AI

My daughter has been sending me adorable AI-generated images of her and my grandson in various Christmas get-ups. They’re so fun and cute and she’s having a blast.

I wanted a more generic version of my emacs lisp function for creating new posts. Claude helped me write it.

I asked Claude to summarize my recent blog posts. Claude knows me.

AI can be useful to me, personally.

I maintain a list of shell commands for updating Make/Model/Lens information in film scans. I’ve always run this via babel in a code block in an Org mode file. Something like this:

I’ve been testing a version of Johnny Decimal using folders and org-mode files. While doing this, I found myself frequently wanting to create a new .org file in the current (Dired) directory with the same name as the directory (long story).

When creating a new project folder (group) in DEVONthink, I often make use of Templates. Templates are just files in a folder somewhere that get copied into the DEVONthink database. For example, I have a project “starter” Tinderbox document named “Basic Project Template.tbx”. When inserting the template file into my DEVONthink project, it uses the same name as the original, which isn’t helpful. DEVONthink is very scriptable, so I wrote an AppleScript to rename the selected document the same as the enclosing group/folder.
