It has been too long!

The days are long, the nights are short, here is a long list of links… Stealing from the Best Emacs Configs | Emacs Redux There is a lot I recognise in here: Ok, what ACTUALLY uses Rust?

Three years of posting random links to Techjournal today.

Mixed bag.

I finally got spooked by systemd and upgraded my Debian Trixie desktop to Devuan.

Is this is the first of the new year!?

I started writing eden—a CLI tool for logging and basic journaling—three years ago, when Go was at 1.17.

Is it time to get off X?

Dance is a lesser art-form because it depends upon and is derivative of a higher and more sophisticated art-form: music.

Once again, it has been a long time since we posted anything.

It has been a long time.

Dealing with a ruptured achilles tendon right now.

Another summer update.

Quick updates this month to tidy things up a bit.

Fonts, OpenBSD, networking, AI, Obsidian, Emacs, note-taking, uv, org-mode - it’s all there, baby.

A fair mishmash of links this period.

A regulation smorgasboard of links and wisdom this period.

It’s been a while, but here we are - a new batch!

Storm Eowyn came and went yesterday.

Watching Edinburgh v Black Lion in the Challenge Cup. 24-3 to Edinburgh after 32 minutes.

First post to its new home - here are this period’s notes.

According to AI, these are the subject discussed in this Quicknote: Programming & Development: Discussions on programming languages like Perl, Ruby, Go, and Haskell.

The usual befuddlement of topics in this tranche, ending up with another period of interest in the verneral secure operating system, Decent article about BSD: I did not know this: I Solve Problems - IT Notes That Old NetBSD Server, Running Since 2010 - IT…

This is a decent recipe if you like a rustic, hipster loaf like I do.

Usual fare this period.

Have been fascinated by a lot of AI tools lately and have been keeping up with some of the hype on X.

Mix bag again this session.

Today’s update takes me back over the last few weeks to a recent soiree with our old friend Emacs and lisp.

Lots of interesting stuff this post - I can’t even be bothered to summarise it.

I fucking hate Kubernetes and fucking hate OpenShift and am starting to really fucking hate Docker.

A quickish turnaround this time because I want to see if the script I have written in Perl to post the page to the blog works properly, plus I’ve actually been quicknoting quite a lot of the last week or so.

I use quicknote, written in Go, to add the links to an intermediate page, and then the following Perl to push it to the server.

“If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do.

Django and boostrap are back on the menu this period, after quite a long period out.

I gave in and created a now page.

It’s been a while and lots collected during this period.

I am trying OpenBSD again.

It’s been a while since the last quicknotes post so there is a lot in today’s edition.

That’s the Six Nations over with then.

Full of the usual trepidation about tomorrow’s game between 🏴Scotland and Ireland 🇮🇪.

Actually put out a blog post: I’m a below average intelligence programmer.

I have just read I’m a programmer and I’m stupid and have been inspired to say the same thing.

What a day yesterday!

Monster day of rugby today - Scotland v England at Murrayfield, and I will be in attendance.

Went swimming this morning with Harvey.

A biography of a poet whose poetry can be so difficult that Frank Skinner seems yet to know how best to cover him in his poetry podcast (February 2024).

This guy sets up taskwarrior and taskserver to use Lets Encrypt instead of the default bobbins that taskwarrior requires: Task management | Colin Watson's blog I am starting to dislike the hype around HTMX.

Can the mighty Scots beat the wounded French, today?

Sourcehut is now gone.

In the process of moving out of Sourcehut.
