i woke up in the early morning, dreading the impending
alarm. i felt such a flood of relief as i edged into
wakefulness and i realized i could go back to sleep.
later, after more sleep, and home-made oat lattes (found
the machine at a thrift shop for $11 about a year ago,
quite fond of it), i worked on arranging and updating my
files in the SDF server, smoothing things out between
gopher and gemini.
i tried to learn how to back up my SDF files with rsync,
and did a lot of trial and equal error. i will keep
futzing. i guess it must be something about how i'm
entering the file paths. it took me a couple weeks at
least to figure out how to get my gopher hole, and
then gemini capsule running. i love these spaces, love
browsing through the many small worlds of thought, old
and new. i love the feeling of quiet and mystery and
intimacy. it makes me feel like i felt when i was a
teenager first holding my breath at the squeal of the
dialup signal. and i feel safe, here.
tonight, i reorganized my modular case and rewired everything,
after having dismantled things to put together a travel
rack for our recent gig travels. my arms were jellywobbly
from having done up to two hours of weedwhacking. i wish
we could let the violets and dandelions grow, but last year
we got two costly tickets from the city. untamed meadows are
against regulations, i guess.
i worked on figuring out this module that is a Downsampler/
Sample & Hold/Comparator. it's a handmedown/lent module, and
it's been a challenge to decipher. i've tried to read the
manual many times, but only just now finally was able to
translate it into use with some understanding.
is this entry more dry?
we ate italian bread with butter for dinner.
