I haven’t used Doom Emacs in a while. Thought I’d give it a spin. Besides, I still miss my vim bindings from back in the day. Evil mode to the rescue.

Tired of the internet.

Mulling over what to do about these daily notes posts. Hugo RSS feeds.

In How about some blogging stability for 2026? I wrote that I resolved to not change blogging platforms more than once a quarter. This would be an easy goal for most people. For me, though, it’s a bit of a challenge.

I’m typing this in NeoVim on the Framework running Fedora/Gnome. Earlier today, I fired up the Mac Mini and thought, “Man, this is how I want to do computing.” This, in direct opposition to how I’ve felt about it for the past few months. As part of the new year, I’d “decided” that I was putting the Linux experiment on hold indefinitely. I’d fired up Tinderbox for blogging at daily.baty.net as part of my new move back to macOS.

If I would just put Journal entries here, I could have One True Blog™.

Over at Irreal, Blogging Platforms: For me, blogging is all about writing and sharing my discoveries. The last thing I want is to worry about is my blogging platform. I want it to be as transparent as possible so I don’t have to think about it. I just want to write my post in Org mode and push a button to publish it.

How about this for a resolution… Don’t change blogging platforms more than once a quarter.

Sooo, I thought I wanted a new theme but that didn’t work out, so I changed my mind and decided to go back to my old PaperMod theme. Trouble is, that theme was made for Hugo1, so I also had to move things back to Hugo. Had to! 😀

Update: I went with something else :) Then again, maybe I want the previous theme instead

My daughter has been sending me adorable AI-generated images of her and my grandson in various Christmas get-ups. They’re so fun and cute and she’s having a blast.

My first serious foray into Linux was driven by how deeply I fell immediately in love with Omarchy. Omarchy made me realize that I could totally live in Linux. If I wanted to.
