My current notetaking system

Published on 20 May 2021 by Stef Pletinck

I take a lot of notes. A lot of notes. Some of these notes are temporary, to be written down and never seen again. Some of these notes are absolutely vital, notes I never want to lose. Some notes are nice to have. There is no one system that fits all of the above.

Start of research: Introduction to OpenWiFi

Published on 30 Aug 2020 by Stef Pletinck

OpenWiFi is an FPGA1 and SDR2 implementation of the IEEE 802.11 a/g/n standard (WiFi, for us common folk).

This series of blog posts will document my experiences learning and researching.

For the longest time, the in-house invoicing and CRM package where I work used Select2 for all search boxes. The main “customer search” box had some extra code tacked on that would load the customer’s profile when you selected a customer in Select2. This worked, but had a number of issues:
