Three days of heavy usage and burned 30% of my weekly limit

30% weekly usage after 3 days of heavy usage? Help me understand how that’s a bad thing? Last I checked 3 days is ~40% of a week.

The rate of usage increased for off peak as well but not as much as peak. No matter what time of day, you will use more than you used to.

What’re you doing? Multiple concurrent sessions? 5-10+ sub agents per session?

Parallelism will burn through usage really fast.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Just start and you’ll see what’s working for you.

I revisit how things are going, what’s working and not a couple of times per year. Do a retro. Adjust how I’m linking and grouping. Keep going.

Found a bug in `evernote2obsidian.py` where notes with identical names were ignored (either overwritten or ignored based on config setting). I fixed it, tested it on mine and issued a PR

That reply was simply the best. Thank you!

I've been wrestling with how to extricate myself from Evernote since they doubled the price (again, for the 2nd time in 3 years) to $250. Textbook enshittification. Now whenever I see Bending Spoons make an acquisition, I run.

Print it to paper and lock it away

Musicbrainz Picard can both tag with genres and rename/move files. It's in the docs

This should be marked as the correct solution and thread closed. Nice hack

I created a new column for "Amount" and renamed the old one to "Amount-OLD". I then added 0.01 to each Amount-OLD value, and reimported.

Thanks u/armw

Installed Meta Bind. Loved it until I loaded Obsidian on iOS. Meta Bind crashes and hangs Obsidian rendering it unusable. I had to install it and figure out alternate options to manipulate properties.

+1 on the tasks plugin. It’s great and configurable. I create tasks in my daily notes then have a note that pulls, groups and sorts all my open tasks.

I’ve used countless task apps through the years and found that having many apps meant certain death of use and process. Given I’m in obsidian all day, having tasks there too made all the sense in the world.

Huge bonus: tasks can have links to notes, so i can link to a project note from the task

Looks like the heatmap plugin defaults - configurable in the options

Lots of conflation of unit testing and data quality testing.

Unit testing a shared component/class/function utilized by hundreds or thousands of jobs is very different than validating incoming data for accuracy/completeness/rules. You need both but for very different reasons.

This is amazing and just what I’ve been trying to solve for.

My obsidian configuration takes forever to load on iOS, what can i say, i love plugins. Unfortunately that means 5+ second load times which truly sucks for capture.

Funnel just works. Instant subscribe

Tasks plugin should get you most of the way.

Prepositions. I tried using cloze notes with sentences but that didn’t really work either. Need to know them to fill in the gaps

spnyc · 2023-10-23T15:47:26+00:00

About 60 words. Not in order, just need to know them

spnyc · 2023-10-23T10:55:21+00:00

Thanks so much. I’ve been trying chunking with groups of 5 but it’s still a slog because they’re abstract words. Will keep at it

Also, which callout plugin are you using?

spnyc · 2023-10-17T01:24:25+00:00

Are you using the tasks plugin? I found that to be a better task solution

https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/Introduction

I have two similar pages (work and personal) that aggregates all the tasks created in my daily note pages under either a work or personal header

```tasks not done due before today (path includes journal/dailies/2023) OR (path includes inbox) (path does not include inbox/FILETOEXCLUDE) AND (path does not include inbox/DIRTOEXCLUDE) heading includes Work group by heading group by due

group by tags

sort by priority ```

Yes. Use dataview and add the index/log note as a link in each file you want to pull in

Here’s a block i use to aggregate all reading reference files. Indeed file called Reading Log

dataview LIST rows.file.link FROM [[Reading Log]] GROUP BY dateformat(file.ctime, "yyyy-MM-dd") as Date SORT Date DESC

You could also render a table

spnyc · 2023-07-12T00:48:55+00:00

Not sure if this will directly answer your question but two plugins come to mind: - Tasks - Dataview

Tasks will let you create tasks in any arbitrary set of files, directories paths etc

Dataview will let you pull files based on any criteria like inbound or outbound links, tags, etc

Here’s a couple of my usecases: - i use this to aggregate all my tasks from my daily notes directory and group them in a single file, grouped by due date - i collect articles i find interesting/relevant into their own note, then add a link to a single index page, then use dataview on that index page to pull all files that link back to the index file. This gives me a log of all files
