Lots going on with my family: my oldest daughter is pregnant and has moved back to our town with her boyfriend. My son got popped for DUI. My wife has pneumonia (has received medical attention and she's doing a lot better).
All while I essentially live on the road. Our daily phone calls are a huge part of my life as far as maintaining connection to my actual life.
I wrote a bunch of perl scripts back in the 1990s and 2000s. It's been a minute. I am rewriting my gopher/gemini proxy in perl as an excuse to get back into it. I bought another copy of the O'Reily Perl Pocket Reference. So far it has been enjoyable. Except: installing modules in termux under android. Email me if you have tips.
Which makes me want actual linux on the go instead of using termux under android. My gpd pocket's battery life is abysmal and so I started looking around for something diferent. I settled on a Clockwork Pi uConsole. Clockwork Pi states they ship in 90 business days which is 18 weeks. So in January I hopefully get this device and have less issues with things I wish to do.
