Notes from a small desk — tools, type, and the occasional side project.

Keeping a plain-text logbook

One file per month, one heading per day. Nothing clever, which is exactly why it has survived three laptops and two editors.

High-density displays quietly settled an old argument. Long reading in a good serif is simply more comfortable now.

Small tools, small wins

A shell alias that saves ten seconds a day pays for itself within a week. I keep a list of the ones worth keeping.
