Fencing work commenced
Fencing work commenced with Mohan working with Guna and Ezhumalai, who earlier helped in moving the pipes.
Completed 200m at EOD. Delay was due to stick cutting.
Rainfall status
Yesterday night there was mild rainfall and 17-2 planting is safe as of now. Heavy flood in the stream usually overflows on 17-2.
Since bunds were not formed due to rain and my decision, water from heavy rains will go waste.
Casuarina Final payment
Spoke to Aruvapakkam nursery Kannan and confirmed that final payment is ₹59,750. He will send a sapling owner’s gpay ID later, so I send above amount to him.
He did not pay anything extra as transport to Jagannathan. They were OK and happy about the way they were treated here.
Kannan on fence work
Kannan also suggested 2 person can easily finish 300m in one day. He even suggests 2 can do this.
He’ll also pay a visit and give his feedback to Mohan on the work. Nylon wire must run at the bottom continuously to prevent goats.
List of saplings
Requested kannan for list of saplings and cost from his nursery source.
Pipeline updates
Spoke to prasanth about laying pipeline in January. He suggested doing it early, as soil will be easy to work.

Casuarina contract planting
Mama also mentioned about contract casuarina planting by parties from mandagapet who will form manual bunds suitable for flood irrigation at around ₹4*** per acre along with planting. I’m curious as to why omandur Subramani did not mention about this mandagapet parties.

WiFi calling Note 6 Pro
Follow the instructions below to activate
Step 1 If WiFi calling is not enabled or does not show then type ( * # * # 869 434 # * # *) in dialer You will see vowifi carrier check disabled, this means your phone supports it, if you don’t see this, older Redmi phones such as Redmi 4 etc don’t have Vo-Wifi
Step 2 Switch off WiFi and ensure data is connected Open a random webpage This is so that your phone is imprinted on the network
Step 3 Go into airplane Turn on WiFi It should work now
If it doesn’t work, then go to the dialer and type ( * # * # 4636 # * # *) in the dialer Here go to phone information, scroll down and there you will see what is enabled and what isn’t The switch for ‘Mobile Phone Power’ or something something power as it may differ phone to phone. It should be the first switch
Turn it On. Go back and back and now WiFi Calling will work.
NOTE This switch is notorious for turning off by itself. So if WiFi calling doesn’t work by default, check in the phone services
In my case I have to do Step 2, 3 & enable mobile power every time I want Vo-Wifi. It’s ok, it’s worthwhile to be on WiFi Calling.

Testing the context
Added the code :Context: %a\n%? based on https://honnef.co/articles/my-org-roam-workflows-for-taking-notes-and-writing-articles/↗ to ensure that after capturing the fleeting note, control goes back to the orginal place.
daily capture seems to work well
daily capture seems to work well as any time i press C-c c, immediately the capture window appears and on saving or killing, the control goes back to earlier buffer.
- Need to clean up journal history before this template was introduced.
Test message to see how daily_journal changes
Test message to see how daily_journal changes when the option for datatree changed from week to month.
- another test with datatree as day
checking timestamp
Just tested C-c . command to insert timestamp

use-package features
https://systemcrafters.net/live-streams/september-24-2021/↗ features that use-package provides:
:ensure - Install package :after - Load after another package :init - Run code before package loads :config - Run code after package loads :custom - Set custom variables with concise syntax :defer - Defer loading until some later point :demand - Ensure loading at startup :bind - Bind keys for modes :hook - Set hooks that will cause package to load :commands - Set autoloaded commands that will cause packag to load :mode - Activate mode when particular file types are opened
Difference in commands?
Seems like C-c c works on starting emacs i.e from scratch buffer. however C-c n f does not work there.
- Test for changing format of datetree from day to date
Test code
seems like chaning to date does not make any difference.

Seems like there was very heavy rain on 2023-05-03 night. Today Omandur Subramani and Kovadi Mohan called and informed about the heavy rains. Uncle informed that heavy rain started at 10pm itself. The previous night it drizzled for the entire night. Mohan confirmed that the Omandur canal is running to the brim and the openwell has risen dramatically. Seems like we can survive this summer.

Moved navigation menu from sidebar to top
Spent multiple hours on getting the navigation menu bar from left sidebar to top. The move was simpler. However, getting the geometry correct took much longer. My knowledge is still not good enough to do these things without help of claude/gemini.
