@bthall I can relate, to an extent, though my language is a bit different as not Christian. What's the rush? I swear at my Master constantly and refuse his help except in the most dire need. I'm like "no no, I got this, watch while I make a total mess of it". It's a good thing he's so patient and kind.

Every time I become the slightest bit more willing, I freak out, so progress is very gradual. This is okay. It's okay to be gentle to yourself about your unwillingness to fully rely on God.

A #wiki needs multiple people editing it to thrive but most people seem to prefer doing their own thing.

I just told my wife that the first edit to my blog and #wiki was made 2002-06-23. She asked me why I started it and I remembered Ward Cunningham and the Portland Pattern Repository, and Christopher Alexander and the Timeless Way of Building, and Sunir Shah and Meatball Wiki, and Clifford Adams and UsemodWiki, and how we thought wikis were superior to blogs, and how editable websites was REVOLUTIONARY! And it still is. We all get to publish. It’s amazing to be alive.

Family Lore, Memories and a Wiki
I have a project I've been thinking about, off and on for about 9 months: I want to write down what I can remember of my family lore and also my own family memories from my youth.

Stories told to me by family members about themselves or other family members.
Stuff I was a part of.
My memories of parents and grandparents.

I can't write these in any sort o

From now on, I’m calling the “have one fewer kid” carbon footprint advice “Thanos environmentalism”.

I've been looking around the latest Pythonista beta these last couple of days. It's extremely impressive the things it can do. I wish I felt more confident that I'd use it to automate (or even create new) stuff with it.

@bthall I heard this spoken during an interview with a Chinese factory owner in heavily accented English.

Any time someone implies that they are price-sensitive, I recite it. 🤓

It seems I'll be out of job in January, so I ask you for suggestions.

I mainly teach critical social psychology, personality psychology, organisational psychology, research methods, statistics, psychometrics, discourse psychology, #phenomenology, and history of psychology. And I use :rstats:.

I'm bound to Umeå, Sweden at least half time.
