In Perth, looking into recording with Ardour. Experimenting with HLedger plain text accounting and trying to get VIM motion keys embedded in muscle memory.

Back in Perth after a month in Malaysia. Awesome scenery, lovely people. Re-working Obsidian vault to remove Dataview/Inline fields in favour of YAML metadata and Bases/Datacore Experimenting with Claude Code and Android apps. Effectively retired now. Still on the books (gotta love long service leave) but no longer contributing.
