Just ordered an "inkvent" calendar because apparently they sell out fast. Now I just have to restrain myself from opening it until December. Fortunately I ordered a random sample pack as well, so we have something to keep us occupied in the meantime.

thank you, I look forward to what you share.

Welp, I had hoped this would arrive before the Canada Post strike. I guess not.

That's unfortunate.




I think, for the sake of my mental health, I'm going to take a step away from the news and social media for a bit.

Was mostly successful at this today. Winding the night down with some tea and a good book.

We'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe

I did the same, for the same reason. And I too was *mostly* successful. One day at a time…



Every time papa cleans and re-inks his pens I must supervise. I don't know why he keeps trying to stop me.

Broke my #LambdaMOO sushi bar by accidentally going over quota trying to add a requested item to the menu.

Don't have time to fix it at the moment, but I'll take care of it in the next couple days.

Sorry @screwlisp et. al.



Typesetting question:

I've noticed that in many novels there will be a scene change within a chapter that is marked by a larger than normal gap between two paragraphs. Is there a way to represent this in a #LaTeX document?

in reply to Matthew Skala

@mattskala not internal,, as they are user level commands. But yes, it's part of #TeLaTeX without any package

NewDocumentCommand is the modern replacement of newcommand. (see `texdoc usrguide`)

The hook with OmitIndent allows to set the \noindent for the following paragraph, while \noindent has to be called at the beginning of that paragraph.(`texdoc ltpara-doc¸`)

Online links of the documentation:
texdoc.org/serve/usrguide/0
texdoc.org/serve/ltpara-doc/0

in reply to Marei

@mattskala Oh and I of course I agree there are document class which support that by default. Just sometimes one may not use those or can't or whatever. So I wanted to provide a general option. Of course you should check the documentation of the document class first.

memoir's plainbreak is defined similar. But what I don't like about it, that it does not have a default value for the size. So I'd still define my own \chapterSep to be like \plainbreak{1} to be able to adjust that globally.

Of course, just as I'm starting to get this cough back under control I had to go and choke on my water again...


Just got a notification from F-Droid that my browser ( #Fennec ) has known #security issues. Looks like I'm in the market for a new browser on my mobile devices.

I know I'm gonna hate asking this, but what browser sucks the least on #Android these days?

I saw over on Mastodon that an update is coming soon, so I don't think you need to be in a rush to switch.
in reply to Russ O ❤ 🇺🇦

@Russ O ❤ 🇺🇦 Yeah, I mostly only use the browser on my phone with trustworthy-ish sites, so I'm not in a huge rush. If they fix it before I find an alternative, so much the better.


Does anyone know if #org-mode has a way to specify a repeating scheduled item in UTC time? I have a few of these, and don't want to have to adjust them all when the clock changes. #emacs

Maybe a answer : org-mode utc
in reply to lann

@lann This is close to what I'm looking for. Ideally, I'd like to be able to do something like set a property on a headline that says "treat everything in this subtree as UTC".

Oh neat, I'm doing the cough-so-hard-I-almost-pass-out thing again. 🙃
