Keeping Notes and Tasks Organized and Searchable Using Obsidian
Keeping track of tasks you work on, things you need to do, special notes, scripts, etc. can be a real challenge at times. That's where Obsidian comes in - Joe and I (Allen) have been fans of using Obsidian for quite some time, and he recently blew my mind with some things I didn't know where available when we were recording Episode 225 of the Coding Blocks Software Developer podcast.
www.codingblocks.net/episode225
obsidian.md
I thought I'd go ahead and share here because I really was excited to find out what he'd shared in that episode and I think MANY people might find useful bits in this as well.
Also note, one of the fantastic things about Obsidian is it is basically available everywhere....

    I thought that all of the different websites didn't describe the keyboards very well. Thirty six layers is fantastic! I ordered the blank keys because I will be using four languages: English, Spanish, Russian and classical Latin. I program with vim and I add that layout to Firefox with the Vimium C addon, I often use vi editing mode in the shell. I setup tmux to be vim compatible. I really like the hyper and meh keys because I use really complicated key sequences in Fvwm3. I am waiting for it to arrive. I think that using the mounting holes in the center, it ought to be easy to make a plate with some arms to fix it in place at different angles. I had a construction company, so we fabricated sheet metal flashing and other brackets all the time. Thanks for the best review on this keyboard I have seen.

      OK, I really like the thumbcluster lifted. I need a support 1.5 inches high under it. Some velcro tape and I need to cut a block with a slight angle. With small hands, it just has to be up, not down.

    Did you find the plastics are cracking? Every thing was great at first but after daily driving it for over a year the thumb module has broken off completely and the other thumb modules has cracks in the same place, won't be long before it gives up too. I didn't really think it would be that big of a deal to just buy a spare part their blog even gives a price list and tells you to contact support. There is a reason they don't sell the spares in their online store its because they don't sell spares PERIOD. They will only support you for the initial purchase and warranty so these longer term issues from daily wear mean you are going to have to buy a new one every year.

    You think you had it bad! I'm trying to adapt to the Advantage 2 keyboard AND learn to touch-type for the first time in my life...at the same time...and I'm about to turn 67. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get anywhere. I keep looking at other keyboards, then I think, nah, I already paid so much for this one.... And I only practice for 30 minutes a day.... At least I gave up on learning Dvorak too. When I started, I was going to learn Dvorak, touch-typing, and the KA2 all at once. I got up to 20 WPM before I threw in the towel. I think I have a tendency to bite off more than I can chew.

    Re: the indicator LEDs being out of sight: you can alleviate this by using layer specific lighting. I normally hate RGB stuff and keep it turned off, but since I'm using the Moonlander with the Platform the builtin LEDs are permanently out of my view. So I now have the three keys on the innermost part of the board light up the way the indicators would so I always know at a glance which layer is active without getting a full-on light show.

    Thank you for the honest review. I'm still with my Microsoft r4000 the granddaddy of all ergos. I remember having a try at one of these keyboards years ago and also looking at them again as I'm debating what to do with my 4000 keyboard as the wrists are fine but my fingers get sore from mashing on the keys after a while. Would be great if they had a place that would take your vintage keyboards and switch them to better switches, but I wonder if even that will help with the finger pain. Have a feeling that pads at the bottom of key travel may help some as I think the abrupt stop at the end of typing a letter is what is making my fingers sore. Thanks again for the review. Oh kinesis two reasons not jumping, I like a padded rest and return off from my pinky not thumb. Although I think like you said after a month it just may be worth the switch. Thanks again.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🎮 The Moonlander keyboard by ZSA is compact and portable, making it great for travel. 02:07 💡 You can separate the Moonlander keyboard's halves by about three feet, offering unique flexibility. 03:05 🌈 The keyboard has customizable backlighting with the ability to program each key individually. 04:25 📏 The keyboard's angle and tilt can be adjusted, though there are some limitations in positioning. 08:44 ⌨️ The Moonlander offers various key switch options, including tactile, clicky, and linear switches. 09:54 🔄 Key switches on the Moonlander are replaceable, allowing you to customize your typing experience. 13:42 🌐 The keyboard supports 36 programmable layers, making it highly versatile for different tasks. 16:03 ⚙️ The Moonlander has unique modifier keys like "Mechy" and "Hyper" for efficient key combinations. 18:48 🏗️ The keyboard is well-built with a two-year warranty, ensuring longevity and reliability. 20:54 🖱️ Some minor drawbacks include limited grip on certain surfaces and the need for a learning curve due to its unique layout and functions. 21:38 🔍 The Moonlander ergonomic keyboard has a columnar key layout, but the keys are a decent distance apart, which may require some hand shifting. 22:48 🔉 The Moonlander with Cherry MX Blue switches is quite loud, even more so because the key switches are exposed and not recessed into the casing. 26:17 🌟 The Moonlander offers extensive customizability for key layouts, but finding the right layout might require experimentation and adjustment. 30:45 🌐 The Moonlander is suitable for those who want a portable and customizable keyboard, but it may not be the best choice for those with tendon or finger pain due to the key spacing. 33:31 🕒 Spending time to customize the Moonlander can lead to an excellent typing experience, but using the default layout may not be as satisfying.

      Yeah. Really it boiled down to two things. 1. My place of employment basically said don’t use any of the AI technologies because there is a ton of legal gray area as well as making sure you don’t accidentally leak company secrets by submitting that to the various AI bits out there. And 2. As I mentioned in the video, I’m coaching and I also have a couple other kids so my “free” time isn’t so free any more :-) That said, I’m glad I did take the plunge because what I showed in the video is incredible, but there are a ton more uses outside those that are just amazing!

  • @rajeshrs1496
    @rajeshrs1496 Год назад

    Picked up this keyboard last year and I did some work on it, to learn how well I could use it. Turned out I was way faster and better with a regular keyboard, some regular exercises, and some strength training and stretches. Regular mechanical keyboards are just fine for most people. What's required is a change in the lifestyle of the users, so that they don't hurt themselves through excessive uncomfortable use of keyboards owing to bad positions and repetitive strain. Gimmicky keyboards like the Moonlander are a) not for everyone due to the significant learning curve, b) not guaranteed to solve repetitive strain or carpal tunnel problems

    • @KenW418
      @KenW418 3 месяца назад

      While I agree with you that lifestyle changes are the most important factors when it comes to pain, there is a ton of science that shows things like splitting the keyboard to prevent ulnar deviation, and tenting the keyboard as well as other positioning reduces pressure on joints and tendons when having to type for long periods of time. These positioning elements are universal and objectively better than a standard keyboard. Does it have to be a moonlander? No. However people should definitely get a split keyboard with a slight tenting angle if they are going to be typing for 8+ hours per day.

    • @rajeshrs1496
      @rajeshrs1496 2 месяца назад

    I have one, and have a few issues. It is extremely bulky, I think the cursor keys often work much better in a triangular or diamond pattern since I often use these keys repetitively. And if they had just put the control key in the normal position would have been so nice for me. That is the thing that mostly irritating.
