Hello! These are my notes. The source for this site is available in the
bcarranza/notes
project on gitlab.com
. This is (the latest iteration of) my digital garden at work. These are evergreen notes. Like everything, these notes and this site are in draft form. This enables me to get started with scribbling things down and worrying about the rest later. These notes are available at notes.brie.dev.

Every now and then, something rings a bell. Sometimes it's relevant, sometimes it's not. To speed the time to find the ringing bell, see Rang a Bell.

I mark Geo-related issues of interest with the :globe_with_meridians:
emoji. I then use this link to filter for issues where My-Reaction
is that emoji (๐)).
Here's a list of the emoji I use in issues:
- ๐ก - Pipeline Insights
- ๐ - GraphQL

Behind the Scenes¶
I write the Markdown for this site (mostly) in Obsidian.
Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base on top of
a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
That Markdown is converted to HTML and deployed to GitLab Pages via GitLab CI. The job that does the โจ magic โจ uses MkDocs. While this set up works quite well for me, there are a few downsides.
- Obsidian is not currently open source.
- I permit "mega commits". I use bad commit messages and commit a bunch of files all at once.
- I do that here in the spirit of getting things out of my head and in my notes site where they can be useful to others as quickly as possible.
- Some page names have spaces in them.

- I don't like this but...here we are.
- Maybe I'll move to something like StandardNotes one day but I like pretty things, enough to accept URLs with
