overdrafts is an excellent product (code?) name 😂
#
[tantek]
I look at old drafts like personal resource to be mined to extract points for new drafts
#
[tantek]
eventually when you've mined all the good points you thought you had in an old draft, you can delete it!
#
[Joe_Crawford]
That's one great thing. When I do my review of drafts I find sometimes a link that I meant to write about actually came up in another post.

LLMs would probably have zero issues with our discarded drafts.

[keithjgrant]: It can vary depending on the circumstances, but my personal opinion is that the closest Indieweb post type in terms of _intention_ to an Announce (repost), taking into account more _what Announces are used for and accomplish_ than anything else, is a quotation; closely followed by an actual repost; with a bookmark, like, reply, or a note that mentions the post in question (without being any of the other types) vying for third, depending...

!tell [Joe_Crawford] Why 23 days. Prime, but is this some magical productivity hack number?

I need help improving my system to make clickable bookshelves. I need photos of bookshelves to use in training a smaller, faster model to segment books. If anyone has a bookshelf, I'd love for you to share photos that I can use to train the model. The result will be open sourced under a Creative Commons non-commercial license and you'll get credit as a dataset contributor. Each photo should show a single shelf, like this: https://jamesg.bl
#
capjamesg
If you can help, email photos of your bookshelves to jamesg@jamesg.blog.
#
capjamesg
I do not want photos of multiple shelves at this time.
#
capjamesg
*as in, a photo with multiple shelves. Sending multiple images showing a single row of books would be perfect!

[jeremycherfas] 23 days is my interval to “revisit blog drafts” so that a) it’s not a consistent day of the week or month b) it’s not every week c) it’s not on my calendar so often that I ignore or am annoyed by it

Good enough reasons [Joe_Crawford] I have my recurring tasks on the same day each week precisely so that I know what's coming up without having to think about it. And I have a list of tasks to do manually at the start of the month. I thought their might be something specail about 23 days, like 43 folders.

I am not aware of any productivity hack that has quite the same intent as my oddball scheduling task. It's the opposite of constancy and predictability. So when I do revisit them it's usually with fresh eyes. I've taken a walk around the block since last time I looked at them. But again, some don't look at a drafts folder like they're a messy kitchen full of unwashed dishes, this hack is for me because I usually see them that way.

It's like the GTD tickle file, but I think theirs is monthly
bterry, ren and a51 joined the channel

The tickler file is 43 files. (31+12)
#
[tantek]
[jeremycherfas] indeed. Or in physical materials, 43 folders, because they collect the individual (paper) files which are more directly tied to individual tasks/projects. I think we discussed this in a HWC at some point, and I pointed out that didn't find the 31 particularly useful, and was able to simplify to only 12 in practice personally.

I guess if you are super busy managing several projects then the daily bucket is useful. I sometimes tie myself in knots trying to determine whether a deadline or reminder belongs in Reminders or Calendar. Wasn’t a problem with Fantastical but the subscription wasn’t worth it.
#
[tantek]
"whether a deadline or reminder belongs in Reminders or Calendar" <-- this is a real problem. Can relate
burley and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas]
My inclination is Reminders for repeating tasks, even if irregular and infrequent, Calendar for one-offs. But that is by no means ingrained.

[tantek] and Benji I played around with one (of many!) approaches to doing pseudo image maps on that IndieWeb blocks diagram. Not totally happy with the way this is but it points to how much capability is built into CSS to facilitate imagemap like effects. https://codepen.io/artlung/pen/BabeQNX

Hmm, interesting. I'm not sure what the green square hover effects are meant to mean though

[tantek] They're anchor tags with CSS applied. The green is just to make the linking more visible. Ultimately I think Benji's SVG approach is better. Wrote about it. https://artlung.com/blog/2024/02/21/benji-maps/

The svg output from the original is not great to work with so I went with stacking images and "highlighting" similar to my mugs page. Its not meant to be the final version since there can probably be additional sections highlighted and they can also link out to different pages but its a start: https://codepen.io/benjifs/pen/mdoYRNM
