Nat sent this to me after I mentioned l the Apple Watch makes me more anxious of my lack of sleep by constantly reminding me that I’m tired.
Sometimes ignorance is a bliss.
There's Something about Mewgenics 🎮
Mewgenics: a game where cats breed, shoot fireballs, and fight literal crap monsters. 145 hours later, I’m still not half done, with songs from the soundtrack stuck in my head. Get it. Or don’t. But you should.
RSI/Pinky Update
An update on my RSI journey: wider split, full tenting, and giving up Caps Lock for Ctrl. The Glove80 is the likely next keyboard, though the price and return policy give me pause. I’m also using the mouse more in Emacs and rediscovering menus — small heresies that actually help.
Fairness and content
Dan wrote about sharing a bed. I wrote about coffee. We both ended up talking about fairness. Turns out the secret to polyamory isn’t spreadsheets or Google Calendar (though these can help) — it’s treating people like coffee drinkers: some want pour-over, some want cream and sugar, but at the end we all just want coffee. Or being happy in our relationships. Or both.
Finished watching: Prix Pantheon S1E5, Episode 5 📺 This show is not super original, but somehow the way it works and develops clicks nicely. It’s been a while since I could just relax and watch TV. Happy I did.
Emacs Config Gems - Part 5
Time for Emacs Gems part 5… Wordcraft. In a way, what Emacs is all about. I’m going into the built-in dictionary, hippie expand, and ispell.
Oh yes, I think I’m going to enjoy this game very much.
This is now fixed: GCC drive error on macOS: This seems to show up with almost every new Emacs package I’ve been trying recently on my Mac. I remember trying to dig into it, and I went in circles trying to install something from Homebrew. Has anyone fixed this? I’m on GNU Emacs plus 30.2.
A quick update for my Emacs config Gems series:
I am working on part 5, and I’m trying to finalize a few things first. Currently it’s Ispell (I’ve not been using it to its full capacity) and completion… more details soon.
Uploaded the blog’s custom.css file to Codeberg over at codeberg.org/jayteear/… (someone already has JTR on Codeberg, and I can’t find any evidence it was me, so can the real JTR please stand up?)
