Oh good, Let's Encrypt sent me an email about how they're no longer going to be sending notifications about expiring SSL certificates.

I do not foresee this causing me any problems at all. 🙃

Fun fact: VPNs stop working when you forget to pay the bill.

#ADHD is fun.

Today I somehow fumbled an #org-mode keyboard command and made a file into an attachment on itself. I didn't know that was possible.

Fortunately, revision control came to the rescue.

#emacs #git

TIL that tuning a glass pen with sandpaper (even the one included with the pen) should only be attempted by an experienced user.

Also, #today I gained a lot of experience in this area out of necessity after the fact. Still, I shan't be doing that again for a while.

More dead tree spam from the Conservative party addressed to my father (who has never lived here). This one was labelled "compliance request" with a red military stencil looking font that said "URGENT: CODE RED". This speaks to the way they percieve the intelligence of their supporters. I weep for the state of politics in this country.

It got a big fat "return to sender".

Is there a way to tell #Emacs #org-mode to omit yhe TOC and headline numbers when exporting to a text or markdown file? I'm trying to implement a #JohnnyDecimal system, so I'm supplying my own numbers and the 00.00-index.org file essentially is the table of contents.

Edit: Because not all replies federate, here's the solution I ended up with:

#+STARTUP: overview indent nonum
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil

I got a new phone because my old one was giving out on me. This one is a decided downgrade from the last one, but that's (mostly) fine.

Anyhow, the new phone doesn't support wireless charging. Because of this, I can no longer charge it on the night stand breside my bed. When I wake up in the morning, my impulse in my half-awake state is to just grab my phone and go, forgetting that it's now tethered to the wall. This was not going to end well for anyone, most especially not my charging cable/port.

I charge it in the living room now.

I'm surprised that AWK is so bad at handling CSV out of the box.

Yes, I know about the --csv flag in later versions of gawk, but that isn't an option in this case.

I run a pretty tight budget. Twice a year, I get a fun surprise from my domain registrar (because I have two domains with them). They both come with a "free business card generator" that I have never used, but whatever.

Anyhow, every time a domain comes up for renewal, it's expected, budgeted, and paid for. All is good.

Then, about a month later I open my email and see an unexpected additional "receipt" from them. This sends me into a brief panic until I realize it's a $0 receipt for the business card bullshit.

I need to find more excuses to use my glass pen. It's totally not practical as a daily use pen, but it's soooo satisfying to use.

I need to write some fancy letters or something.
