Probably something to do with a quarter century of muscle memory and deep embedding of a particular tool’s quirks, but I’m having trouble sticking to Emacs over Vim (or Neovim) even for small stuff like this tumblelog.

Looking at nvim-orgmode and even Neorg — though the Neorg spec limit of six levels of header really chafes at my heavily outliner-oriented style. If I accept arbitrary constraints like that, then I may as well use Markdown or Asciidoctor. At least those have familiar syntax.

For today? Emacs may not be comfortable, but it’s the native home for Org files and that’ll do.

Brain blasting “Livin’ La Vida Loca” at full blast over the internal PA system so I guess I’m up now.

Both of Mrs Geek’s offspring are visiting people in other places. They’re both generally delightful people, but it’s been a couple days and I can say with confidence that all the dishes are in the kitchen.

I just need to savor this moment.

Pop OS 22.04 install was basically seamless.

Good good.

Now to screw it up all over again.

My Steam recommendations are usually okay. Sometimes they’re a great match. Sometimes not.

And sometimes a recommendation is so bad I “ignore” the game, then find the publisher and any devs I can find, and block them on every platform.

The Steam window: doing its best impression of me at a party.
