Currently looking at multiple archived repos, combining tumblelog and note microblogging experiment posts into a single org file for ox-hugo, thinking this is a less bad terrible idea than my immediately prior terrible idea, but please don’t jiggle anything.

It was the public journal sub-notes in my Logseq experiment that did it.
Couldn’t meaningfully link to an individual journal sub-note entry without extra work, and if I’m already doing extra work, why not just start from the extra work with an org-based tumblelog I did a little while ago?

Taking advantage of the fact that Hugo supports Org content, by making “convert Markdown to Org” and “structure for ox-hugo” two distinct steps.

@pdcawley for the conversion? That’s currently manual.
For the tumblelog?
brianwisti/rg-life holds the logic such as it is for the tumblelog, which morphed from ox-hugo to hugo+CLI capture in its brief life.
The capture template used is described at: https://randomgeekery.life/posts/2022/05/02/1456/
File and subtree properties tell the rest of the org logic: https://github.com/brianwisti/rg-life/blob/main/content-org/posts.org?plain=1

@pdcawley The planned reversion is using the tumblelog capture template or something very like it for future microblog-style notes on the main site. Once the dust has settled, that org file will probably have its home in my org-roam notes.

@pdcawley pandoc would do the job at least for a first pass. I’ve just needed to do close checks and tweaks after bulk conversions often enough that I skipped the automated step this time around.

A little frustrated by zombie job openings.
Got a job alert for an opening relevant to my skills. Thought the name looked familiar. Looked it up in my notes. Yep, applied for that exact position at that exact org over a year ago. Also remembered doing this same search a few months ago.
This has happened many times, but the eye rolling gets more severe as the search goes on and there’s these “openings” that have been listed and relisted since (at least) 2022.

@dashdsrdash with better repostings though, some aspect of the description updates to reflect lessons learned, i.e. “no serial killers please”

@zachleat oh uh gatsby looking sadder than i thought
hackers.town: 2024-04-09 Tue 13:17
@zachleat over a thousand commits isn’t necessarily a good sign, but 13 commits on a project with 55k stars and 167 open issues? That is a bad sign.
hackers.town: 2024-04-09 Tue 13:21
@zachleat Gatsby’s going to the Gridsome place, where they don’t do anything with it but they refuse to archive or say anything out loud.

Interesting shotgun recruiter choice.
I’m Brian not Brandon (kindergarten flashbacks TYVM)
We never spoke.
M/FB? I am that desperate, but I would’ve remembered the post-conversation shower that would never make me clean.
anyways, better emails in the other inbox

Is the internet sad?
Hang on let me rephrase.
Anybody experiencing connectivity and latency issues worth noting since oh say 4pm Pacific?
Seeing sluggish loads from many but not all sites.
hackers.town: 2024-04-09 Tue 16:47
@tk It’s turning into most sites, so I’m beginning to think Azure, AWS, or XFinity are having a bad day.
hackers.town: 2024-04-09 Tue 19:04
Rapid escalation of complexity as soon as I involve Emacs.
Well.
All the other solutions are complex too, as I’ve learned while digging into their structures.
Emacs just doesn’t bother to hide any of that complexity.
Still deciding how I feel about that.
hackers.town: 2024-04-09 Tue 19:23
@tek that’s never been the impression I get. I get the feel that Emacs wants me to be right, which it considers way more important than happy.

@tek @screwtape I DON’T APPRECIATE JUST WALTZING IN WITH AI LIKE THAT
hackers.town: 2024-04-09 Tue 22:14
dangit brain look at the subject line of emails a little more often
hackers.town: 2024-04-09 Tue 22:25
@Wrewdison @lmorchard It’s the thing where automated job application rejections show up.
hackers.town: 2024-04-09 Tue 22:30
Kinda surprised how much Rails has started showing up in job requirements again. I might want to catch up on the last oh say 10 years or so.
hackers.town: 2024-04-09 Tue 22:38
@pdcawley as far as I know, yes. But I’ve avoided with sufficient success that I don’t know anything current about his activities or declarations.
