The Chalkboard

Robert Hawdon's Knowledge Base

Home | Catalogue | Robert's Blog

This site is dedicated to publishing notes on things I either find useful, interesting, or just down right awesome. Pages and notes published here are things that I would probably not blog about, and have generally been written for my own reference. However, as I believe knowledge should be shared, I am making them open and free to use.

The general idea is that things can be rapidly added and/or changed with minimal effort. I will be making a blog post about it soon.

These notes have been written in Org Mode using the org-roam plugin, and published using Pandoc.

This site is still a work in progress (I suppose it always will be in a way), expect some things to be broken whilest I still iron out the kinks.
