Idea about using the fragment identifier in Gemini urls: a client /may/ (but does not have to) initiate a full text search of things that come after the #.

In 2000, the trams put up new destination blinds that add colour to each destination. This is redundant information, but it helps me identify where a tram is going because the colours are designed such that roughly colour and direction determine destination uniquely. I can see the colour from much further away than actually reading, so it helps a lot. But now they are going away due to the new LED panels being monochrome. I feel like something is lost here somehow.

My recent haul at the toy car shop has netted me a couple of big 7-seaters and the regular super-/hypercar menagerie. There are significantly fewer 4/5-seaters and smaller cars. I can't tell if that has anything to do with the modern taste of cars.

I have been finding a lot of cool new Wordle clones. Some of which are in Cantonese, my native language; one with arithmetic equations; and also one with Riichi mahjong hands. They are fascinating and I have not been swept up with any such like for a long time.

I want to give much thanks to @jk for creating the smol emoji font. I can now use it for my status bar also, which means I can reduce my dependence on FontAwesome.

I'm hearing from around the grapevine that Toki Pona now has an ISO language code (3 letters long). From c. Friday onwards, you can tag your Toki Pona using the language code "tok".

Feeling a bit strange right now as I make my way towards a PhD application. Alweays thinking about what I'm doing and whether I'm just stalling for life and money.

So that's it. Two years and a small cost in brain cells later my work contract has ended. I don't know if it's positive, but I'm trying to move forward with my academia projects now.

Actually, and following on from my previous post, it's a little sad that people don't make mechanical devices anymore. Everything's computer controlled and therefore much harder to examine than it needs to.

There seems to be a significant lack in anti-epidemic measures that *don't* involve the public to "buy in to" them. Things like mechanical machines for air filtration and ventilation, which work for any virus and are a good idea anyway. This is pretty worrisome.

A thing that someone pointed out to me that now irritates me greatly: "No evidence for foo" is used to say both "foo is false" and "we don't know if foo is true yet".

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.

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 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.

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).
