Deleted most social apps from my phone and now carry a pocket sketchbook with me to replace mindless scrolling with exercising my creative muscles. I might need to delete Lagrange too, since I am writing this post instead of sketching...
Even though I only practiced jogging at a comfortable pace, it seems I got faster at sprinting too. Very useful for catching the bus.
I don't know what a gopher is and at this point I'm afraid to ask
How are people so good at making ASCII art? Are there tools that help with that, like a GIMP or Krita for ASCII? I know you can convert images to ASCII but that doesn't seem to be what most people in gemini space do.
Does anyone else feel watched when participating in these early stages of Gemini? I think that regardless of wether Gemini grows to be much more popular or if it dies tomorrow, future historians will find a time capsule with all of today's gemini space and study this little internet phenomenon with great interest.
I made traditional Austrian Christmas biscuits today, according to my grandmas recipe. They are called Vanillekipferl and are one of the best things about Christmas. Photo and recipe are here, if anyone should be interested: gemini://dira.cc/gemlog/recipe-vanillekipferl/
What are some traditional foods in your country for this time of the year?
New gemlog: My mediocre review of The Sims 2 (but not the one you are thinking of)!

I should be working on my bachelor's thesis, but decided to procrastinate by writing a game review for the first time. I justify it by saying I need practice writing just in general, and a review of a niche game on a niche subset of the web is a low-risk way of trying this out. What are your currently preferred methods of procrastination?
I'd like to tinker around with DIY quantum experiments. Ideal single-photon-sources do not exist yet, but are there any cheap approximate ones? I saw that there are diodes that can detect single photons and beam splitters shouldn't be too hard to come by, but I don't know what to do about the source.
I tidied up my capsule. Updated some information, added emoji, and wrote a small script to generate an Atom feed with Python and feedgen. Am quite happy with the result.
Come say hello if you want at gemini://dira.cc
I'm thinking about adding an Atom feed to my home capsule but I'm hesitent because I might want to change the file structure of my gemlog later. Could it cause any problems if I retroactively change the links in past log entries?
