Back in the old country, I had several physical dictionaries within reach of the desk at which I wrote. You know, for those times when I need to find or look up a word and not just because I thought they looked kind of impressive. When I moved overseas, those dictionaries went to new homes. Since then, I haven't replaced those tomes. When I need a dictionary, I turn to the Linux command line and use dict. And, no, doing that isn't as geeky or techie as it seems. Let's take a quick look at usi...| Open Source Musings
My needs around staying organized are fairly simple. I use a digital calendar and a paper notebook to keep on top of what I need to do, where I need to be, and the like. That said, I like the idea of a simple, all-in-one tool. One that only packs a few features, but which does those few things well. Two or three years ago, when I was using elementary OS as my main Linux distribution, I came across an application called Planner. At the time, I thought it wasn't all that bad a piece of software...| Open Source Musings
It's been a while since I've used a dedicated Markdown editor. It's not that I've soured on that type of application, but I've found that a fairly simple text editor is more than enough for my needs. That said, there are more than a few solid Markdown editors for the Linux desktop — I've looked at a few over the life of this blog, as you might recall. It's time to look at three more. So let's jump in, shall we? !--more-- Formiko You can do more with Formiko than edit Markdown files. You...| Open Source Musings
When Red Hat went on a redundancy spree a few months ago, one of the teams affected was the one behind Opensource.com. That left the community which had grown around the site in more than a bit of flux. Thanks to the support of the Open Source Initiative, that community now has a new home: OpenSource.net. That site's in its early stages, but there's still quite a bit to learn there. As a former Opensource.com correspondent, it's great to see the community find a new corner on the web. And I'm...| Open Source Musings
Here's a quick look at yet another trio of useful little tools for the Linux desktop that can help you quickly and efficiently tackle some simple tasks. The utilities I'm about to look at are ones that you might not always use, but they are handy to have around when you need them. Let's jump in, shall we? !--more-- Breathing Sometimes, we all just need a break. It doesn't have to be very long — only a minute or two, but that's enough time to refocus ourselves and relax a bit. That's whe...| Open Source Musings
In late summer and early autumn, 2023 I began to reevaluate the tools that I use. As part of that process, I not only started embracing simpler tools again, but also embraced more software minimalism. One area in which I began planning a refocus was around the tool that I use to take notes. Part of that process had me pondering what my ideal note taking application would look like. The results of that pondering, to be honest, surprised me. Well, just a little ... Let's take a peek at what my ...| Open Source Musings
A while back, I looked at a trio of simple but effective password management applications for the Linux desktop.
