Obsidian Daily Planner Plugin

If you’re like me and use Obsidian for note-taking, you might find the Daily Planner plugin extremely useful, especially when combined with a bit of scripting to automate your workflow. Thought I’d add the script I am currently using to generate templates. First, details. Template Details The template starts with the Day Planner section which displays the date for the following day in a clear, readable format. Below this, the template automatically records when the file was created and last modified.

5 layer QMK keyboard layout

New layout iteration on my customized split ergonomic keyboard with a 5-layer layout. Here’s a quick rundown: Base layer: Colemak layout for optimal typing speed and reduced finger movement. QWERTY layer: For when I need to switch back to the standard layout. Controls layer: Mouse keys, media controls, and special characters. Lower layer: Numbers, function keys, and additional symbols. Raise layer: Navigation, editing commands, and more symbols. Source code can be found on my github here

Colemak-DH on Mac

Karabiner-Elements Colemak-DH configuration for Mac. Source: karabiner.json Key features: Vim-style arrow keys (hjkl) Capslock as backspace Word and line deletion (forward/backward) Numpad overlay on vim arrows Custom controls (undo, redo, line navigation, multi-line selection) Karabiner-Elements Configuration Basics: Basic structure: { "from": { "key_code": "q", "modifiers": { "mandatory": [], "optional": [] } }, "to": [ { "key_code": "" } ], "type": "basic" } This structure defines a key remapping. “from” specifies the key to be remapped, “to” defines the new behavior, and “modifiers” allow for complex key combinations.

Finding audio files with Google

On Google type: ?intitle:index.of? *filetype* *filename* OR intitle:"index of" (*filetype*) *filename* -html -htm -php -jsp OR intitle:index.of (*filetype1*|*filetype2*) *filename* -HTML -htm -jsp -asp -php Replace: filetype: with “WAV”, “MP3” or any type of file format. Filename with whatever you are looking for (“clap”, “kick”, “stevie wonder”…). ✅ This is a great way to find sound effects, drum samples, music & obscure/weird sound files in general !

Enunciation Exercises

This is a collection of English words and phrases designed to help practice proper enunciation and pronunciation. Starter Exercises Perform these simple exercises to warm up your vocal muscles: Open your mouth and say “ah”. Put your tongue behind your top teeth and say “tuh”. Put your tongue behind your bottom teeth and say “duh”. Pucker your lips and say “puh”. Say “ee” like you are screaming. Say “oo” like you are in pain.
