Example of a curious perversion of accessibility technology: being lazy with audio mixing and making dialogue audible because "hey you can just switch the subtitles on".

A thing I noticed about capsules is that their certificates expire and more than once they aren't tended to enough for a renewal (and even if they are renewed you have to go through a rigmorarole to accept that change). Uh oh, that sounds like link rot Gemini-style.

Scheduled a councelling session to have a look at my ailing productivity. It's not just work, it's all parts of my life.

This is perhaps not out of the ordinary, but I think that at some point I have this Thing going on where completely unrelated bits of knowledge get put together in my mind. Random bits of ${video game} lore get rubbed together with tropical cyclone classification systems and I want to see what sparks come out.

I wrote some preparatory maths about energy use with computers. gemini://isoraqathedh.pollux.casa/energy-competition.gmi

I spent this holiday trying to explore places that I haven't been to yet. It kind of worked, but of course there's opportunity costs to it. Additionally, I took some time to expand my diecast car collection. Regardless of what you think about cars, they certainly are fascinating in terms of what they look like.

Having now written a couple of things on Gemini, I have come to appreciate CSS again in a new light. I'm now having thoughts to change up my CSS on my Github Pages website - along with some of the content - to make it more amenable to the tastes I have now.

I have made some metro maps as a bit of a thing that I always wanted to do. I may possibly put these in context in my capsule later. gemini://isoraqathedh.pollux.casa/img/derten-community-rail.png gemini://isoraqathedh.pollux.casa/img/turn-v.png

I am currently reading Winning Ways for your Mathematical Plays and can heartily recommend it. I borrowed it from the library at the recommendation of a YouTube video that describes some of its concepts. I'm seriously trying to read it and understand the concepts rather than just consuming it.

Today I end up having to break off work early because I basically have no ability to think productively. I can't even do things that were pretty easy two weeks ago. Something has tripped inside my head I don't know what.

Goodness, don't I wish I have time. Today my thoughts are just not at work, but even with full drive to get some things done at home it amounted to very little in the end. Honestly, I think my mental stamina has taken a huge hit some time during my time at work.

It is unfortunate that some fool has decided to peddle his "completed product" (a sketchy cryptocurrency which in no way meets my own definition of a working currency) on Geddit repeatedly. Also apparently conflating Gemini (protocol) with other projects named the same, though interestingly not the cryptocurrency exchange.

Oh dear, the host my capsule is on has vanished and I am unsure how or if I should contact the admin to get it back up.

I've created a directory listing for my capsule. Be sure to check the link to the code generating it, as it also generates an atom feed. gemini://isoraqathedh.pollux.casa/dirs.gmi

So Ariane updated! ...but it seems to have lost its ability to import certificates. Whoops.

I'm writing a shell script wrapped in an org-mode file that creates an automatic directory listing of all gemtext files in my capsule, as I don't have access to server-side scripting. Later on, it will also create an Atom feed based on the last-modified date on all "eligible files" (which would most likely come in the form of a hashtag on the file itself, or embedded in the org-mode document if that is too ugly).

Managed to port my language list over to gemtext. It's surprisingly not so hard to then reconvert this to org-mode; and in fact I think this is agood middle step as opposed to converting to org-mode directly. It is here if you want to see it: gemini://isoraqathedh.pollux.casa/language-list.gmi

One thing that I noticed when I'm writing for my own capsule is just how much I'm forced to think about what to /write/. Saves me a lot of pain yak-shaving for layout options as compared to writing raw HTML, but gives me ideas about when how my website will eventually be laid out... eventually.

There is a surprising amount of Toki Pona speakers - that is, any amount at all - in Geminispace. I wonder how prominent the rest of conlang field is around here.

I now have a capsule of my own. I'm going to use it as a pressure relief but for words. gemini://isoraqathedh.pollux.casa/ujmj.gmi

Strongly considering just saying "whatever" for now and asking for someone to host a capsule for me while the rest of my life arranges itself enough to get the rest of my infrastructure set up. To that end I am writing some basic pages.

One major shift to do when being on gemini is to make heavy use of bookmarks. It's easy to get away with tabs in most cases but some browsers just don't have them, so bookmarks tend to be the rule of the day.

There really is a whole bunch of things I want to do. One of them is to somehow get my own capsule, but I also want to write radiance-gemini first and find a suitable web space to put it on. Then there's also all the stuff I want to put on it from all the hobbies…

So, between Mastodon, a gemlog and this, I now have three extra bits of social media that I haven't expected myself using. That having been said, it probably would be a much more healthier experience to be here than in any of the bigger ones.
