What's the right word for a gemini site? I've read "capsule", "gemsite", "gemlog". What's the right one? Btw I made an account on tilde.pink to have a gopher. It's a small project but it's pretty fun. Yesterday I got a couple of comments (i.e. e-mails) about stuff I've said here. That's amazing!
Happy for the outcome of the election last night. It was a busy day because I had to fly to the city I was registered to vote and then come back but everything went smooth. Also, I didn't complete some of my goals for the week but I'm doing alright. I have to read a couple of books for book clubs and think whether I move these days or stay.
I went to a forest in town near the mountains I never visited before and it was awesome but I'm not in the best shape. I saw some caterpillars, lizards, a horse and got startled by a snake while looking for my water bottle. I always lose water bottles.
I'm a bit stressed by my express trip this weekend.
Maybe it's worth today was the first anniversary of the social protests which albeit important and necessary to an extent made my life a bit more difficult. Next week I'll be very tired for a trip I need to do in order to vote.
I ate all the cookies and tried unsuccessfully to keep on reading War And Peace. I get distracted very easily. My penpal from the US wrote me an email.
Next week my plan is to:
- Pay some stuff
- Go to a park or the forest (and take some pictures)
- Apply to at least 5 positions (harder than it sounds)
- Advance at least 2 chapters in the Python book
- Read at least 200 pages of War & Peace
- Vote
I noticed I lacked a journal or a gemlog and I think it comes in handy. I have other blogs but I'd like to keep this one a bit more about personal things without getting too much into unnecesary details. As I said somewhere else, it was getting involved with the SDF and Mastodon which let me learn about all these little things and all this wonderful people. It's not like Twitter or Reddit where your community is all about opinions and consuming content. The people I've met online these last months are more about doing stuff and using technology consciously to create something fun whether it's content or a tool. That makes them way less politically toxic (even if they have their opinions which I have as well).
What can I say? It's spring in Chile. At this moment I'm thinking whether or not the gym is a good or a bad idea. On the other hand, but they might not open until next year (They open at the last stage of deconfinement in Chile unless they change the rules, it wouldn't surprise me). Also I'm trying to land a job and find a new room to stay. I don't know how long it'll take. Also, I'm relearning Python and Plan9.
I just baked some basic recipe of cookies and it's much easier than the ones I made in the past.
