I went to post something just now, but stopped to make a teeny tweak the Hugo frontmatter. Now I don’t remember what I was coming here to write. Good morning, I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯. On the plus side, I woke up feeling actually relieved that the blog is on Hugo. Can’t explain it, but it seems like a good thing.


Neither my wife nor I have been to Europe, so I’m planning a trip there for later this fall. I don’t even know which country we should start at. I’m thinking Italy.

Wouldn’t it be great if all I needed was Emacs, a browser, a terminal, and Finder? Why then do I end up with this? And it’s only 6:00 a.m.

Mostly just personal journaling today. Roger Waters t-shirt. Credit reporting. Ella’s move

Saturday, August 17, 2024

Busy day today. We’re moving Ella into her new apartment. I’ve been taking it easy since hurting my back last week, so I feel like I’m good enough to be useful.


The best thing about being busy is that it prevents me from second guessing my move to Hugo for the blog. I love that I’m here in Emacs typing this post, but the threat of some update breaking things, or that I break things, looms. And It’s mostly stock PaperMod theme, so this is just another boring blog that looks like a lot of other boring blogs. It’s fine for now.

Fortunately, my old lisp functions still worked, so creating this daily post for Hugo was just a matter of M-x jab/hugo-new-daily and here I am.

You’ll have noticed (if you’re not viewing via RSS at least) that I moved the blog back to Hugo. This was unexpected, since I swore off Hugo months ago :). Anyway, I have started migrating the last six months of content over from Kirby. It’s slow going, so there’ll be some 404s for a bit.

I’m on assignment

I’m on assignment

I swear some days I want to single-handedly bring back single-use devices.

Remember when I used wttr to show the weather like this?

   _`/"".-.     Light snow

Historically, the day after getting a COVID booster, I would feel pretty crappy. So far this morning I’m only suffering from a sore arm. This one was from Pfizer rather than Moderna, so we’ll see.
