Just getting started..

Jsut realized I have been lacking in taking notes on the items that I do. Used to be really good at writing things down (I don't use onenote perfer good old paper and pen); trying to find notes on something I did back 2 years ago (pre-pandemic) and last notes I have are from 2018. Need to force myself back into teh note habbit, especiall as we're moving to a new model of zero trust/quazi lan less.
I like paper and pen while writing but then find them useless (mostly because I lose them.) So I have to force myself to take notes in Zoho WorkDrive or else, why bother, lol.

I'm the same with paper, although I use Google Keep Notes.

I've been following them for a while but have not played with one. Ask @stacksofplates about how he likes it.

Hadn't seen or heard of it,.. so wasn't sure what reMarkable was... WOW that is pretty cool... but holy cow - needs to come down a little in price... maybe.
reMarkable 2 $299
marker Plus $129
Book folio $119
replacement tips $35That's an investment... but quite interesting.. Now... if I can just remember where I wrote that note..

I just got it Friday. I know two other people who have it and they convinced me it was worth it. I'll let everyone know how it is after I get to use it for a bit.

About to record a video.

While the system is still stable, thus far setting up the SDR server hasn't been successful... so starting a fresh install of Ubuntu server to clean up the mess the make/build process has created...
sigh - I'm not using a rPi - but so many guides are set up just for that platform... some of the dependencies don't seem to be available on x86

Have you used one? do you like it?
I too prefer note taking on paper... and then have lots of tablets of paper in my office.
I see now that you haven't.

I have a Rocketbook notebook that I take notes in and then am able to digitize quickly. Works well for me at least. They do like their marketing buzwords. https://getrocketbook.com/pages/how-rocketbook-works

Heck no. I just use the notebook and erase a project worth of notes when I run out of space. Just have to make sure I never loose that pen, it's expensive to replace.

What does the pen have to do with it? you're taking a picture with your phone.

Oh - you're using their whiteboard to write on... what's that like compared to writing on paper?

It's exactly like writing on paper. I have the RocketBook Core, which is basically 15 whiteboards in a smallish spiral bound notebook.
