still learning obsidian but it's all worth it. this one's my "nerdy" vault... currently, i'm using "prism" as my theme and "lora" as my main font. below are some community plugins and in-app stuff that i've found useful so far while working with obsidian:

obsidian webclipper (official browser extension)

toggle live preview/source mode (hotkey config)

obsidian bases

auto card link

book search

fast text color

highlightr

iconize

omnisearch

smart typography

style settings

tagfolder

thumbnails

obsidian allows you to do a lot of other things even without depending on community plugins, which is a big plus if you want to be completely offline. most of the plugins that i'm currently using also work offline too.

some goals of mine

i just wanted to share these few things from my longer list. it helps me feel more grounded than simply writing them down on paper, at least to a certain extent.

move to a better place with more nature and sun!! right now i live somewhere that doesn't let any sunlight into my room... (this one will take a long time, i know.)

better health condition.

read books consistently again.

contribute more volunteer work online.

continue consistent studying.

land on a part-time job.

be more financially secured.

collect more primary ids.

successfully get clients on freelance work ive been pushing on for months...

continue donating to reputable charities and fundraising once earned enough to give again.

learn to be kinder to myself.

so i finally figured out this account's password, lol.

just a passionate learner obsessed with gamedev, writing, and design. building cool stuff and figuring it out as i go. welcome to my corner

as a quick update, i'm going to change the name of this blog and side blogs on tumblr to "curiousbeagle" to match the name of my new blogspot account. (rip normalfroggo 2024-2026)

Hi~

thank you for checking out my profile! (^u^)/

✧ i'm clover! i am a 20↑ ordinary person who is currently trying to relearn a bunch of things, especially about art and tech, while taking care of my health because i've neglected myself for too long now...

✧ although there are many obstacles ahead of me that i will have to go through again, i made this to keep track of my learning quests and to look back once i reach my milestones. also, to hold myself more accountable and stay consistent with these goals of mine.

✧ i am trying to see if i can pursue another profession (which i haven't yet decided think i have decided now) outside my current profession, focusing on using my tech experience in other areas, like developing community apps, games, etc. despite this, i won't be posting too much personal information here and will focus on sharing the knowledge, experiences, and growth that i gain. (maybe a little of fixation dumps too...) you may also read my stuff on curiousbeagle.blogspot.com for exclusive updates and longer entries! =D

✧ i use this app because i often find helpful profiles and resources here that are useful for my learning jaunts. treat this as a place where i check in on my progress, share things i've just learned, and provide self-updates. i may also occasionally reblog stuff that i find useful for myself and others too!

✧ i also created a side blog account, @normalfroggodiary , which i will use as a digital learning progress diary, possibly on a daily/weekly basis, for additional accountability.

be well~

just a short update: it’s been almost a month, but i’m recharging and getting ready to start from scratch. i’ve been physically (and mentally?) unwell for a couple of weeks, but i don’t want to just rot away while recovering. i’ve neglected so many passion projects and studies, and i want to find time for them as i continue healing.

also, i’m really bad at posting updates on my accounts, but i’ll try my best.

current software obsessions 🖱️

joplin - although i use the paid version of upnote on my overall notes, joplin remains very useful for my study notes. i used it with evernote back in college, but i forgot about it since i hardly took computer notes in my previous corp job. now, i think it's more convenient and hassle free than obsidian, at least for my workflow. i don't like too much stuff on my note taking app...

sublime - i started relearning web code a few weeks ago, and i learned to love the gruvbox theme and pixel fonts like the ones they use on ds games. with the said theme, i feel like i'm writing on a legal pad, which i have loved writing on.

readest - i discovered this a few days ago after using foliate on my thinkpad with linux. i was searching so hard for someone who made it for win11 since that's what i use atm on my main device, and there i found it. an ereader app rewritten from foliate made to work on win11, and ios too. and they also have custom themes with gruvbox! i had to stop using thorium since i started using this.

07.07.2025 ✦ nothing much to share but rather just the same work on my personal tiny web project that i mentioned yesterday + new web page i did on my main tumblr acc @curiousbeagle that you can only access here. just a place for resources, info dumps, and updates from my silly little webcoding journey (again) without cluttering the main page of this account. ✦ i'll continue studying c# and godot once i've gotten more rest. i can only do so much while recovering…

[curiousbeaglediary]

07.06.2025 ✦ short update: i just started relearning css and html and made some webpages for my personal projects, which i can't share here, hence the short update. i'm still at a novice pace, but i really enjoyed making old-school style webpages like i used to back when i was still in high school. i'll try to make another side project that i can share here to show the progress of my learning soon.

✦ i’d love to make a simple puzzle visual novel again using the web.

06.13.2025 ✦ semi-low energy today. done w/ the first coding part of the game. i might proceed with the enemy part after my break later. ✦ i might also get back on codewars later too.

[curiousbeaglediary]

06.10.2025 ✦ it's been a while. i haven't been able to do much over the past few months due to some underlying personal errands and issues. but now, i'm slowly trying to make time for my learning journey in various stuff. ✦ with my limited time over the past few months, i started doing codewars with my rusty old brain. currently on 7th kyu. ✦ i also started working on a basic 2d game today, using godot's documentation as my first hands-on experience with the engine. i'm planning to use ithya and lofi sessions as my virtual study and co-work buddy, plus music.

11.03.2024 ┆ entry pt.1 ✦ study session #1 ⋮ quick refresh on c# so i started relearning the basics on codecademy. installed vscode and vs on my new laptop. i will continue the simple console project and the rest of the study sessions later today. ✦ doing everything from scratch so that i won’t get lost when i start learning unreal engine. i basically forgot everything anyway lol.
