Got the answer to the review question from the class material right away but they said it was okay to go beyond class material so here I am reading fancy papers and looking up half the words so I can be sure the answer’s still right.

eh close enough

Not gonna lie some mornings it’s easier to wake up than others.

But through the magic of the #Logseq Interstitial journaling plugin I can now look back in ten years my “WTF was I typing” will be assisted by a timestamp.

Logseq journal for 2022/07/14 zoomed into entry that reads “06:44: phgggll”

ah, meetings are done. Now to see how long it will take to recover that productive can-work energy I had before the meetings.

Saw a Gen-Z youth using “millennial” as an age insult. I feel bad but if we go from Boomer to Millennial for “you’re old” it’s starting to look like Gen-X dodged another bullet.

The olds told us we wouldn’t amount to anything. I can only pray they were right.

Rebooted into Windows so devices could be reliable during morning meetings, so naturally the sound crapped out thirty seconds into the first meeting.

Back in Linux, where sound works.

never thought i would see the day

@rafial I was beginning to doubt after the last few rounds with Pop OS.

Latest iteration of the Linux partition is EndeavourOS + Qtile.

@jhelwig yes but most parsers treat it as optional, and more than a few application handlers disable that particular option.

Looking in awe at the new Webb image and of course my brain had to provide a soundtrack.

Logseq uses the sort of markdown that passes through HTML tags, which are then rendered, so I can for example use <kbd>C-c</kbd> in a note which seems useful and also slightly hazardous.

So of course I’ll make sure to do so all through my notes.

Basing today’s EndeavorOS setup on my Pop OS setup notes from two weeks ago. Thinking it would be a good idea to set up a Logseq template for this checklist.

Also thinking I might have a problem.

@obsolete29 Kind of torn, really. I went from dual 27" to single 49".

  • unified screen real estate+ having my main work directly in front of me+ omg vido games
  • unified screen means no more workflow / layout division by monitor- takes some work to find and set up a window manager layout that tiles appropriately- some games can’t handle the wide and do vertical letterbox; better than the ones that stretch 1080p across full width- frequent annoyance on reboot / resume where Linux doesn’t always power the monitor back on

last is only real issue & drivers will likely catch up

Made it all the way to six hours of sleep last night and I am feeling darn near human.

thinking back on how my teeth clenched when somebody brought up paul graham in a meeting but also amused he was summarized for the unaware as “a vc guy”

Sufficiently annoyed with Pop OS, especially that I don’t know whether to blame it or my own puttering.

Not sure if I broke my Linux sound or Pop OS did. Kind of a coin toss some days.

pipewire-pulse complaining about “Host is down” in the logs. Alas, I don’t have the time. Rebooting.

@yojimbo Won’t be able to poke at it until we hit the magic target of “not working” and “interested in fixing it.”

In Windows until then.
