@Jellal I know phrases like, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

@Jellal I don't know if I even know what that means.

@kai emacs does have a web browser, eww.

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/enlightenment/ <-- I'm also getting quite interested in wanting to study the enlightenment period of western philosophy, the philosophes.

Back into this Greek - An Intensive Course by Hansen and Quinn. I'm starting to pick it up more effectively. It's starting to flow more like a natural language versus just paradigms and exercises. I have a new strategy for approaching the book. Basically, I'm learning the vocabulary by looking for English words that interest me from the lexicon, translating to Greek, and then tinkering with the grammar I'm working with. I'm trying to approach this like a modern language as much as possible.

My grandfather was a train conductor, and I have inherited his pocket watch.

I miss my great grandmother. She wore these huge buttons on her jacket. Just a sophisticated lady.

I wonder about the idea of studying Sanskrit after Greek. We'll have to see. I have a lot of work to do even now with the Greek, for sure.

My favorite piece by Renoir.

Cecil Taylor reached a higher level of linguistics on the piano. He really communicated great energy and knowledge.

I have a vivid intelligent imagination. I think that imagination is so important.

@bthall It's much much more ergonomic than using [esc] for escape.

@bthall Also I have remapped Caps to Control. I use Control+[ for escape.

@bthall I learned via vimtutor. It's nice! Then I would recommend practical vim from pragmatic press.

@bthall There is also the official vim tutorial. $ vimtutor.
