Katy bought a bread slicer, so obviously I had to make a loaf of #sourdough #today to test it out.

Why does it have to take so long to cool?



Trying out #Friendica's #Bluesky bridge. If you've been followed there by @jlamothe.bsky.social, that's me.

Let's see if this post actually shows up there.

For sure, I’d rather keep following you here. I just wanted to confirm your bridge is working but wasn’t sure if I was doing something wrong or your setup is somehow incomplete 🤷
in reply to ilyess

@ilyess It looks like there's a bit of lag in the bridge, but I guess that's to be expected.

oooh, an Emacs blog post! Is it okay if I add jlamothe.net/blog/feed.atom to planet.emacslife.com so that it's easy for people to discover your future blog posts? I can add an Emacs-specific feed instead if you happen to have one (or want to make one).
in reply to Sacha Chua

@Sacha Chua You're welcome to do so, but it's not really an Emacs blog, nor does it have anything resembling a regular schedule. My last blog post (before this one) was over a year ago.
in reply to Jonathan Lamothe

@Sacha Chua FWIW, the next blog post idea I'm kicking around is "finding a privacy-respecting continuous glucose monitor" which (probably) will have nothing to do with Emacs.

ah, it's infrequent enough that I don't mind if other topics get in there. 😀 Thanks for sharing what you're learning!

@Aziz @Jon's Blog Yeah, for me, it's about the auto-repeating tasks. I can't get that with pen and paper, otherwise I'd go that route too.

I'm trying to take the lowest tech route possible these days.



Just had a monitor fail in the most bizarre way posible. I got some weird screen flicker/tearing. I assumed that it was my video card doing someting wonky, especially since it would happen sporadically when playing Minetest, and would often persist for a while after. A reboot cleared it the first time it happened.

This time it was really bad though. The weird thing is that when I disconnected the HDMI cable, the distortion persisted on the OSD. Also, there was still very distinct remnant of the image that had been on the screen. It wasn't your typical burn-in, as it wasn't static. It was just... weird.



It's been over a year now since my last blog post. #Today I started working on a new one about my adventures with #org-mode. As an experiment, I'm trying to compose the post itself in org-mode, and then export to HTML for the site.

Depending on how reasonable the resulting HTML ends up being, this might be my go-to method of composing blog posts going forward.







Just got my sample ink pack in the mail, and I've got to say Diamine Ruby Blues might be my new favourite ink. The photos online don't do it justice. The ink changes colour depending on the angle you look at it from. Is this a more common thing than I realize?

@paradoxmo It uses the word "sheen" on the website, but the colour actually changes depending on the angle it's looked at from, which is why a photo would never do it justice.

@redbanjer 🪕 My two suppliers of choice are Phidon (a local-ish brick and mortar store) and Goulet Pens. Though I've recently heard good things about Jet Pens (I think) but I've no experience with them.

Hit negative spoon territory. Didn't know that was possible. Calling it a night. Hopefully I don't start tomorrow at a defecit.




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.
in reply to Jonathan Lamothe

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.





Cable Replaced


The failing ethernet cable that's been plaguing the server has finally been replaced. Things should be a lot more stable around here. Sorry for all the issues lately.
