Title: Celebrating a Busy and Productive Weekend
Date: 11 July 2022
----
I've had a busy and productive weekend and start to the work week, but there's
still quite a bit that I want to do this week, and as I've been working on things
I've been wracked by recurring sudden sharp headaches that I can't pinpoint a
cause for.
Wins / accomplishments (not necessarily in any particular order):
- updated my Known (idno) installation [1] from 0.9.something to current (1.2.2)
- fixed the text formatting (maybe?) for my old gopher posts to something that
is less likely to cut off the middle of words on realistic screen widths
- started cross-posting some of my recent gopher posts to the previously mentioned
known feed (I'm not sure if it's really necessary, but it seems like a good
use for my old, mostly-dormant for a few years known site). I do think there's
a good values cross-over between gopher-paced slow web and IndieWeb.
- applied for a position that would be a logical next step professionally and a
nice pay raise... and made it forward to the next part of the selection process
- finally gave up on trying to fix my old coffeemaker (my fixing strategy was
mostly "try again tomorrow and hope it works" though honestly) and purchased
a new one. It was a depressingly limited selection of non-K-cup normal pot-
based coffee makers, which I guess is a sign of the times...
- watched a good number of Great Performances that have been sitting on the
DVR for too long
- added some additional software to my home server so I don't have to have like
three simultaneous SDF connections all the time
- worked today almost fully on my Silverblue-based primary PC (although I did have
to run Windows for like an hour: to connect to work's VPN and edit a format-
sensitive Word Document I was just a little worried about trusting LibreOffice
with)
- placed in the top 400 for the recent event in Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage
(previous high placement had been only in the top ~2000)
To Do (lol):
- complete the written "interview" for the job I applied for
- hope the headaches resolve themselves?? sad-lol...
- figure out how to disconnect Known's Mastodon link from my old (discontinued)
Mastodon server and connect it to SDF Mastodon
- see if there's a way to salvage my own Known-Twitter link (not working) without
applying to be a Twitter Developer (mega groan)
- test to see if the Tumblr-known link still works (I skipped it today and don't
feel like continuing to sh**post there until tomorrow or later)
- need to keep watching DVR stuff or delete some of it... it's really low on
space... like 98% full...
- ask work if we have access to the RPM that our VPN vendor provides. It's not
publicly available from the vendor's website - they say I need to get it
from our IT office...
- finish playing AI the Somnium Files: nirvanA Initiative!! I REALLY like it so
far but have gotten distracted with this job application and messing around
with gopher and my website lol
- figure out why Lutris on Silverblue doesn't actually want to open anything
(according to research maybe flatpaks can only be opened *BY* flatpak?)
- consider a gemini capsule??? Although I'm still just getting rolling here on
Gopher and don't want to overload...
- figure out what the heck to do with my WOTV guild which seems to be dying
a slow death...
I am glad that I got a good amount done this weekend and start of this week,
and I really hope I can continue this pace... because as I discussed in my first
Gopher post, I've been kind of... listless, I guess lately.
