  • Changing

    This is bound to be a long post, and all over the place. My tablet is about to die. I don't really want to go buy yet another one, I am starting to hate the idea of consuming more handhelds because the programmed obsolescence reaches it's time. I already have a chromebook (not something I am particularly proud of, if I buy anything I hope I can still find that cheap lenovo netbook), which I can continue to use to do everything that I already do on my tablet.... well almost everything. In fact, I didn't use the tablet for anything but reading at all. Of course, reading accounts for 95% of my computer use. On the other hand, though, I was starting to get tired of so much reading too! And it was starting to prove ineffective for me to read so much and put nothing to practice. In fact, I had already spent a lot of energy reading about computer stuff, without ever doing anything with computers anymore, to the point that I had already abandoned every reading related to computers and programming, and I was looking in other, more naturalistic, directions. But even then, I thought it quite silly that I would be at the mercy of a piece of silicon for learning about the real world.

  • I don't organize my emacs config file

    I've gone through phases of .emacs.d organization... for a long time, I had an org-mode literate config file with extensive documentation. Eventually I realized that I wasn't doing anything at all with the prose in the org-mode file that I couldn't literally dump into a code comment, but I had to type much more characters each time I wanted to add to it, so I tangled the file and dumped it.

    • Discordia Strix document published

      Thought I'd ring in the return of my capsule by posting a document detailing my new and evolved spiritual philosophy. It has gotten much weirder!

    • I Broke Antenna But It's Fixed Now

      I'm so sorry, everyone. I messed up a merge and pull and apparently a PR that broke atom.xml ingestion ended up on main and in the production Antenna installation. The merge happened on May 20th, but I honestly don't recall exactly when I pulled it into production.

    • WIPO, WIPO, what is heaven like?

      On the other side of the multiverse, over in the timeline where sharing is caring and where the downhill battle against the copyright trolls was won and where there’s an efficient peer-to-peer system for songs and videos, every now and then they take a look over at our dimension and they glance a li’l incredulously at what the heck we’re doing with our huge fossil-burning wasteful data centers to manage streaming and distribution and then other huge wasteful data centers make sure to keep it that way, to tear down anyone who’d dare to help distribute it.
