Her time at the hospital is nigh
The good news—Bunny will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. The neutral news—she's going to a rehabilitation center near to Chez Boca. The bad—it was a rough day with the physical therapist. Oh was it a rough day.

Taming Emacs Cache and Temporary Files
You open your favorite editor, and, out of the box, Emacs writes state files all over the place. It puts `bookmarks` in `~/.emacs.d/`, drops `#auto-saves#` next to every file you edit, leaves `.~lockfiles~` in your projects, scribbles `recentf`, `history`, `saveplace`, `projects`, `transient/history.el`, `tramp`, `network-security.data`, `multisession/`, `url/`, `image-dired/`, `erc/`, `rcirc/`... you get the picture. The features are great, don't get me wrong. The default locations are what annoy me.

* Gemini (Primer) links can be opened using Gemini software. It's like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter.
