...so I watched that race. This was the era of Prost, Mansell and Lauda, and the new boy was Senna. Some big names there. But the nostagia for me was Murray Walker commentating. He was a big part of why I started watching. At one point in the race the rain got into his TV monitors, and he could only see the pit straight outside the commentary box. But he still had plenty to say, and still made it exciting. He was a huge enthusiast, and conveyed that to the audience.
Transplanted a large hosta, filled a delineated-but-without-stone area out front with mulch, swept a bunch of maple seeds from lawn-chair-inhabited spaces, watered a bunch of stuff, put tools away, and awaiting one end of the backyard becoming sufficiently soaked that I can move the sprinkler and hop in the shower.
i decided to switch up my route. since my goal is to run a 5k in under 30 minutes by the end of the month, i planned a 5k route through the nearby park. with every run from this point forward, my goal is to run as long as possible. today's goal was to hit the 3k mark at least. everything else would be a cherry on top. however, there's good and bad news about today's run.
I don't know much about telephony, but I've seen caller ID explained like this. If you make a call from a telephone (mobile or fixed) then the phone company knows the number you are calling from and can send it to the person you're calling. If your call passes between phone companies, they don't validate the caller ID because they trust each other. But phone calls can also originate from the internet, and when such a call crosses into the plain old telephone system, there's the same lack of validation. So you can claim to be calling from any number you like.
I began using vimwiki in fall 2018, inspired by a number of wikis I'd experienced over the years, but not by the 'digital gardens' movement so much as the morphing website-portfolio-artist-site-as-wiki by artist Auriea Harvey. Each time I visited it sprouted new pages or took on different forms and page flows. Directories, stubs, image galleries, linkpages: like a 90s web wonderland. In the last few years as she's been more widely exhibited her site has become more less and less the wild wiki of yore. Might need to revisit it with the Internet Archive's wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20190327062229/http://auriea.org/Auriea
So here I am on an airplane flying from Istanbul to Los Angeles. I thought it would be fun to take the opportunity to post on Gemini while I'm thousands of feet in the air. Bubble is the most convenient way to do so on my phone, although I could get out my laptop I can't be bothered.
The flight came with some form of free WiFi, which is a shock to me because last year they wanted to charge an arm and a leg for it. The terms of service seem to have gotten a lot better, with lower cost packages back down to what I remember them being 10 years ago, and a longer duration of use, I think. (The flight is 12 hours and I have 24 hours of service.)
Gogios is a minimalistic and easy-to-use monitoring tool I programmed in Google Go designed specifically for small-scale self-hosted servers and virtual machines. The primary purpose of Gogios is to monitor my personal server infrastructure for `foo.zone`, my MTAs, my authoritative DNS servers, my NextCloud, Wallabag and Anki sync server installations, etc.
With compatibility with the Nagios Check API, Gogios offers a simple yet effective solution for users looking to monitor a limited number of resources. In theory, Gogios scales to a couple of thousand checks, though. In this blog post, we'll explore Gogios' features, configuration, and use cases to help you determine if it's the proper monitoring solution for your needs, too.

Gogios is a lightweight and straightforward monitoring tool that is perfect for small-scale environments. With its compatibility with the Nagios Check API, email notifications, and CRON-based scheduling, Gogios offers an easy-to-use solution for those looking to monitor a limited number of resources. I personally use it to execute around 500 checks on my personal server infrastructure. I am very happy with this solution.
An orbital simulator can be put to productive(?) use in the production of music. Perhaps the tau (or (* 2 pi))ââ¬Â has been divided into some number of sectors around something being orbited, maybe 0 to 15 degrees maps to 0, 16 to 30 maps to 1, etc., depending on where the satellite is. depending on where the satellite is. The mapped numbers can then be used to index into a scale, which means you'll need the intervals of the scale--say, pentatonic minor--and a bit of code to get a MIDI pitch number from the mapped orbit numbers. And some bounds checking, because write-it-in-a-hurry art code never has bugs, and ambitus is a thing.
* Gemini (Primer) links can be opened using Gemini software. It's like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter.
