- work day. booted up the oldcomp after work.
- last night after i posted day3.txt in IRC, ~oak put in a good word for
  calendar program "pal".
- i was invited to a play reading over zoom. i used my work computer for that,
  but used the Old Computer for reading the PDF of the play (in mupdf).
  at one point I pressed some wrong key and the page rotated, and i missed some
  lines while i had to look up the manual page for how to rotate it back.
  (it's '[' and ']'.)
- thanks soapdog for inviting me to tilde.news :)
- reading scrollback... as usual the last lines are people saying good night -
  i'm on the oldcomp night shift XD
- the mem=512M kernel argument didn't take - looks like i didn't save the grub
  config properly. i'll try it again tomorrow.
- helped kayw with ssb onboarding. the trick was to use the invite code again.
- thinking about connection between verses like in plays (rhyming couplets,
  etc.) and structuring text to fit in 72 character lines.
- a high school friend announces a release on bandcamp. let's see if that site
  works in arcticfox. it does
- interesting links in #old-computer-challenge IRC channel overnight as usual.
- learning Lots of Things. coma(1)... display(1) taking HTTPS URLs...
- thinking about using the imac g3 for this challenge next time...
- pastebin sites creating filenames starting with '-' -> must rename before
  sxiv will open.
- things i wonder about how other people handle it: x clipboard vs. selection.
  i use a key binding to sync them "xsel | xsel -ib"...
  using sxhkd for the key bindings.
- chatted with anthk_ in irc.
- i wonder if other ppc linux users prefer arcticfox, spiderweb, or interweb.
- unsuspending ssb-server computer, to catch up on two days of ssb.
- hosting this on gopher
