2020-09-29 Add step to my finances playbookWilliam Carroll1-0/+1
This is a helpful reminder to ensure that the exchange rate is always fresh. Ideally I could use Google Sheets formulae to take a snapshot of the GBP:USD exchange rate *at a point in time*, but I haven't set that up yet. Maybe it'd look something like: ```pseudocode =GOOGLEFINANCE("GBP:USD", "September 1, 2020") ``` I'll have to look into this.
2020-08-20 Drop support for dir-locals.nix, <nixpkgs>, etc.William Carroll1-5/+1
In the spirit of Marie Kondo, I'm tidying up! TL;DR: - Prefer .envrc `use_nix` and delete all dir-locals.nix files - Remove ~all references to <nixpkgs>, <unstable>, <depot> and prefer referencing each with briefcase.third_party.{pkgs,unstable,depot} - Delete nixBufferFromShell function since I was only using that in dir-locals.nix files

Write a playbook for using SQLite to capture some trivia that I often forget in between my ~infrequent uses of SQLite.

2020-07-24 Add two steps to finances playbookWilliam Carroll1-0/+2
I needed to add the first step since I dipped into my Emergency fund last month to pay for someone to prepare my US tax return. I added the other step as a reminder.

I'm particularly excited about this idea. As I was reading Graham's "Erase your darlings" blog post, I had an idea: I should have playbooks at the root of my monorepo. I can have playbooks for the following: - How to install NixOS - How to build GCR images from Nix expressions - A collection of miscellaneous shell commands (e.g. "how to kill a process by name") - What series of steps should I follow when I receive a paycheck I already keep README's at the root of each package, which I think is where many of these instructions belong. Other tutorials that I write for myself that do not belong to any package can go in //playbooks. I also will host my personal habits in //playbooks since habits are a bit like playbooks for life. Let's see how this idea ages as the caffeine wears off...
