Note taking script

v1

Note taking bash script.
needs: fzf, ripgrep; likes: batcat

note --help
Usage:>
  note + | new "title"
  note l | list
  note   | open [query]
  note c | cat [query]
  note g | grep | s <query>
  note "quick note" (flow.md)
  note h | -h | --help
  (pipe stands for or)
Storage: /home/b/notes

Multiple parameters to run same command, for example

note
# and
note open

are the same (neat little dual pane tui is presented), and if you add a parameter (file name approximation)

note open gemma

it will open first filename that has some gemma in there. Search is similar.

note s

will open neat little tui as well, piping ripgrep output to fzf and behaving like file selector.

note c

should cat last changed note.

note list

should list files/notes to stdout, not sure if this is needed (open does similar job).

Text editor, by default $EDITOR variable is used, if undefined it will try to load hx (helix). Configure to your needs. By default notes will be stored in $HOME/notes, configure as needed.

This is by far the most boring script I have (vibe coded) produced, pretty sure there must be gazzilions out there.

v2

An attempt at simplification of the flow/ux

note -h
Usage:
  note "text"         → create/reopen note
  note new "title"    → explicit title
  note l              → list
  note                → open (fzf)
  note c              → cat latest
  note s              → search (rg|fzf)
  note h              → help

Not needing the specific title is the idea, so

note nice weather today

should produce something. Inbox idea (flow.md) was removed completely.

Dad Energy

About image

Asking local gemma4 model what is image about. Image used https://unsplash.com/photos/letters-spelling-dad-energy-connected-to-plugs-yHCzLBZ1_vc

# gemma4:latest               c6eb396dbd59    9.6 GB 
echo "Whats in this image?" | time ollama run gemma4 ./stuff03.png

returns

The power of the image lies in its strong visual metaphor. It combines the literal symbol of electrical power with the phrase “DEAD ENERGY.”
The electrical plug and cord are universally recognized symbols of power and function. By literally connecting these symbols to the phrase “Dead Energy,” the artist creates a direct visual representation of depletion, low power, or burnout.

OCR and about the Dad vs Dead mistake

Geamma can also OCR, so screenshoting this html page and feeding that to gemma and asking about the mistake

time ollama run gemma4 ./ocr.png "Can you OCR please? And what do you think about this 'dad' vs 'dead' thing? btw: dead comes from gemma4 incorectly recognizing the word 'dad'"

Sidenote: Command is not working with echo pipe as with previous example.

returns

What you are seeing is a prime example of how the “wrong” answer can be creatively superior to the “correct” one. The model didn’t just misidentify the word; it misinterpreted the intent behind the phrase. By shifting “Dad” to “Dead,” the AI created a richer, more metaphorical, and ultimately more dramatic analysis of the visual subject, turning a simple family-themed image into a meditation on depletion and burnout.

That is some seriously high self-confidence.

Short and funny Chuck Norris joke please.

Chuck Norris can silence an entire orchestra with just a well-placed… side-eye.

Chuck Norris doesn’t need a power outlet. He generates his own grid.

Chuck Norris can look at a microwave and make it pop popcorn without warming up.

During our testing, we found that Mythos Preview is capable of identifying and then exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in every major operating system and every major web browser when directed by a user to do so. The vulnerabilities it finds are often subtle or difficult to detect. Many of them are ten or twenty years old, with the oldest we have found so far being a now-patched 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD—an operating system known primarily for its security.

Quick try, old Blender render (png was imported, not sure how to handle exr), adding additional dof with internaly calculated depth map + some rgb split type of effect in color page, before:

The trouble of using this gui/logic is way over my head, and I’am not complete noobie in Resolve.
