Recent changes in my health have made it such that some days I’m couch-bound upstairs, while my office (and primary work computer) is in the basement. This has led to some interesting solutions for my daily work. My day job at Oracle I can mostly do from my couch and my work laptop. The only…

I often need to strip emoji from strings to prevent them from messing up other handling. I’ve been compiling regular expressions and I think I finally have all the bases covered.

There’s a new version of Marked 2 out (available on all channels) that adds some important fixes and a couple of new features. Streaming Preview First off, I fixed the Streaming Preview for everybody. Every time I fixed it to work with The Archive, I broke it for Drafts, and so on. I’m certain I’ve…

I received a request a while back, shortly after my post about Marked 2 and Obsidian, asking me to support Obsidian callouts. I don’t remember who made the request, but it got lodged in the back of my head. I had an hour today to knock out a solution. Rather than trying to incorporate this…
