A shorter gemlog for rambly things. Inspired by solderpunk's pikkulog, in turn inspired by shufei's weiphlog.
I missed pretty much all of Halloween. That doesn't bother me much, since it's not a holiday I'm used to celebrating, and dressing up in costume always seemed like too much of a hassle. But after Halloween it feels like the year's almost up, since it's just Christmas left, and that's always been a melancholy sort of thing before. Then again, we can only hope that 2021 will be a less God-forsaken year. In doing this I frankly expect little -- things will not get better quickly, and there are many things that can get worse -- but nonetheless, I still find myself hoping for much.
I'm still in the process of setting up my own gemini space here on circumlunar.space but I have to admit it's been interesting so far. It's not like I have zero familiarity with the command line, but the experience of working on a remote machine, much less one shared with other users? That's new. I grew up in the personal computer era, but before the Web was ubiquitous. What are multi-user systems?
There's a little bit of work involved in figuring out how I want to do things: how to organise my space here and the things I want to put up, how to transfer drafts from my local machine to circumlunar space, how to write and format content. None of it is particularly difficult, and it's all good. The best way to learn is to do.
