MIkes Thoughts

spring almost

Well not really. It’s going on fall really so right now Siem Reap has beautiful cool mornings. Went out last night for beers. Met with bill. I had my fill. Done with barangs for a time. Now though let’s talk spring. Spring Coffee that is. Really nice and comfortable place not that far from the house. I can sit and write. Which means you will be able to read more blathering. Like usual the WiFi is stellar here. I have run into only a few places that have issues here. One of them is the house now. My wife’s son works in his room and bought fiber coming to his room. It’s a nice WiFi thing. But it never works for us. I can connect every so often and then it stops. Easier to just use my phone and hotspot. That works a treat. So in lieu of WiFi for all at home I upgraded my cellular data. Now I get 150gb for $10 a month. Yeah. Not a typo. Like unlimited cellular data really.

Maybe some day her son will want to move the router in his room back where it was. If not life at home doesn’t require WiFi.

Back to Tuesday. Coffee. Walking. Originally I was supposed to go to Kampot tomorrow for a week. I felt this need for away time. Like maybe a reset. A reboot and logging out of this life and into another. Could not do it because no one at the house does the puppy stuff like playing, holding. They love all that stuff. Like all puppies ever.

Something totally different

Comes this way. I have been trying different apps for journaling. What I have found is best for me is having the files not hidden in some library or database. I want them written in iCloud. So I found this app Cozy Journal. The lovely thing with it is it writes the files in regular old markdown format. I can edit them in another app or just move on if I feel. This makes the whole writing thing portable for me. So maybe I will stay with it. If I don’t I have all the goodies available with no exports. I could have just used obsidian. There’s a problem with that though. I don’t like the app. I don’t do knowledge systems or second brains or rampantly wikilink. There’s no point since I don’t take notes and all the writing is this blog thing or the daily journal.

Anyways that is my spring. Well fall. Now my coffee awaits. And the words are done.
