Notes-and-Miscellanea

Goal None. Just writing to get back into the swing of things 2025-02-18 18:30 Got quite a bit done, on a day I couldn’t do much. Now that personal issues have gotten handle-able but still take a big chunk of the day, I got meself a different timetable Clearing my mind like this, and adapting my day to new life changes is always a relief. Changed my daily org file to reflect the new state of life Working backwards from the big stones, from what I want done + what I have to do, and then trying to fit what I can in.

Goal Relax and recover 2025-02-06 9:30 Shower thought. When I write, am I a pantser or an outliner? I’m a pantser, a discoverer, who rapidly outlines as soon as he sees the shape of something and then pantses on the outline 😂 10:07: Using git frequently enough, now to start using Magit methinks. Just done package-install magit. Will slowly ramp up as I write more. Aaaaaand I give up. No forgejo support. Also not as intuitive as I thought it’d. (That’s my problem though, not Magit’s) 11:30: Lazygit is it. Reminds me of Norton Commander. Pretty intuitive UI (down to the small p for pull and big P for Push. Reminds me of all the old DOS TUIs). 2025-02-06 12:30 Client Meeting 2025-02-06 17:00 Went to the doc. Now to rest a bit Feedback on this post? Mail me at feedback at this domain. P.S.

Sleepy Day

Slow recovery day

Sunday, lazy Sunday!

Goal Nothing! Still recovering. Still feeling blergh. Yesterday was godaweful 2025-02-01 10:40 Will try playing with Go to get rederb done Oh, but before that I ought to get a couple of tiny Ansible tasks done, so I can leave Ansible behind for now. got music working. now to get books working. done. 2025-02-01 12:45 Now to why I started this darned Ansible exercise in the first place 😂 12:55: Lunch 13:20: Back 13:48: Done! That was quick! 14:13: Forgot my audiobooks nginx config! 14:24: And done. This really feels like a snowball rolling downhill now! This brings an end to my Ansible learning journey. I learnt lots. Ansible Lint was a really good fast feedback tool. I learnt a lot from fixing (or not) the errors it threw it me. I learnt to write idiomatic Ansible thanks to it. And now that I dunnit, I’ll come back when I can spare the time to add playbooks for the other two tiny machines. 2025-02-01 16:30 17:35, thank goodness to all the notes i left behind, I think I’ve come up to speed with where I left things with Rederb 18:36, Ok no. this is not working. will try reading some book, just as I did with ansible and then come back to this. if i can’t do it tomorrow, the project goes on the backburner 20:21: time to give up when you get an error saying ./todo.go:49:1: missing return and you go to line 49 and hit the enter key more tomorrow Feedback on this post?
