an offline computing tool is good to have~

i have converted "most" of my daily notebook based systems into digital, in this old ibm thinkpad, and saving my files on the iomega zip disk format, a 100 megabyte disk right now. To be clear, I did not copy notebooks over to digital, I haven't thought about that 🤔. But just my systems going forward, for now.

I think its a good element I've introduced into my universe. I've resumed the full qigong 8 movement form I have learned and been working on, but have put off for a time. I have done the full form for the past two days now, and recorded it digitally. (libreoffice ftw) And I have started a book today 'Forever Strong' about how our muscles (so far, specifically skeletal muscles) have a lot to do with our overall health. And how we can take care of them through diet/nutrition (protein emphasized) and exercise (resistance exercise emphasized). But i'm only in ch2 now.

And I picked up Mistborn again after a long rut. So the point is. I was trying to record 'reading' and 'gaming' so I could work on doing more of the 'productive' things. And I recorded the reading in another spreadsheet, as it were.

Got a system in place for typical journal style. That's kind of interesting. I am sort of thinking to approach that almost like an invisible blog. And by using images for my own personal files, at 4ish mb's a piece, I could imagine those 100meg disks being handy and then upgrading to 250's being nice. hehe.

And the MyNotex just happens to be a solution I found to try for a thinking type app. And I chose this app, because there was a version that worked both on my linux distro and more importantly there was a 32bit version that would work with my (old) laptop. (modern computers are 64bit (my understanding is 64 can run 32bit software but 32bit hardware can't handle the "newer" 64bit software :P))

Yea so life is getting a bit more interesting. There exists an offline. Who'da'thunk it ?
