Located in a deserted deadend street, its name is shown with a defective hologram in the window over a display of dead flies covered with gray dust.
I am @thefinn and this is my lair
If I ever get around to it you'll eventually find posts here on a mixture of topics. Mostly everyday life, computer stuff, music.
My current favorite record is billy woods & Kenny Segal - Maps.
It's a jazzy, experimental hiphop sort of affair. Aesop Rock features on one of the tracks, and according the MusicBrainz data he helped out with engineering, too.

Aww shit, It's new Jam Baxter day.
Been waiting for this record to drop for a while now. I put a request up on RED this morning and it was filled in about 30 seconds.
Queued now.
Kiddo is back at school, so I'm looking forward to a quiet day in the house. Working out of the bedroom for the last week or two while builder/plasterer do things in the office. What a fucking drag - sleeping, working, and hanging out in the same 10 square feet for weeks on end starts to get old pretty quickly. Hopefully everything is sorted before the 6 week school holidays.
Last night I implemented `bat` for processing pre-formatted blocks in `g`. It's a little rough around the edges, but I landed on a solution that's actually quite efficient, and doesn't require any regex at all.
Well, I decided to rewrite `g` from scratch. It has some okay parts, but my ideas have moved on a lot since the last time I looked at this. The rewrite is going to focus on being modular/easy to extend/modify/hack.
For now I have a basic main() loop that is able to request a resource over gemini, and if it's gemtext, it parses/styles it with coloured headings, bullets, etc.
Next up, I'm going to try and colorize preformatted text using `bat`, and fallback to plain/preformatted text if there's no "```some-language" hint that matches a language `bat` is capable of rendering.
Another Monday.
Kid 1 off to school, kid 2 (annoyingly) home sick. Only 2 weeks to go until they're on their big summer break. Which is both great fun, and makes working from home really tricky for the 3 or so weeks where I'm working but they're still on holiday.
Hoping this week will be a bit quieter than the last couple work-wise. I made good overtime last weekend, but it's meant a 2 week stint with no break at all.
Todays list of shit:
☑ Fix an snmp issue on Debian for the boss
☑ Chase up a job with the networking team because an asshole customer is riding my ass about a job
☑ Swap over gas bottles before we run out
☑ Clean the goddamn kitchen
☑ Check out the new Czarface record - Czartificial Intelligence
