My eyes were bored so I changed themes again. Back to PaperMod for now.

I’d like to not create these daily journal posts, and instead create several individial posts. The problem is that so much of what I write here in journal posts is not Postworthy. So, I’ll keep doing this, I guess.
A week ago, I toyed with the idea of using Gnus for reading Email in Emacs. As expected, I hated it at first. But then… ...
Hang on a sec… digg reboot I’m here for this!
I went down a rabbit hole with the built-in Remember mode in Emacs today. ...
lmq-10/denote-search This package provides a search utility for Denote, the simple-to-use, focused-in-scope, and effective note-taking tool for Emacs. The command denote-search is the main point of entry. It accepts a query, which should be a regular expression, and then searches the contents of all the notes stored in denote-directory for it. The results are put in a buffer which allows folding and further filtering; all standard commands offered by Xref are available as well. ...
Avatarium is new to me. I love her soulful (clean) vocals and the doom/sludgy sound. It’s like Joni Mitchell and Black Sabbath teamed up. Too many journals. Not enough to say.
We look good together, no? When I bought the Nikon Z f recently, the way I intended to offset the cost was to sell the Leica SL2. The mistake I made was to buy the Nikon before selling the Leica. Yesterday, I gathered up the SL2 with accessories and took some photos of it for the listing. Picking up the camera reminded me that, as nice as the Z f is, it’s not in the same league as the SL2. Everything about the Leica feels nicer. Controls, covering, grip, doors, battery, all of it. ...
I would love to be a person who goes out to photograph because I have something to say, rather than someone looking for an excuse to play with cameras and because I’m bored. I find YouTube to be 95% useless, but the other 5% is helpful and can be absolutely amazing and wonderful. If I cancel my subscriptions to every newspaper that publishes something stupid, I’ll have nowhere left to get any news. Mastodon, you say? Hardly. ...
Hey everyone, a little more empathy, please. Thanks.
New t-shirt is funny. I’ve been shopping for desktop computers to run Linux. Something easy and nice, like a low-mid range Thelios, maybe. This is a terrible idea and I should stop doing it at once. When do you think I’ll finally find something that I’m good at? There are too many people in my head. I like Matt Birchler’s Quick Reviews app, but I wish it would look up the year/director for me. The new iOS app might do something like that, but I won’t use the app on iOS. ...
Well, I’m in that place again. You know the one. The one where I write the same thing in more than one, and sometimes more than two, places because I can’t decide where stuff goes. I’ve backed up and made all of my Kindle books readable on any device. I also just borrowed a book from the library, directly from my Kobo. This feels very good.
I’d like to get kaorahi (Howm) and Prot (Denote) together and maybe lock them in a room for a few hours. At the end, there would either be plans for building the greatest Emacs package ever…or fisticuffs.
What’s New in Emacs 30.1? - Mastering Emacs Full support for Emacs on Android, and a whole host of touch screen-related improvements to Emacs as a result. Sooo, do I need an Android phone, now? Most of today was spent farting around in Emacs. Again. I don’t mind. It was fun. I tweaked Howm. Played with Gnus. Upgraded to Emacs 30.1, and cleaned up some config. A good time was had by all. ...
My use of Howm has continued to grow organically. In other words, I don’t set out to use Howm, it just happens :). One of Howm’s unique features is its TODO implementation: ...
I’m starting to worry that Severance is just being weird for the sake of being weird. Some of this stuff had better resolve itself or I’m going to be very disappointed.
We are born with hearts that want to leave a mark on the world. This ability is not lost, it is taken from us. Mike Monteiro, How to draw an orange
Currently, my blog has two types of posts, Journal and Post. Journal entries are comprised of things I collect or think about during each day. I post one per day. Posts are your typical blog post. Posts are (usually) a bit longer and are about a single topic. ...
I still don’t know what belongs here. It’s mostly just a place to write things I’m thinking about. Things that have even the remotest chance of being useful or entertaining to someone else. There are at least three places I write things: Here, the wiki, and my Emacs daybook. And this doesn’t include the paper options. I don’t enjoy having to decide where to put things, but I have been unsuccessful in limiting myself to only one option. ...
My personality is a rolling amalgam of the recent movies, blog posts, and YouTube videos I’ve taken in. I have more open loops than a macrame convention.
