orgmode has left me cold. it’s beautiful in some ways but just another wild format that leaves you locked into bullshit. the older i get the more i realize that it’s necessary to cut out everything that holds me back.

The title or name or whatever of this post was supposed to be whatever my ctrl-v was. i was pretty sure it would be a from a text i had previously copied to renamed something but, apparently, it was nothing. my attempt to paste was yet another successful failure.

i’m finally getting around to updating my site. whee. hip hip hooray. blah.

i feel like i’ve been banished into something but i can’t exactly figure out what. until i do, i’ll work on javascript.

• nobody cares to or wants to maintain and build systems.

Social Distancing

that’s the name of the game these days. on the plus side i’m getting plenty of work done but on the minus side the depression is as great as ever. not actually because of the pandemic/covid-19 but mostly because the nature of the world is relentlessly foolish.

regardless. here we are.

on the plus side, i’ve started blogging again but, on the minus side, it’s blogging.

I’ve taken to keeping a flock of parakeets now. It’s nice - they’re smart, psychotic, little creatures. Always up to something. Except when they’re not - which is a lot of the time.

I’m focusing now. Might update later.

It’s later. I’m tired of cloud solutions and cloud providers. I understand their necessity but I find the jargon and what not annoying. I’ve also fallen out of favor with cloud storage solutions. It’s all fun and games until you realize you can never stop. The more photos you take the more storage you need - the more storage you need the more you pay for storage - the more storage you have the harder it is to free yourself from the system. Sure, 2 terabytes of storage is impressive until you need to download it all on a crumby Comcast connection that limits you, btw, to 1 terabyte a month.
