worst thing about working near my cat is her insistent desire to be in my face, getting rubs.

she really, really, likes that.

Note regarding information management.

I use org-roam for my long term information store.

I'm using Obsidian as a cross-platform system that I'll be importing into org-roam; I *pay* for the sync service of Obsidian.

@amatecha @natecull @alcinnz

see Gentoo for an implementation of that.

@tk yeah, seattle has gotten pretty unpleasant. :-/ very sad.

@finn :) thank you!

@isagalaev sorry man. :(

looks like Putin has launched war on Ukraine.

what a sad thing.

the explosion of misinformation is going to be spectacular. trying to journal to keep interesting tidbits stored, so that down the road I can read back and reflect on odd bits that come out and then got forgotten/dropped.

@finn can I help get the images working again?

apparently truth social, the trump mastodon, has launchedish.

should be interesting.......

working on "caching large immutable data for queries" in golang.

hoping I can make it work this time.

last time I tried it, it was in common lisp, with more aspect oriented programming bits than I could figure out as the nil pointer dereferences flamed around me.

@Canageek @Nezchan @anthracite @celesteh

thats the big time, dang.

@Canageek @Nezchan @anthracite honestly this year/last year I've gotten into "the comics" ie dc and marvel some, and it makes me itchy to do my own thing, something more interesting to a middle aged guy, rather than power fantasies of violence...

@Nezchan @Canageek @anthracite I used to have like 10? 20? comics I read daily. just absolutely fell in love with the medium.

but they also were targeted at kinda the college kid demographic/interests, and I aged out of it.

oy, I feel old now lol.

@Canageek @anthracite @Nezchan honestly my take is that a ton of early webcomics were knocked together by college kids on a lark or other ultrahobbiests

and then early megatokyo was just blech

so that informs a lot of color choices and preferences. I always love going through a webcomic and watching the art style firm up and develop. :)

@Canageek that's a VERY 90s color scheme there. it was in the cultural water.

there's probably several lineages of early webcomics that can be traced, I'd guess. Punk zine style, Marvel/DC style, and anime style are how I think things go.

IDK. There's probably some super rich anthropological material there describing the cultures of the time.

acquired a Cherry MX Brown keyboard - the Kinesis Edge RGB.

its very nice.

I have a MX Blue edition of same, but caught complaints over "clickieness". Sigh.

@wilfredh interesting. That's precisely what I *want* in general.

@raye they have to schedule an appointment

(I can help with that if that's a direction you're interested in )
