Neat. Good-enough-for-me dotenv loading in #Nushell.
open .env | lines | parse '{k}="{v}"' | reduce -f {} { |it, acc| $acc | insert $it.k ($it.v) } | load-env

Well I downloaded and ran the Nushell binary. Works great.
That’s boring.
So I used Nix home-manager. Now all the things I installed via asdf-vm / Brew and configs managed by dotfiles are ALL Nix.

Woke up thinking about how quick the Drake Equation zeroes out, especially — based on reasonable guesses from local sampling — around L.
So uh good morning.

Me and the missus meeting up with the ex and her missus and a big nap-inducing brunch and everyone getting on and just part of one of the best days.

Carried through on my threat to go with Regolith on the next Linux installation.
Everything’s all the same defaults as the PPA install I did on Pop OS, so nothing exciting to report there. Yep it’s the same Regolith i3/etc setup.

TBH “nothing exciting to report” remains one of the bigger surprises in the exciting world of Linux installation.
The thing works exactly the same as the other way I tried it? Holy crap blog post time!

Asked to introduce myself in a meeting during a very distracted morning.
“Hi! I’m Brian! I’m a chicken.”

Might need to do some electrical fixing kind of stuff.
Time to grab a fork and watch some Electroboom.

me, watching somebody scrolling back through a Rich info panel I put together:
“Uh yeah sorry. That’s kinda optimized for my workflow, with a terminal occupying 2/3 of my 49” wide monitor."

Had to lock the cats out of the office for a little bit because they keep finding things to do and play with that are far more interesting to them than my meeting.

Pause for a second from work stuff because I’m pretty tickled with the lain “centerwork” awesomewm layout on my ludicrously wide monitor.

@jaywilliams Oh yes they are excellent. A sizable chunk of my recent book purchases came from them. Maybe the majority?

@Rob_T_Firefly Thank you! I made sure @IamMrsGeek knew this very important information. She concurs.

Feeling icky last night so I checked out sick from work for today.
Woke up after eight full hours of sleep with some puffy tonsils, so feeling like I made the right call.

Tried to get various Kwin tiling scripts to place windows just how I want them. Failed. So now I have a vanilla awesomewm working. Thing about awesome is you just tell it exactly how you want things.
It’s only a problem if you don’t know exactly how you want things.

April Fool’s Day on the Internet is a bit like Pride Day online in that a lot of terrible companies pretend they have a sense of humor for one day and then go back to dour bleakness at midnight.
