What I’m reading: The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper by Roland Allen

The Notebook is a deep dive into the history and usefulness of notebooks over the centuries. The author takes a journey from the days of parliament, vellum, and finally into the world where cheap paper opened up the usefulness of notebooks to nearly everyone. He has us meet Leonardo da Vinci, whose notebooks are famous to this day, or Aminto Manucci and Luca Piacioli, the creators and philosophers of double-entry bookkeeping, who changed life in many ways beyond that. He discusses authors, thinkers, scientists, and artists, and what the notebook meant/means to them.

Da mir öfters mal Leute gesagt haben das es sie bei Notebooks von Lenovo nervt das die FN und nicht die Strg Taste ganz links ist


Das ist die Tastatur meines aktuellen Lenovo Arbeitsnotebook. Ist für mich blöd, da ich die frühere Anordnung gewöhnt bin, aber das Arbeitsnotebook wird eh nur in Verbindung mit einer Dockingstation, einer externen Tastatur etc. benutzt.

Ob es an der derzeitigen Hitze liegt? Vermutlich nicht. Mein #ThinkPad T450s schaltet sich neuerdings beim Booten, noch bevor irgend eine Meldung angezeigt wird, wieder ab. Manchmal leuchtet auch die LED im Einschaltknopf weiter, aber der Bildschirm bleibt schwarz. Der zweite oder dritte Einschaltversuch funktioniert zwar meist, aber ich vermute das Gerät stirbt. Schlecht. Ich brauche wohl Ersatz. Falls jemand ein nicht #Windows11 taugliches #Notebook übrig hat …

About a decade ago I tried to get into the Rocketbook smart notebook thing.

I've dug the notebook out, and the pens (they still work!).
I still can't find a use case, and it's still a lousy system.
I can scan & save a paper notebook page without special paper & pens - but I don't know why I'd want to.

Maybe I'm just not the right type of consumer again.

The biggest flaw in my experiment with pen & paper for my travel plans came to me as a result of a dream last night.

I won't bother you with the dream, I'm not even sure I understand it myself, but the summary is 'if I lose my notebook then I lose my plans' compared with 'if I lose my phone my plans are still in the Zoho cloud (and I can buy another phone)'.

I have a solution (I think) which I'll try out today. This is to photograph each of my notebook pages and keep them safe on a USB drive I keep with our passports.
(This is an extension of my original plan to move away from cloud storage of many of my notes and backups, but that's a different story).

Continued thread

Otra versión de esta misma app, y creada por el mismo autor, es esta otra que tengo subida también a mi servidor, que hace lo mismo pero en la que puedes crear varias notas y se genera un índice con ellas.

La podéis probar igual. Igual que la anterior, no envía nada a mi servidor, todo sucede en vuestro navegador.

This analogue travel notebook planning idea is wizard!

By transcribing my notes from the online notebook to the physical notebook I've identified a couple of anomalies in my plans fot our next Interrail trip.
I certainly wouldn't have noticed these in the online version.

Nothing disastrous or 'fatal' but several bits of missing useful information, and one missed reservation for train seats (non-compulsory but advised).

So, this is looking to be a very positive move away from #digital to #analogue
