  • Gardening Update #1

    It's from Geoff Lawton (or so Kelbot claims, I haven't checked), and it rings true. While I didn't know the quote then, it is that thought that motivated us to finally start growing our own food. It's been almost two months now, so I'd thought to write down how it's going so far, if only for my own reference.

    At the start of March, when temperatures were still firmly below freezing point, the first seeds went into small greenhouses that fitted in the windowsill. Pak choi, red cabbage, pointed cabbage, peppers and strawberries. Several days went by but imagine the joy when the first little shoots peeked out from the dirt. The strawberries took longest to germinate, about two weeks.

    Spring break is over and now I will continue this work. My next break will be at summer unless, I do summer school. Let’s hope that this never happens.

  • not a garden blog 2: Legion of Doom

    What's the name for that thing where a colonial power invades by settling its own people in someone else's territory, heedless of treaties, boundaries, or whether someone else actually lives there? You know, the thing Europeans did to the Native Americans or Israel is doing to Palestine?

  • openBSD day 1

    Allright the install went well. Then rebooting was good enough. I didn't want X to star by default, as I like to stay in the console at first and then startx only if needed.

    A strange thing happened in X, the brightness of the screen dimmed when it started. So I tried xbacklight -set 100 which didn't work.

    I had to install intel_backlight from some random github place, which still didn't work.
