Come to think of it. Half my life is spent debugging Java, JDK and JDBC driver issues.

Nothing to do with actual coding. Just untangling the mishmash of versions, certification matrices, incompatibility warnings, deprecate versions, CLASSPATH, vendor support.

'Write once, deploy anywhere'.

Yeah, right.

Apologies to @basil but my wife and daughter are on a restore/up cycling course so I'm in my local watching Ipswich vs Maidenhead. No dog to worry about.

'R.E.M. or U2 ?'
'R.E.M.'

[ This wasn't a huge surprise given Laconica releases used R.E.M. album names ]

I was supposed to be evaluating Orgmode TODO lists starting from scratch.

I then got diverted into looking (again) at orgroam.

Now I pondering on ox-hugo and the pros and cons of single Org file per post or single large orgmode file for my 1000 historical blog posts.

I blame @jbaty.

Now embarking on some endless, introspective meta thinking about note taking.

My temptation is to have a top-level node of Oracle' with second level nodes of 'APEX' and 'Database'. Then 'SQL_Scripts under 'Database' but I don't think this is the correct non-linear way of approaching it.

But hey, at least I'm creating some notes.

org-roam-ui doesn't really help with this as I just see a few lonely, isolated nodes with no backlinks. Plus it's following me around taunting me. #emacs

Just discovered

(setq ivy-use-selectable-prompt t)

I feel such an idiot as the ability to create a brand new object when none are appropriate in the pull-down irritated me.

This became more pressing when using org-roam-node-insert in #emacs.

People mock Emacs but VScode is a 362MB download. Plus the core product loves Microsoft and hates freedom.
