Nano Log

Have been working on making my Python curses app behave a bit better when resized. Not perfect but more responsive.

Having lots of fun this week with pyradio and tuning into stations across the world. Much audio variety!

Have two flash fiction stories almost good to go. Final tweaks tonight or tomorrow. Perfectionism was the enemey of completion as usual.

So I switched out marco for i3 (tiling window manager). I've memorised just enough keyboard shortcuts to get started. So far really enjoying it. Decided to give it a whirl when I released I was just using my workspaces/windows in a similar pattern to YouTubers I watch who run various TWMs.

I like my Pi 400. It is a nice thing. But struggling to find a good use for it so may just sell.

Couple of flash fiction stories on the go. Both solid setups but need to get the endings figured out. Currently just situations rather than dramas. Fun puzzling it out though.

...and I'm back. Some side-effects from the jab. Don't let it put you off!

First vaccination today. Also a big cycle to nearby town and a good session in the garden. Lovely sunshine too!

In an odd turn of events, I am pondering writing a C++ program. I may flip back to Python or JS if I can get over the dependencies issue. More to do with writing something Linux native than language choice.

I was using a different device with my morning coffee today. This meant I didn't play Mahjongg. I found I really missed it. Not just the fun. It helps me wake up now.

Starting the day with heavy rain.

Trying out Lagrange to browse Gemini sites and toying with moving this to a capsule.

Yesterday's bike ride was good. Managed a tricky hill then had a clear run on a downhill stretch over an old high scenic rail bridge.

Down on the beach this morning watching a paddle boarder and a canoeist. Looks like a good day.

Hello Ubuntu Mate. Things are looking snappier.

May add a page on here about sleep. Have a Python page that is almost good to go.

This month's weather looks rather wet. Great for the garden. Not so much for getting out and about.

It occurs to me that I update this log almost exclusively in the mornings. I wonder if evening thoughts would be dramatically different.

Need to redo my Ubuntu Mate USB - something to do with Grub but it is fixed with the latest Rufus.

Planning a distro-hop (well just a DE change) to Ubuntu Mate sometime this week.

Working on expanding the content on this site. Copy/Paste is much more natural than some overblown CMS. I like the simplicity.

Hello to another month. Really enjoying the micro editor, already on my must install list. Also recently rediscovered git-cola.
