Gemini, sourcehut, and COVID-19

Migration from the Web to my Gemini capsule is, um, progressing slowly. This has happened for a few reasons:

Firstly, I've been slightly distracted by the Gemini space itself! It reminds me a lot of the early days of the Web - things are easily discoverable, and the median post isn't trying to track / scam / misinform / enrage me :)

Secondly, I've also been killing off my old GitHub repos, and migrating everything from GitLab to sourcehut. This is probably news to no-one currently involved in Gemini, but sourcehut is amazeballs. Fast, simple, and you don't require an account to contribute to a project.

Thirdly, this has all been happening while I've been fighting off my first dose of COVID-19. I'm triple-vaxxed so experiencing pretty mild symptoms but the fatigue is a killer. And it's not just physical fatigue but especially mental; I've been deliberately putting off refactoring my Emacs Lisp code that generates this Capsule because I can't think clearly enough for it to be a pleasant job.

So progress on all of this has been made in tiny fits and starts, in the few windows of energy I have between general house maintenance and sprog care (three kids at home for the holidays). Actually, speaking of sprogs, only one is testing positive to COVID-19 (well, SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, but). I suspect they all have it though, based on symptoms.

I am very, very, appreciative of having sick / carer's leave right now. Contracting for years has left me feeling a bit emotionally weird about taking sick leave - fortunately having SARS-CoV-2 cheerfully returning every one of my injuries from the past decade to hurting is helping me get over that ;) But not only do I get sick leave right now, I've been contacted by several of my colleagues to check in on me, and ensure that I'm *actually* resting (not something I'm known for doing well).
