April 16th 2026 - Things I Worked On
Removed Company suggestions when in normal mode
There was a bug caused by the package upgrades which caused suggestions to stick around when going from insert mode to normal mode and made it almost impossible to navigate away.
Here's my fix:

Magit
I tried installing and checking out Magit, which a very nice piece of software, but I realized I currently have no use for it. My git usage is limited to just a few commands and I'm quite used to calling them from the command line.
Moved my config files to my own personal repo
I deleted my old config repo from github and moved it to my own personal server. This was done for security and privacy reasons. I don't to push new changes in my config file and have to worry about leaking PII or private information.
Backing up the journal
My most used file is my journal.org where I keep track things I find interesting, problems I've solved, and ideas I have. I added a way to backup my journal onto my personal server in case anything happens to my laptop. I have years of notes in this file that I don't want to lose.
Fixing org-roam-ui unclickable nodes
org-roam-ui provides a gorgeous UI for viewing, reading, and navigating nodes and their connections. For a long time I was unable to click on nodes in the web UI and just assumed it was a bug in the package.
But I did a little more digging around and it turns out Brave Browser shields block this interaction. I disabled them and it fixed the issue right away. Now, I can get back to the slow process of connecting disconnected nodes.
