    Of *course* the internet is at odds with peace, because searching always is, and the main thing to do online is search.

  • Back

    I'm back!
    But where was I?
    
    
    Something was going on. 
    I lost track of time, 
    of myself. 
    
    
    The house 
    was getting dirtier
    cold and uncomfortable.
    
    
    I can also see the break
    in my time tracking notes,
    almost nothing was written.
    

  • Hermaic Encouragement

    There's a reason why grief and sorrow is the tormentor of the sphere of Mercury from book XIII of the Corpus Hermeticum: it makes us fearful of what may come, and the lack of what we feel broken without causes us to beg, borrow, and steal what is not rightly ours to have—or otherwise, we wouldn't have lacked it at all. Grief and sorrow stifles curiosity and wonder, and it's this that best spurs us along our Way. Daring and courage is nice, but it's the fundamental need to Know that underlies even that. But there's a proper way to go about it, too, and fearfully cheating the system isn't it.

    The show must go on, and there are such sights for us to see, such wonders for us to witness. Do not let self-sorrow or fearful grief machinating wickedness chain you to a place that has no place for you. The Work beckons, and the Work is the Way. Go on your Way, come what may.

  • What a nightmare

    I really hoped that I wouldn't have to extend the link list on Trump I started back in 2016 because I didn't understand how he could win.

  • A few ideas for a next twtxt version

    I’ve always appreciated the unique, "hacky" aspects of twtxt. Despite a few inconveniences compared to other micro-blogging proposals, its philosophy has always appealed to me.

    twtxt 1.0 is a proposal from 2016 that grew with many community suggested fixes, and has many retro-compatible patches, like the extensions. What I’d call ‘twtxt 1.1’.

    Recently I've been loosely following the efforts toward a "twtxt 2.0." From what I’ve seen, these updates are good proposals, although there’s the dilemma of breaking compatibility with that twtxt 1.1.
