Diary entry for 2020-07-13

July 13, 2020 Updated: July 18, 2020

learning how to use the vimwiki diary effectively with new Jekyll site
- Currently wondering why they call it “Jekyll”
Need to figure out a good way to delete unwanted notes
- currently have to manually delete md files from wiki and corresponding md files in my Jekyll site’s _notes folder
- easiest solution is probably to put it in the glue perl script, markdown_to_note
Also need to modify markdown_to_note file determine if a note is a diary entry
Made a bunch of notes. So far I’m loving this new setup and integration with vimwiki. I think I have a solution for maintaining a site that I finally enjoy working with.
Watched a ZETTELKASTEN video:
- also see “second brain”: https://maggieappleton.com
turned on spell check for vimwiki
- added setlocal spell to vimwiki file
took cousin to Boston for appt.
- went to Max’s Tavern afterward
came home, took a very long nap 😁
picked up first Twitter follower on my new account
vim is once again very slow to scroll in a perl file of modest size.
- Seems like nested braces are what do it?
- disabling syntax highlighting doesn’t help
- :set ttyfast doesn’t help
- :set lazyredraw doesn’t help
- in a separate window outside of tmux it is very fast
  - something to do with tmux?
- Opening in new tmux window does not help
- Seem restarting tmux does the trick
  - also turned off opacity
