brnrr·5 lat temu·discussI used to mess around with a flat-bed scanner (autofeed would be easier) but my current system is simple but quick.I use my Canon camera: Click click, flip page, repeat. Copy to laptop, batch resize & rename, drag into a folder.No OCR, but it wouldn't pick up my shorthand anyway :)
brnrr·5 lat temu·discussHere's an interesting date format most of HN probably haven't heard of; military date-time-groups[1]. 270009LFEB21 Translation: The 27th, 00:09, "L" timezone (+11, NATO timezone[2]), February, 2021.Advantages:- it's much more compact than ISO8601.- the most significant information is first; the date.- the second-most significant information is second; the time.- the timezone is a single alphanumeric character.- when military paperwork has a box at the top that says "DTG", everyone knows the format.- I'm pretty sure it's a standard across all NATO militaries.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date-time_group#Military_Date_...[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_time_zones
