**I’ve always been a firm believer in efficiency in whatever it is you do. It doesn’t matter to me if I’ll only do the task two or three times, if putting a bit more effort in the first time will save me time and energy later, I’ll do it. Efficiency can also mean knowing whether or not optimization is useful (sometimes optimizing a task takes longer than doing the task normally a hundred times in a row). As such, I wanted to take this month to talk about a few time-saving tips I find useful. Hopefully you will too!** | **I’ve always been a firm believer in efficiency in whatever it is you do.

**In university I started using LaTeX for a lot of things (including writing a nearly word-for-word transcript in Linear Algebra). Here I would actually go back and reformat things. I even shared the project on GitHub amongst my classmates so we could crowdsource corrections and additions. My problem? I was fast enough to keep up with my professor, but the actual syntax was sometimes awkward to type and I’d have to spend time fixing typos in the syntax before I could actually view the PDF. | **In university I started using LaTeX for a lot of things (including writing a nearly word-for-word transcript in Linear Algebra).

Once I started dealing with static site generators, and web development in general, I discovered things like Markdown and reStructuredText that I could use to generate PDFs or HTML quickly and easily. These soon became my go-to formatting languages for writing notes or documentation. I’ve even included some tips for quickly generating PDF from markdown in C&C in the past. Very recently, however, I’ve also heard a lot about Eleventy (a static site generator), and I’ve now started to mix the two (Markdown and Eleventy) to create an automatically refreshing HTML documentation I can style before or after (using HTML and CSS).** | Once I started dealing with static site generators, and web development in general, I discovered things like Markdown and reStructuredText that I could use to generate PDFs or HTML quickly and easily.

Naturally, this doesn’t work for every possible file, but it has been useful in about 80% of the cases where I would otherwise have to interrupt everything and return physically to my computer. It also doesn’t work completely remotely without more configuration (port forwarding, dynamic DNS, etc), and is also a question of security.** | Naturally, this doesn’t work for every possible file, but it has been useful in about 80% of the cases where I would otherwise have to interrupt everything and return physically to my computer.

Tying in to my note-taking point above - I have a lot of notes on things for our internal network (such as notes on common phone issues, or configuration settings for the NAS backup). I could run them off a Raspberry Pi or my NUC all the time, sure, but not everyone has access to a computer that’s on 24/7. What everyone should do is backup their data frequently - and a NAS makes that quite simple. So if you already have a NAS lying about for backing up data, most NAS software will offer you the ability to throw up a basic HTTP server. Combine that with something like Eleventy and Git, and you can have an always available home wiki that you can access from any device in the house. This sort of documentation has saved me a lot of looking and repeat googling for some common issues around the house.** | Tying in to my note-taking point above - I have a lot of notes on things for our internal network (such as notes on common phone issues, or configuration settings for the NAS backup).

Now, I’m not going to be a mechanical keyboard snob and say everyone should get themselves an ergonomic mechanical keyboard. I will, however, say that everyone should have a keyboard they find comfortable. It doesn’t matter if it’s a cheap no frills membrane keyboard, or some fancy gaming keyboard with RGB everywhere. If it’s a keyboard that’s uncomfortable for you in your setup (perhaps it’s too small, or sits at an awkward angle from your mouse, etc), then you’re doing yourself a disservice. It will slow down your typing, frustrate you, and may even cause health issues down the line. It’s well worth it to take some time to check out a few different keyboards or give some thought on what it is you need from your keyboard before purchasing.** | Now, I’m not going to be a mechanical keyboard snob and say everyone should get themselves an ergonomic mechanical keyboard.

- | **Do you need a numpad? If not, you can probably reduce elbow movement towards your mouse by having a keyboard without one so it sits closer to the mouse. Do you use the function keys a lot? Try to find a keyboard with a smaller gap between the number row and the function keys (or a keyboard with an fn button that turns the number keys into function buttons). Perhaps you tend to move your keyboard around a lot as you shift at your desk - instead of fighting with a cable, you may want to find a bluetooth keyboard. | + | Enfin, votre clavier... |

You can do something similar with your mouse too - if you don’t like to move the mouse all the time, you can learn keyboard shortcuts or buy a trackball to reduce the movement. Perhaps you have only a touchpad on your laptop - investing in even a cheap mouse might help make you more comfortable.** | You can do something similar with your mouse too - if you don’t like to move the mouse all the time, you can learn keyboard shortcuts or buy a trackball to reduce the movement.
