📅 day [[2024-11-20]]
  • I’m [[sick]]. Nothing serious, feels like the flu. [[AG]] got it over the weekend.
    • Working from home and catching some [[Meet University]] talks, although today only until 16. There’s an all hands later I may put in the background; I told my manager I was low energy and would focus on resting half a day.
  • I cut my hair, which usually makes me feel fresher, and it did. I also shaved everything except my mustache, for [[Movember]] (is it still a thing? I think so)
📅 day [[2024-11-19]]
  • [[work]]
    • I woke up sick but I worked from home anyway.
    • [[Meet University]] was good!
  • then I rested after work, ate something, spent time with [[Burup]] and caught up with friends
  • then I thought about:
  • [[cwebber]] joined [[social.coop]] earlier this week!

📅 day [[2024-11-15]]
  • I [[worked]]; it was fine actually, I had a late review meeting (I don’t usually have meetings on Fridays) but it was interesting/felt worth it.
  • I met [[L]]! We spent some of the afternoon together. It was very nice to see her.
  • I then worked on [[social.coop]], scaling up (with [[Dan]]). Then I read/wrote/coded a bit.
📅 day [[2024-11-11]]
  • I found a ‘task list’ (I have 7-8 at any given time, usually anything from a3 to a4, envelopes and forms and such that I reuse to write things to do later) which I sort of completed so I archived it. It had the number [[131]] on it, without further context, although it was close to a task related to Wikipedia in the Agora that I have advanced.
    • It is prime in case you’re wondering :) [[prime/131]].
    • Which reminds me about the notion of having prime/ be autopulled when n is a number. Hmm.
  • [[Algún día]]
  • Noding from [[paramita]] and from [[nostromo]] while I work on the Agora tonight.
    • I’m already showered and can go until the time I go to bed, probably early as I woke up at 6am due to double pages :)
    • I’ll enjoy the ride for however long it lasts!
    • I thought of [[2024-11-19]].
    • I thought of the future.
📅 day [[2024-11-10]]
  • [[agora development]]:
    • fix mastodon 4.3 embeds?
    • and what comes next?
  • [[writing]]:
    • I say I want to do more writing in long form/intelligibly to the average prose reader, but don’t often make time for it. Some time ago I said Sundays were going to be for this kind of writing more often, and I could try to uphold this today. Let’s see.
    • [[letters]]: some [[closed]], some [[open]]
  • To test [[collimation]]:
    • As it’s cloudy, maybe I’ll observe the distant LEDs in a construction crane ~500m away tonight.

2024-11-08

  • Back in [[Silverbullet]] after a few days only making it to [[codium]] — which in some ways was good, as it means I managed to carve out some time for some playful coding through the week.
    • [[Stapelberg]] is now using [[Silverbullet]] as well and seems to like it as well although he did comment on the system requirements; I agree it can be intense in larger gardens. But still it is capable enough and a solid enough writing environment that it’s the best tool I know of in knowledge space currently.
  • Work was good, tough at times but I believe overall productive.
    • I’ve been feeling and looking a bit tired lately so I started taking iron again, and might take vitamin D supplements (as I’ve been doing seasonally with good effect).
  • Tomorrow I’ll see [[AG]] :)
  • This evening after work I started working on the Agora and writing. [[Lady Burup]] is sitting to my back on her green cushion.
  • Someone reached out over [[Telegram]].
  • I thought about [[Ekumen]].
  • I did [[Agora development]].
    • I iterated on more interface issues that had long nagged me/I had long wanted to work on.
    • Shipped iterations in the [[themes]].
    • Changed button location to have it make more sense given what it actually does.
📅 day [[2024-11-06]]
  • I shipped a fix to wiki.social.coop (the result of coworking with Dan through the week, it was great!)
  • I shipped some layout/theme improvements to anagora.org, it felt great as well. I like UI stuff actually it seems, in the right dosage.
  • I worked and I was a bit tired at times but it was good and interesting.
  • The [[US Election]] news hit hard, myself and many friends.
  • I spent time with [[Lady Burup]] in the evening :)

📅 day [[2024-11-04]]
  • Back to work :)
    • I had the day off but I decided to work anyway; the meeting load seemed manageable and I was able to carve out a good-sized flow block, so it seemed like a good idea to get the week started today.
    • Ended up working half a day, which seemed like a good compromise; I ticked a few things off my todo list to start the week in good shape, freeing the rest for some critical tasks hopefully.
  • Thought about social.coop after work
    • [[TWG]]:
      • meeting?
    • [[CWG]]:
      • Also the question of [[matrix]] for coordinating work, which is met with resistance by some working group members only. For me interop is the clear solution, let’s see.
📅 day [[2024-11-03]]
  • I’m going to try to go back to keeping more of my todo list here digitally.
  • Today was good; melancholy at times, but it ended up on high notes.
  • Tomorrow I have the day off, but I might work anyway.

  • [[work]] from home as a technician was coming to fix the sinks, it’s great after the fact like a lot of maintenance tasks! I hope to be able to do it myself if it’s needed again, let’s see.
  • [[Ekumen]]
  • [[Feedback on the Agora]] by [[Eduardo]]:
    • No hay jerarquías y no hay orden

      • (Sobre las divisiones entre ágora y no ágora)
      • Primero podría ir el ágora y después de adentro hacia afuera
    • Datos y metadatos están mezclados
    • Líneas y "1 + 1 = 3"
      • Espacio negativo
      • Alternancia entre colores y grises

      • info acá
      • e info en otros lados
    • Transclusión, etc.
    • Quizás un tabbed interface? Mostrar que e.g. wiktionary tiene contenido relevante pero no mostrarlo como elemento de primer nivel.

  • [[Las Jaras]] is here!
    • How sweet it is
  • I’m trying to update the firmware of my [[8bitdo retro keyboard]] and it’s harder than expected due to the fact that [[8bitdo]] only supports Mac and Windows, but I’m making some progress.
