plans for weewiki: a zettelkasten-like interface, a microblogging platform inspired by !twtxt, and some utilities for managing collections of SQLar archives. #updates #halfbakedideas
There is likely no media that has not been altered by coronavirus. This is a perfectly clear and convincing argument for living text. Horvath had no intention of this sentence being haunting to the reader because she could not have predicted that the reader would be in the middle of a years long pandemic. The authors intention counts for less than half of the book\s ultimate meaning.

The copy I’m reading is from archive.org, and it is archive.org-tastic, complete with OCR defects and weirdness. Good dash of comedy so far to leaven the mood, since the girl just lost her parents and all. Her caretaker is named Perfidy, which means something like unfaithful or disloyal.
@lucididiot@tilde.town thank you for the backup! i agree that wiki is in dire need of some maintenance but that hardly seems like a reason to just up and delete it…
@vain@www.uninformativ.de your twtxt setup looks nice. It looks like what i’d like to do in some time when i’m better at Go
I’ve recently been reading up on zettelkastens again, since it is very closely related to the ethos of a personal wiki system like !weewiki. The thing that interests me is the emergent patterns that come from linking things to things. Which is exactly the sort of solution I’m looking for !sample_curation. #halfbakedideas
i like hugo a whole bunch, i just wish the docs didn’t make me go UGH sometimes
bashblog’s innards are interesting. it will take me a bit, but i’m sure i can reassemble it to my liking
i just closed a whole bunch of browser tabs. like over 20. i need to high 5 someone
i didn’t think clients would be necessary for something like twtxt and yet here we are

i tried joining twitter a couple times. i regretted it nearly instantly. this seems like it might be more up my alley. hello.

in the original twtxt your URL is your identity. No need for anyone outside your control to do account managment. One reason I’ll likely be sticking with command line. But, great work
@prologic@twtxt.net what is the exact syntax neeed for threads to work in the subject, e.g. will (#tsvhqdq) do it? The whole … (#tsvhqdq) thing seems like a bit of overkill. Too many characters.
There is a palpable difference between the universe described by many religions and the universe described by science. The former is all built from concepts rooted in human society such as father, son, judgment, commandment, obedience, sacrifice, punishment etc. The latter is built from eerie ideas such as force field, wavefunction, observable, reference frame, superposition etc. The former feels small, ordinary, familiar and manmade. The latter feels like we’re fumbling for words to describe something that fundamentally transcends ordinary human experience. 100k Stars | Hacker News
@prologic@twtxt.net twtxt is so simple one could read with netcat, cat and tail. I like that.
been adopting a document-as-you go approach to the !monolith wiki. as I dogfood my software to make pieces an etudes like !breathing_cards, I write about it in a wiki stub. #workflow #documentation
added @!(sndkitref “bezier”)!@ to !sndkit today. coupled with @!(sndkitref “oscf”)!@, it is capable of making some really weird wet FM-y sounds. Me like! #updates #sndkit

Probably career suicidal (never admit it in your application) but honestly the thing I’ve found helps is just not caring about work at all. It’s like the equivalent to acceptance in grief. Get the day done, look forward to the weekend, when you book time off make sure to book the following Monday. I’ll do the job as best I can for as long as I’m paid but if you think I’m here for any reason other than money to pay the bills you’re completely delusional.

I feel like I am not using my time very well but I also feel too tired to be productive or even just present
hey, it looks like at some point I spewed over 100 tweets here! I’m not seeing my first tweet anymore at my !feed. huzzah!
Bought some new pants and washed them. They’re hang-dry only, so I took them into my bedroom and pointed a fan at them to hurry the process along. Several hours later, my bedroom still smells like new pants.
well, it seems like I managed to automatically weave all the !literate_programming parts into a !weewiki! It’s not all that helpful yet though, due to the fact that pages have autogenerated names like ‘wm_000_0002’. A table of contents comes next…

I never thought I’d ever say this, but I am officially done with Csound. I’ve been using Csound since I was 16 years old, but now I feel like throwing my copy of the Csound book in the trash. Good riddance.
When in challenging or sad situations it’s only reasonable to be grumpy, or pessimistic or what have you. Negative emotions or feelings are part of our natural range and appropriate depending on the cirumstances. Forced positivy to me always has something ghoulish, Truman-show like.

at the end of the day, I do like the stiffness of the tactile grey switches, even if it means I don’t get to type as fast, or as long. they just feel great to me. #mk
