2026-01-05 Notes

Goals + Recap

Happy New Year! 🎉
Nothing much happened over Chrismas break.
I wanted to finish a couple of long pending books on IPv6 and Computer Architecture, but I couldn’t find the time.
Today I decided to add a new service to the cluster. Am going to hunt for some book tracking service and use that to for my books.
143 posts in 2025. This once I feel pretty proud. Most of them are these notes. But even that counts. I wanted a sustained writing habit, and this was the first year, I wrote all throughout.

Coffee time!
I need to be done by 2!

2026-01-05 09:00: Found Booklogr. Trying it out.
2026-01-05 09:10: Nope. Not for me.
2026-01-05 09:13: Found Jelu.

Back. If I don’t find stuff, then I probably will use one of the above tools.
2026-01-05 11:12: Just remembered a fan of the Cal Newport podcast had built a similar page in Notion. Looking at if I can do something similar with Obsidian or Affine
2026-01-05 11:25: Too fidgety
2026-01-05 11:33: Trying booklogr again. Nope. Back to Obsidian
2026-01-05 12:45: Gave up on Obsidian. It’s not fun. I’m going to have to install Bookwyrm, aren’t I?
2026-01-05 13:14: Gave up. Will stick to the same old, same old, plain reading post this year. And keep an eye out for something that’ll help me.
2026-01-05 13:36: Created a new page for this years reading. Lunch
