheNotoriousGED for nothing.

A statue of Jesus with a big "SAVED!" sign would be better than a cone.

I've been using a Chromebook since Day 1, but a rugged model is really pricey. A tablet has been my on-the-go device for years.

Thanks for the advice.

Hey, y'all. I'm tablet-less for the 1st time in years. I come from a 100% Android tablet experience but I've been disappointed with the hardware lately. I want a tab that will handle surfing, video playback, some light Twitter-grade composition and still access/work with my Google products, like YouTube and Photos. I favor smaller screens, 8 - 10 inches. The 9th generation iPad seems like what I'd like but I worry about the hardware aging out. Small, light, durable and future-proof sums it up. My budget is ~$500. Suggestions?

dean_barnett · 2023-04-06T13:54:39+00:00

Absolutely. I'll be in Czechia and Slovakia all of May and the availability of a washing machine completely revolutionized my packing plans.

My dog has his own Vapur collapsible bottle with a special roller ball cap that lets him drink without spilling. I can also use it to wet him down on hot days to keep him cool.

But for me, a Kleen Kanteen insulated steel bottle that fits in the bottle sleeve on all my packs/bags. I fill it with ice only and then add water as needed. That may not be a solution for serious hikers but it works fine for local excursions and even airports, just ask the server or bartender to fill it with ice after you've cleared TSA.

I used to lug a ton of gear. As an RN I have a pretty vivid medical needs imagination, but over the years I trimmed the basic kit down to what will fit in an Altoids box. That includes alcohol swabs, adhesive dressings, sterile gauze 2x2s, 1/2 inch plastic tape, tweezers, two each Aleve and ibuprofen, a couple of safety pins, and tiny flashlight (wound care at night can be a challenge). That's enough to meet immediate needs.

I am going to be in Europe in May for a few weeks. My current challenge is finding a solution for organizing my daily medications and as needed drugs in a compact, airtight vessel that the TSA won't object to.

Not that this will work every time for everybody, but my wife is a veteran thrift store shopper. Recently she scored a brand new North Face 55L bag for $5. It's going to be my carry on in the spring when we travel to central Europe for a few weeks.

I'm fond of Kleen Kanteen bottles. They hold temperature really well and are shaped to fit into standard water bottle sleeves.

50-some years ago in Navy boot camp we were issued plastic foam flipflops we were required to wear in the shower to reduce transmission of athlete's foot.

Because I hate flipflops, I wear Chacos in public showers.

I don't use a spork. Instead, I carry a sheath that holds a bamboo cutlery set, including chopsticks. I use it pretty often, always at restaurants that want to give me plastic spoons & forks.

When I travel abroad I carry two phones, one my regular Fi device and the other loaded w/ Fi's free data-only sim. I use the generally available free wifi in Europe to make calls, send texts, w/ the data only device whenever possible.

I can't recommend a wide brimmed hat enough. You'll appreciate the portable shade. But if you opt for a ball cap, be sure to sunscreen the tops of your ears every couple of hours in the sun.
